Nike’s month-long celebration of the illustrious Air Max line takes place every March, and there’s usually a new silhouette debut alongside retro releases and special colorways. So far, things have been quiet on that front, but thanks to rapper Yeat and fragment design’s Hiroshi Fujiwara, we’ve got a look at the latest silhouette to come from the Nike Air Max line, the Air Liquid Max.
In Yeat’s latest music video with enigmatic rapper EsDeeKid, he is seen wearing a black-and-green silhouette with a Nike Swoosh clearly visible on the midfoot. Green hues form circular panels on the reptile-skin-like upper, with the star of the show clearly being the Air unit on the outsole. A number of different Air bubbles, like a liquified version of the Air Max DN’s Air unit or a new version of the Air Max Scorpion (remember those?), run the full length of the silhouette.
Following Yeat’s music video going live yesterday evening, Hiroshi Fujiwara took to Instagram overnight to post an on-foot photo of a collaborative colorway with his fragment design label. As is customary with fragment collabs, the color palette sticks to neutral tones, with this pair covered in a mixture of black and anthracite. Final details include a blacked-out Nike Swoosh and the liquified Air unit below. Not visible in this teaser is fragment design’s traditional tooling code stamped somewhere on the model.
More info regarding the Nike Air Liquid Max should come to light in the coming weeks as we enter Air Max Month. What we do know is that the fragment design collab is expected to debut in Spring 2026 for $225. Additional GR colorways will be released in the Summer 2026 season and beyond for $230.
