Nike Air Max Dn8
Legendary designer Tinker Hatfield drew inspiration from Parisian architecture to reestablish Air technology as a leader in cushioning. The Nike Air Max DN8 Summit takes Hatfield's advanced Dynamic Air technology and condenses it into a sleek, low-profile silhouette.

The Dynamic Air unit sits directly above the rubber outsole for a lower, more stable profile, while the lightweight upper radiates energy through breathable mesh. Wrapped in a bold, high-contrast colorway, the DN8 Summit presents a sleek and modern interpretation of Nike's evolving Air platform.
