The Nike Air Liquid Max pushes visible Air into new territory, introducing a futuristic cushioning system built around individually articulated Air pods. Inspired by the vivid colors and organic textures of tree frogs, the silhouette pairs an expressive technical upper with an unconventional sole unit designed to create a smooth, fluid feel underfoot. This "Radiant Blue" edition features a black textured mesh upper layered with blue and purple detailing, creating a striking contrast against the sculpted tooling. A drop-in Cushlon midsole sits above the point-loaded Air system, combining soft cushioning with the distinctive exposed pod construction that defines the Liquid Max. A new expression of Air.
