In February, Nike's Air Max DN8 debuted as the latest and greatest Air Max sneaker. It got a pretty awesome welcome wagon, launching in this bright "Hyper Pink" colorway worn by stars like Victor Wembanyama and Central Cee.

Nike's definitely thinking big and bold with the Air Max DN8. The design alone is an absolute stunner, boasting this full-length sole of Nike's Dynamic Air technology. Moreover, the DN8's lineup so far is pretty stacked with colorways ranging from the timeless "Panda" scheme to Air Max classics like "Neon."

We'll also see the Nike Air Max DN8 get a little wild with an upcoming snakeskin iteration. I mean, it is the year of the snake. So, snakeskin DN8s it is!

Reptilian textures cover the shoe entirely, including its bulbous Air soles and breezy mesh uppers, giving it this slick, exotic look. The Air Max DN, the DN8's big brother, also got a luxe snakeskin previously.

There's no hard release date just yet for the snakeskin Nike Air Max DN8s. But Nike is expected to release several colorways of its advanced Air Max sneaker in March (reminder: Air Max Day is also in March). Adding these serpentine pairs to the lineup would truly be the icing on the snake — I mean, cake.
