Back in 2001, Nike dropped the Air Max Craze as part of its innovative Alpha Project line—futuristic, functional, and unlike anything else in the Air Max catalogue. Now, it’s coming back with all its bold design DNA intact, updated with a few thoughtful tweaks for 2025. And this “Black Bright Citrus” edition doesn’t hold back.
The upper features a soft neoprene build covered in grid graphics and wave patterns, giving it a technical, Y2K edge. A front zip closure takes inspiration from the Air Sunder, while the open-back shape with a TPU strap and padded slingback keeps things secure but breathable. It blends slip-on convenience with cross-training performance, ideal for everyday movement.
Bright Citrus hits highlight the shoe’s bold personality—from the toe detailing to the durable rubber outsole. Max Air units in the forefoot and heel sit inside a white foam midsole, cushioning every step and softening landings without adding bulk. It’s still rooted in that Alpha Project vibe too, with five-dot branding on the upper as a subtle nod to its origins.
Whether you’re reliving the early 2000s or discovering the Craze for the first time, this pair delivers attitude, comfort, and standout Nike design all in one.
