Black Air Max Shoes & Trainers

Our black Air Max shoes combine great support with a slick, go-with-anything colourway. But there's still plenty of variety—you'll find an iconic selection of silhouettes. These are made using athlete-informed data for a natural, comfortable feel. Where your shoe meets the ground, engineered outsoles deliver the traction you need to move with confidence. Choosing footwear for a junior athlete? We have smart all-black pairs with tonal branding to match their school's uniform policy.

At the heart of our black Air Max trainers is our iconic Air unit. First, it absorbs the energy of each step and movement. Then it snaps back into place to return the force of your stride. That creates a propulsive, bouncy feel to power you forward. Plus, its air-filled design provides the cushioning you need without weighing you down. For added support, choose pairs with plush foam through the midsole. It provides extra comfort to help reduce fatigue, so you can push yourself harder and for longer.

We make our black Air Max trainers in a choice of upper styles to match the demands of your sport. Flexible mesh designs promote air circulation around your foot. That helps you stay cool and collected. For durable footwear that's built to go the distance, pick out a pair in hardwearing leather. Heading out in wet conditions? Choose shoes with water-repellent technology to help you stay dry.

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join us, choose Air Max black shoes with our Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill. Plus, since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste.
