Nike Air Max DN8 "Safety Orange Game Royal" IM7405-100

Nike strips things back and packs in Air where it matters. The Air Max DN 8 “Safety Orange/Game Royal” lands with a reworked, lower-profile build that doesn’t cut corners. Eight visible Air tubes now run the length of the footbed, sitting closer to the outsole for a smoother, more grounded ride. It feels lighter, quicker, and more responsive than the last iteration.

That orange hits hard. “Safety Orange” floods the Dynamic Air unit, heel, and parts of the collar, adding energy to the mesh upper. The “Game Royal” blue balances it out on the toe, tongue, and outsole, giving the pair a sharp contrast that pops from all angles. Subtle black and grey overlays hold the build together, anchoring the wild colour palette with some neutral restraint.

Up top, Nike cuts breathable mesh into jagged panels across the forefoot and sidewalls. Open sections peek through for better airflow, while welded overlays create structure without bulk. The sculpted foam around the heel and collar boosts comfort and keeps everything snug around the ankle. Inside, Nike’s injected the sockliner with soft foam for added step-in feel.

This one’s built for movement. Whether you’re walking around the city or picking up the pace, the Air Max DN 8 keeps you steady and springy. It sits lower than previous Air Max releases but doesn’t feel flat. The Air tubes handle impact well and flex naturally underfoot. For anyone after comfort without the chunk, this colourway brings tech and attitude in equal measure.
