The Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Neon” Ollies Into Air Max Month

Air Max Month has always been about nostalgia — but in 2026, it feels more coordinated than ever. With the return of the Air Max 95 “Neon” leading the charge, Nike is extending that unmistakable grey-and-volt palette across multiple categories, making March less of a single-silhouette celebration and more of a full-blown franchise moment.

And this time, skateboarding gets a seat at the table.

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Neon” folds the iconic color scheme into the only true Air Max model in the SB lineup. Ishod Wair’s signature silhouette already carries visible Air in its heel, making it a natural bridge between performance skate footwear and running heritage. Now, it’s dressed in one of the most recognizable Air Max color stories of all time.

A layered grey gradient works across the upper, blending mesh, suede, and leather panels to mirror the depth of the Air Max 95. Beneath the side mesh windows, a flash of vibrant neon green pulses through, matched by bold hits on the lace eyelets and the heel Air unit. The color placement feels deliberate — less of a copy-paste job and more of a reinterpretation through a skate lens.

Underfoot, the darkened midsole anchors the palette while the visible Air bubble carries that volt tint, reinforcing the Air Max DNA without overwhelming the design. Subtle “WAIR” branding along the eyestay keeps the signature element intact, ensuring this isn’t just a themed takedown.

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Neon” shows how far Air Max Month has expanded. What once centered on retro runners now stretches into skate, lifestyle, and beyond — a signal that “Neon” isn’t just a colorway this year, it’s a unifying theme.

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Neon” is scheduled to release on February 28th at select skate shops, with a wider Nike.com launch yet to be confirmed.
