Nike‘s duo of 3D-printed sneakers, the Air Max 1000 and Air Max 95000, have only been released a handful of times since the former model launched in 2024. As part of its annual Air Max Day celebration, Nike will bring back one sold-out variant of the Air Max 1000 for the very first time.
The Nike Air Max 1000 “Black/Volt” will restock this week through Zellerfeld, the 3D-printing specialists that have partnered with Nike to produce both futuristic Air Max shoes. The all-black slip-on is 3D printed as a single piece featuring multiple textures and branding elements, and a bright green Air Max unit is popped into the heel. Made out of Zellerfeld’s TPU ZellerFoam material, the soft and flexible silhouette borrows many of the same lines from the seminal Air Max sneaker from 1987, the Air Max 1.
