Palace x Nike Air Max DN8: Official Images Reveal Three Bold Colourways
Palace’s long-running partnership with adidas may have ended, but the London skate brand isn’t slowing down. After months of speculation, the first official images of the Palace x Nike Air Max DN8 have surfaced – marking the most detailed look yet at a collaboration that initially hinted at Palace’s shift from the Three Stripes to the Swoosh late last year.
The Air Max DN8, already one of Nike’s most talked-about new silhouettes, appears in three Palace-designed colourways that fully embrace the brand’s taste for playful, maximalist visuals. Each pair is built around a dramatic lightning motif stretched across the mesh upper, giving the eight-chambered sneaker a loud, retro-inspired identity.
Two of the colourways take a more muted route with “Dusty Grey” and “Black” base tones, allowing the lightning graphic to stand out. Vibrant “Safety Orange” accents add contrast across the collars, metallic Swooshes, and midsole striping. Palace branding also appears along translucent toe guards, reinforcing the co-branded feel.
The third pair flips the palette entirely: orange takes the lead as the dominant colour, with grey serving as the neutral backdrop. While it’s the brightest of the trio, sneaker fans may gravitate toward the subtler iterations thanks to one key feature – each boasts a split-colour execution across the Air unit, with different shades used on the front and back Dynamic Air chambers.
Rounding off the design, the Palace Tri-Ferg intersects with the Nike Swoosh at the tongue, leaving no doubt about the collaborators behind the energetic pack.
Although the official images offer the clearest look so far, Nike and Palace have yet to confirm release specifics. The collection is still expected to launch during the Holiday 2025 season, with additional details likely to emerge in the coming months.
