Nike Introduces Air Max Dn8: the Next Chapter in Dynamic Air

Feb 3, 2025

Air Max fans are feeling excited as Nike has announced the next chapter in Dynamic Air technology, the Air Max Dn8.

The Air Max Dn8 serves as a sequel to last year’s Air Max Dn, which introduced Dynamic Air in the form of a dual-chamber four-tubed Nike Air unit in the heel of the midsole. The new Dn8 model expands this tech to the full length of the foot, adding four additional tubes to the forefoot for a total of eight tubes total.

“For the Dn8, we wanted to be lower to the ground. We wanted to feel more Air. We wanted to improve transition,” says Jonathan Kosenick, Lead Designer of Men’s Sportswear at Nike. “All of those goals led us to design the shoe with eight Air chambers directly in contact with the ground, which allows the chambers to more effectively compress and be way more flexible, delivering a much bouncier, springier sensation that channels a Nike performance footwear approach into a shoe you want to wear every day.”

The rear Air unit on the Air Max Dn8 features the same pressure differential as the one on Air Max Dn, with the two rear tubes tuned to 15 psi and the front two at 5 psi. The added Air unit on the forefoot mirrors the rear unit, with the lower-pressure tubes in the back and the two higher-pressure tubes in the front. These two units work in tandem to create a sustained, pressurized flow from the heel to the forefoot — delivering optimal cushioning and heel-to-toe propulsion. The new model also features a breathable and lightweight all-mesh upper to complement the Dynamic Air technology.

The Nike Air Max Dn8 makes its debut in a “Hyper Pink” colorway, set to drop February 6th on SNKRS and at select retailers. A “University Red” colorway will be follow on March 6th, with additional colorways launching in the following weeks. Check out the upcoming
