Nike Air Max Flyknit Racer

Paying homage to both heritage and innovation, we've blended 2 icons (old and new) to go beyond what's expected in the Nike Air Max Flyknit Racer. Incredibly light and airy Flyknit pairs with oh-so-comfy Air Max cushioning. Lace up and let your feet do the talking.

Retro Super Power

Inspired by the 2012 FK Racer, the featherweight, form-fitting Flyknit upper is as revolutionary as it is good looking. Plus, the nearly seamless design adds a sporty edge.

Best Made Better

The modernized look of the Pre-Day tooling fits perfectly with this mashup of heritage meets innovation. With its chiseled heel and expressive window around the Air Max cushioning (originally designed for performance running) it delivers a fresh take on tried-and-true comfort.

More Benefits

• Soft synthetic suede detailing adds a classic touch.
• Collar sculpts the ankle for a track-inspired look.
• Foam midsole delivers springy cushioning.

Nike Air Max Origins

Revolutionary Air technology first made its way into Nike footwear in 1978. In 1987, the Air Max 1 debuted with visible Air technology in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air cushioning—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
