Nike keeps its momentum going with the Air Max Sunder, dropping a fresh “Obsidian” colorway for Fall 2025. Following the model’s successful return last year, fueled by general releases and a standout Kids of Immigrants collaboration, the brand now sharpens the Sunder’s visual impact with an updated build and a bold new palette.

Originally released in 1999, the Air Max Sunder stood out for its futuristic zip-up shroud and streamlined profile. The 2025 “Obsidian” version carries that identity forward while introducing upgrades aimed at breathability and visual contrast. Mesh cut-outs line the upper, exposing a vivid Sundial orange base under the deep navy shroud. The dark sole and layered detailing push the sneaker into sport-utility territory, built as much for the street as the archive shelf.
A zippered enclosure replaces laces, making the Sunder easy to step into while maintaining its sleek structure. Reflective strips line the sides, adding visibility and an edge that flashes in motion. Inside, the lining glows with vibrant color, subtle during the day, wild under lights.
Nike builds this edition with comfort in mind. A full-length visible Air unit underfoot ensures responsive cushioning, whether you’re walking long distances or spending hours on your feet. For sneaker fans who lean toward innovation over nostalgia, the Sunder provides a solid option, something that doesn’t feel pulled from the past, but still respects it.
The “Obsidian” joins a growing rollout of Sunder editions planned for the year. A ventilated “Blue Camo” version hits shelves this week, and more styles are likely to follow. With consistent drops and material experimentation, Nike signals that the Air Max Sunder remains central to its seasonal lineup.
Expect the Air Max Sunder “Obsidian” to launch Fall 2025 through Nike SNKRS and select retailers, priced at $180 USD. Its arrival strengthens the Sunder’s return, now sharper, cooler, and better equipped for modern wear.
