Cav Empt Teases Nike Air Max Dn8 Collaboration

Summary

Cav Empt and Nike are reigniting their partnership with three takes on the Air Max Dn8
Colorway options include black and gray, teal and white, and all-gray
Look out for it to drop later this year

Nike ushered in the next chapter of Air Max earlier this year by introducing the Air Max Dn8. Since then, countless colorways and a handful of collaborations have dropped. Adding to its arsenal, the Swoosh has turned back time to revive its partnership with Cav Empt for three more special pairs. The Japanese label teamed up with Nike in early 2019 for an apparel capsule alongside two Air Max 95s.

Our first look at the Cav Empt x Nike Air Max Dn8 campaign comes courtesy of the former’s Fall/Winter 2025 lookbook. Three co-designed colorways of the sneaker are present throughout the imagery, revealing that the two have again utilized pixel-inspired patterns. A black and gray pair is joined by a teal and white version, as well as an all-gray rendition. This limited preview of the design sees it sport “CE” branding at the tongue.

At the time of writing, neither Cav Empt nor Nike have indicated when their collaborative takes on the Air Max Dn8 will be dropping. Stay tuned for updates, including a complete look at all three colorways, as we currently expect the project to release later this year via Cav Empt, Nike, and select retailers around the model’s typical $200 USD price point.
