The Nike Air Max Ishod gets a new coat of paint with this bold “Court Purple” edition, fusing retro basketball cues with tech built for skateboarding. This isn’t just a colour swap. It brings fresh materials, updated details, and a dialled-in feel right out of the box.
Designed in collaboration with pro skater Ishod Wair, the silhouette blends performance and personality. The layered mesh upper now feels even more breathable, with touches of suede providing structure across the forefoot and heel. Exposed Max Air cushioning in the heel boosts comfort under pressure, while the cupsole construction offers dependable support without feeling stiff.
Underfoot, Nike’s herringbone traction keeps the ride steady on and off the board. The midsole strikes a balance—firm enough to handle landings, soft enough for everyday wear. The outsole flexes naturally, making the break-in process easier than most skate-inspired builds.
Details like the hidden “Ishod” text under the eyestays and “Wair” embroidery on the tongue pull it all together, while the purple and black upper delivers visual punch without being loud. It leans into sport heritage while staying grounded in today’s skate culture.
