WMNS Nike Air Max Craze "Midnight Navy" FZ2089-400

Originally introduced in 2001, the Air Max Craze returns in women’s sizing with its bold cross-training DNA intact. This “Midnight Navy” edition stays faithful to the original, balancing archival details with an understated palette that feels just right for now.

Nylon forms the base layer, wrapped in deep navy across the upper. The black tongue shroud, liner and zip cover add stealth, while crisp white piping creates sharp contrast around the collar. TPU heel lifts and padded ankle guards appear in muted grey, giving the shoe its layered, technical shape. Branding is minimal, but those who know will catch the debossed “Cross Training” text stamped across the toe cap and outsole — a subtle nod to its roots.

Underfoot, the all-white midsole is fitted with visible Air cushioning at the heel. It softens impact and keeps the ride smooth, whether you’re walking or on the move all day. The heel lift and curved outsole structure give it extra height and support, recalling its original use as a multi-purpose trainer.

There’s a Sunder-like feel in its construction, but the Craze is less bulky and more streamlined. It fits snug and wears light. Nike’s decision to market it in women’s sizing adds a layer of exclusivity that mirrors its cult following from the early 2000s.

The return feels low-key, but it lands with purpose — a smart retro reissue that gets the details right without forcing nostalgia.
