Nike Introduces the Air Max Scorpion

Nike is taking sport footwear into a new era with the Air Max Scorpion, the first shoe to debut its latest silhouette and its upgraded Nike Air technology. Built over 18 months in collaboration with a team of scientists, designers, and engineers all working remotely during the pandemic, it was crafted using VR technology and simulation tools that allowed its creators to optimize both aesthetics and performance while also maximizing manufacturability.

The new Nike Air features more pounds of air per square inch, a more dynamic ride, and better cushioning, with a piston-like effect intended to increase jump height and run speed. It promises to be a shoe that enhances wearer awareness of their movement and facilitate smoother, more efficient motion across the board. Available October 5, 2022.
