Even when you go beyond the rare pairs that drop on SNKRS, Nike’s sneaker catalog is staggering. The performance giant’s ability to feed all your footwear needs gets more impressive by the week. New running shoes? Check. Something to wear at the beach? Check. A pair inspired by Donkey Kong?! Check. Take a look at our favorite kicks and colorways that the brand dropped this March, and nab a pair for yourself before it’s too late.
Article Overview
Nike Aqua Turf
Whether going to the beach or on a hike, a proper pair of water shoes will make your experience all the better. Nike’s streamlined Aqua Turf silhouette has a stretchy, glove-like upper that almost feels as though you’re not even wearing shoes. Accompanied by a sock-like collar and grippy rubber outsole, these low-profile steppers are a great choice for your next H2O-packed adventure. Now, you can nab them in a sleek olive colorway for a forest-esque feel.
Nike Cortez Leather
The iconic, old-school silhouette reigns supreme when you consider how easy it is to style, and this clean new pair has a sky-blue swoosh that is perfect to wear as clouds clear up. Best of all, Nike made the Cortez more comfortable than ever, widening the toe box, firming up its side panels, and reconstructing the upper for enhanced durability. This lowers the odds of constant creasing and scuffing, so they’ll stay fresh longer.
Nike P-6000
Speaking of old-school, how long does a pair of shoes take to be considered classic? The chic, shiny P-6000 pulls elements from the 2006 Air Pegasus and Air Pegasus 25 to put a new-age twist on two Y2K-era running favorites. The sneaker’s airy mesh upper sits atop a lightweight foam midsole for easygoing comfort and a grippy rubber outsole that mirrors the 2006 design, assuring trusty traction on city streets.
Nike Air Max Dn8
The new Dn8 silhouette takes the Dynamic Air system to the next level, featuring four extra Air tubes across the toebox for a reimagined underfoot feel. Nike’s spin on the Air Max Dn has a lightweight mesh upper finished with slashes for even more breathability. Meanwhile, added material around the toebox and a plastic heel clip offer a serious durability upgrade. Since dropping on SNKRS in February, we’ve seen several colorways hit shelves, but this stark black pair takes the crown for March.
Nike Alphafly 3
Geared towards marathon runners, the lightest pair of Alphaflys to date has all the necessary features for taking on a big race. A pair of Air Zoom units at the forefoot work alongside ZoomX, Nike’s latest and greatest foam innovation, for top-tier energy return. These are accompanied by a full-length carbon plate to help propel you through every stride, paving the way for smoother twists and turns. Of course, high performance comes at a higher price, but these new all-white Alphafly 3s check every box for road racers.
Nike Air Max 1 “Big Head Origins”
Honorable Mention: Taking after one of the world’s most popular primates, this limited edition pair certainly passes the eye test for retro gamers. While the colorway is indirectly inspired, one look at the hairy brown suede upper and bright red Swoosh makes it clear that these shoes are fit for none other than DK himself. Although the nostalgia-inducing “Big Head Origins” sold out quickly, keep your eyes peeled for future gaming-inspired pairs from Nike that will hit shelves later this year.
