en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the spring of 2026, American sportswear company Nike launched an upgraded version of its 3D-printed sneaker, the Air Max 1000.2. Manufactured in collaboration with 3D-printed shoe factory Zellerfeld, the shoe is scheduled for official release on May 7 through the Snkrs app, priced at $179. Nike will also hold a raffle event via Zellerfeld from May 4 to 7, offering some consumers an early purchase opportunity.

The Air Max 1000.2 continues the design inspiration of Nike's 1987 Air Max 1, retaining the overall shoe shape, the wave pattern on the lower upper, the embedded Nike swoosh logo, and the "air" lettering on the heel. Compared to its predecessor, this model features an all-black appearance and incorporates several upgrades to the 3D printing process. The new outsole shape and improved lug design make the shoe easier to 3D print without compromising comfort and durability-1. Nike stated that the integrated upgrades in the Air Max 1000.2 enhance 3D printing efficiency, reduce material waste, and significantly shorten assembly time-6.

The Air Max 1000.2 builds on the success of Nike's first 3D-printed sneaker, the Air Max 1000. Launched in 2024, the Air Max 1000 was brought to market by Zellerfeld using its extrusion technology and thermoplastic polyurethane in a nearly one-piece construction. Beyond the Air Max 1000 series, Nike has also introduced the Air Max 95000, inspired by the Air Max 95, and initiated an R&D program celebrating the 40th anniversary of Air Max, inviting eight designers from around the world to create 3D-printed Air Max styles inspired by their respective cities.
