In 1987, Nike launched its first Air Max silhouette, which marked a revolution in the sneaker industry due to its style and technology. The sneaker lineage of this particular Swoosh rendition currently consists of many silhouettes that started with Air Max 1 and later went on to create Air Max 90, 95, 97, 360, 180, 720, and many more.
These sneakers combine unprecedented comfort and striking color schemes. Moreover, the Nike Air Max silhouette line has continued to capture the attention of global fans and athletes. The basketball-turned-lifestyle shoe is awaited every month by many sneakerheads for exclusive and special GRs.

Top 5 upcoming Nike Air Max silhouettes releasing in December 2022 with eye-catching makeovers
1) Air Max 97 "Hangul Day"
The first rendition to arrive in December is a clean makeover of the Air Max 97. The silhouette celebrates Korea's national holiday of Alphabet Day, also known as Hangul Day. The official site reads:
"A, B, C—let's go! Celebrating Hangul Day, Air Max 97 elevates your game with a fresh, fashion-forward twist. Subtle design details like stitched squares on the tongue and plastic overlay on the side with "나이키" honor the Korean alphabet. And for a premium finish, synthetic suede leather and reflective accents elevate the look and feel."
The sneakers can be copped via Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers at $190 on December 6, 2022.
2) Air Max Penny "Black and Metallic Silver"
The second silhouette on the list is a tribute to basketball legend Penny Hardaway. The pair arrives in a sleek and classic colorway that is minimalistic yet stylish. Writing about the Air Max Penny "Black and Metallic Silver," the official website of Nike states:
"Paying tribute to basketball icon Penny Hardaway, the Air Max Penny pulls from the vault to bring you a near 1:1 replica of the hoops original that stole the spotlight in '96... Oh, and the synthetic leather in a Black and Metallic Silver colorway—it's smooth like the legend's stepback jumper.

"We asked the Nike soothsayer what your future holds. The answer? A whole lotta comfort. Built around the concept of "point loading," the Air Max Scorpion opens a new chapter in the book of footwear magic. Consult the crystal ball again: You'll see a disruptive design that pairs super-soft chenille fabric with incredibly lightweight Flyknit."
