Overview

  • Nike’s new Air Liquid Max introduces point-loaded Air cushioning placed only where needed with a cored-out midsole to reduce weight and sit low to the ground.
  • The upper uses a three-layer textured print inspired by poison dart frogs, showcased on the launch colorway Black/Chrome/Green Apple/Volt/Radiant Green/Clear.
  • The debut pair (style code IQ7634-001) releases March 26 on the SNKRS app and at select Nike Sportswear retailers for $230.
  • Fragment Design’s collaboration comes in Black/Anthracite/Black with custom insoles and packaging, priced at $225 and carrying style code IQ8601-001.
  • Nike designers describe the model as connecting science to art, while early media reaction frames it as a bold, experimental entry that could steer 2026 sneaker design toward more radical soles.
