The Palace x Nike Air Max DN8 “Black Safety Orange” turns things up fast. This pair pushes the DN8 silhouette into louder territory, packed with colour hits, lightning graphics and sharp details that jump out even from a distance. It’s bold. It’s busy. It’s the kind of shoe that gets reactions the second you step out.
The upper sets the tone. A dark mesh base becomes a canvas for bright lightning streaks that wrap across the shoe. It feels energetic without slipping into chaos. TPU fingers slice over the top layer, nodding to the Air Max Plus in a way sneaker fans will clock straight away. The mix keeps the shoe familiar while still feeling new.
Now the orange. Those Safety Orange accents spark across the tongue guard, the collars and the rear portion of the midsole stripes. The shade is sharp, giving the shoe a quick punch of colour that breaks through the black foundation. Metallic Swooshes sit on the side, adding a clean shine that plays well with the brighter touches.
You’ll also spot “Palace” text above the translucent toe guard and Nike x Palace branding across the upper. The logos aren’t shy, but they fit the mood of the design. This shoe enjoys being loud.
Underfoot, the DN8 cushioning brings steady comfort. Eight air-filled tubes run heel to toe, helping each stride feel smooth and steady. It works for long city walks or quick day-to-day wear.
