Supreme and Nike have revealed the Air Max Ecstasy for Fall Winter 2026, bringing back the long-discontinued Air Max 2001 for its first retro release. The collaboration returns to Nike’s Alpha Project archive and updates the early-2000s runner through Supreme’s color choices and branding.

The sneaker arrives with a red mesh upper finished in a matte texture. Supreme uses its signature red tone throughout most of the upper, giving the model a direct connection to the New York label. A bright yellow midsole creates the main contrast, while metallic silver Air bubbles sit underfoot and add another visual element to the color scheme.
The biggest change appears in the TPU cage that runs through the upper. Nike originally used straight horizontal lines on the Air Max 2001, but Supreme replaces those elements with lettering. The modified structure spells out “Supreme” across the lateral and medial sides, turning a functional part of the original design into the collaboration’s main graphic detail.

That treatment gives the sneaker a recognizable Supreme identity without removing the architecture of the original Air Max 2001. The shape still reflects the performance-running design language associated with Nike’s early-2000s Alpha Project period. The cage, mesh construction and visible Air units remain central to the silhouette, while the revised lettering changes how those familiar components read visually.
The Air Max 2001 Ecstasy also continues Supreme’s interest in lesser-known Nike models. Rather than working with one of the brand’s most frequently retroed silhouettes, the collaboration returns to a sneaker that has remained absent since its original release period. The Fall Winter 2026 version marks the first time Nike has brought the Air Max 2001 back in retro form.
The Supreme x Nike Air Max 2001 Ecstasy will release exclusively through Supreme as part of the brand’s Fall Winter 2026 collection. The collaboration introduces the first retro of the Air Max 2001 through a version shaped by Supreme’s branding, color palette and treatment of the shoe’s original TPU cage.
