Martine Rose is working with Nike on a collab version of the Air Max Craze, a sneaker industry source tells Complex. The upcoming Martine Rose x Nike Air Max Craze (style code IH4886-133) is scheduled as a Fall 2025 release, but its arrival is subject to change.
Nike has not confirmed the upcoming collaboration, and the brand did not respond to a request for comment.
Martine Rose has worked with Nike before, re-designing popular shoes like the dad shoe mainstay Monarch 4, distorted through her lens with bulbous shapes on the upper, and the Shox R4, where she recast the boing sneaker as a heeled mule. Her upcoming Air Max Craze will be a different type of project in that it uses as its source material a niche shoe rather than a hugely salient one.
Nike is planning to bring the Air Max Craze, a techy, forgotten runner from around 2001, back for the first time ever next year. (The pair pictured here is an original, and not a leak of the coming collab.) The retro will include inline versions to go along with special editions like the Martine Rose pairs.
