Nike’s Limited Edition 3D-Printed Sneaker: Only 300 Pairs Available

Nike and Zellerfeld have collaborated to create the 3D-printed shoe Air Max 1000, which will be available on August 19 through the Zellerfeld website. It is reported that there will only be 300 pairs, priced at $180.

The Air Max 1000 shoe is a new Air Max silhouette powered by Zellerfeld’s proprietary and fully automated 3D printers, which can turn digital designs into wild, recyclable sneakers on the fly.

It’s an innovation that echoes the initial ingenuity of Nike’s Air Max unit, itself a giant leap forward for footwear.

In one major move, the futuristic Air Max sneaker completely eliminates laces due to its soft, elastic structure that snugly wraps around the foot.

The Air Max 1000 is still an Air Max, however, so it’s fitted with a visible air unit in its sole that looks similar to the Air Max 90, arguably the single most iconic Air Max sneaker ever.
