The Nike Air Max Sunder, a beloved sneaker from 1999, makes a triumphant return for Fall 2024. Originally known as the Air Sunder Max, this classic silhouette will once again captivate sneaker enthusiasts with its iconic design and nostalgic appeal.
According to renowned sneaker insider @cakenotcrumbs, two original colorways of the Nike Air Max Sunder will be released later this year. The “Deep Ocean/Gold/Deep Yellow” and “Black/Light Graphite/Gray” iterations showcase the shoe’s authentic ’90s aesthetic, staying true to the original design that graced Nike catalogs at the turn of the millennium.
While Nike previously collaborated with COMME des GARÇONS on a limited-edition Air Max Sunder release in 2021, the upcoming drop marks the first time the sneaker will be available as a general release since its initial debut. Unlike the CDG collaboration, which featured a contemporary twist on the silhouette, the 2024 versions aim to replicate the original design, complete with the signature TPR pods.
Sneakerheads can expect meticulous attention to detail in the upcoming Air Max Sunder releases. Nike‘s designers have reportedly gone to great lengths to ensure that the shoes remain true to their predecessors, although hidden enhancements utilizing modern sneaker technology are a possibility. Regardless, purists will be pleased to know that the 2024 iterations bear a striking resemblance to the original pairs.
While no official announcements have been made, the shoes are expected to hit shelves in Fall 2024 with a projected MSRP of $180, as stated during last year’s SNKRS Showcase.
