WMNS Nike Air Max Craze "Smokey Blue" HM5515-001

Nike revives one of its more experimental runners with the return of the Air Max Craze, landing this time in a cooler, moodier palette. The “Smokey Blue” colourway softens the silhouette’s usual eccentric edge, leaning into a calm, aquatic mix while still holding onto the design DNA that made it stand out during its Alpha Project debut.

The shoe sticks with its original slingback construction, a standout feature that defined the Craze at launch. This version pulls things back slightly, creating a cleaner overall look. But it doesn’t lose its presence. Tonal shifts across the upper—from muted blues to darker steel shades—add depth without shouting for attention. The Air unit at the heel gives off a subtle Smokey Blue glow, tying everything together without forcing it.

Underfoot, the Craze keeps its distinctive midsole shape intact, offering a sculpted look that still holds up today. While the aesthetic leans more reserved than some previous colourways, the structure stays bold. Some have compared this release to the Air Max Sunder, and it’s easy to see why—the curves, the material mix, the balance between technical design and lifestyle intent.
