In recent years, the Nike Air Max Sunder has really become a style star, having landed at the center of some major collaborations with fashion's hottest brands. Plus, Nike keeps the Air Max model looking quite good with stylish general release colorways.

And to be honest, it just got even better. Meet Nike's new premium Air Max Sunder, which is crafted with top-quality leather.

Wait, wait, wait. Leather Sunders? Absolutely.

Fine leathers take over the newest Air Max Sunder, showcasing a mix of buttery moments and grainy textures across the distinct uppers. The shoe's normal build usually calls for neoprene and mesh, but the leather has a certain je ne sais quoi.

Air Max Sunder lovers can still count on much of the sneaker's traditional design, now wrapped up in delectable leather and creamy hues. The shoe's chunked-up Air soles remain intact, while its easy-on convenience, including the zipper closures, are preserved.

Nike's Air Max Sunder really can do no wrong, whether it be this full-leather makeover or waterproof GORE-TEX constructions. Indeed, Nike's Air Max Sunder has seen great drops in schemes like "Obscura" and retro neons. Additionally, the model received a super thoughtful spin by Kids of Immigrants, resulting in a coveted and beautiful collaboration in "Sunrise" and "Sun Down" colorways.

Although Nike's Air Max Sunder officially returned in 2024, it truly came back in 2022. That year, COMME des GARÇONS Homme Plus took the zip-tastic sneakers for a ride, quietly reviving the model in classic black and white CdG color schemes.
