We asked the Nike soothsayer what your future holds. The answer? A whole lotta comfort. Built around the concept of "point loading" (translation: great responsiveness, better sensation and improved cushioning), the Air Max Scorpion opens a new chapter in the book of footwear magic. Consult the crystal ball again: You'll see a disruptive design that pairs ultra-soft fabric, lightweight Flyknit and recycled material—the entire design is made with at least 20% recycled content by weight. Step outside and let the sun's magic take over by activating the UV-sensitive Nike Air unit. It's a true fashion-meets-sport aesthetic—the perfect finish for your spellbinding look.

Mixed Materials

The upper pairs synthetic leather and a soft knit fabric with incredibly lightweight Flyknit—striking a balance between fashion and sport. Flyknit material uses stretchy, high-strength yarns to help keep your foot secure.

Future of Comfort

Built around the concept of "point-loading" (designer jargon that simply means responsiveness and improved comfort), Nike Air units work in tandem with other components to deliver a new underfoot sensation.

Traction that Takes You Places

The outsole pattern is designed to help improve traction on various surfaces, so you can focus on the journey ahead.

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.
