Nike Air Max Pre-Day LX Chlorophyll

Nike Air Max technology has been around for over three decades but development never stops. The Swoosh brand combines the old with the new in the Nike Air Max Pre-Day silhouette which is one of the latest additions to the Air Max roster. It was introduced in 2021.

Taking design cues from the classic Nike Daybreak jogging shoe, the Nike Air Max Pre-Day is a lifestyle sneaker that utilizes sustainable materials on key areas of the shoe. This is part of Nike’s ongoing Move to Zero campaign. The Air Max Pre-Day is comprised of recycled polyester on the vamp and quarter panels, recycled polyurethane on the suede and synthetic overlays, recycled TPU for the airbag, and Nike’s Grind Rubber which is made up of scraps collected from Nike factories.

The Nike Air Max unit has returned in the heel but this time the entire heel is cored-out to reveal a fully exposed unit which allows for more bounce and impact protection. A TPU plate is added on the heel to keep the shoe stable as well as provide overall support. There are fewer layers between the foot and the Air, making each step more comfortable.

A waffle traction outsole with a hollowed-out area on the midfoot delivers consistent grip on all surfaces.

This LX (Luxe) version’s colourway arrives in a Green and Olive Green mixture with Orange accents on the Swoosh and the heel pull tab. The suede overlays appear in a darker shade of green, while the tongue and the midsole showcase a cream white tint for a vintage finish. Old-school “Nike” labels can be found on the tongue and the heel.

Released early August 2021, expect more Air Max Pre-Day flavours to arrive in LX versions as the year closes out.
