The sneaker that redefined the game is back. On October 21, Nike Air Max 1000 “Lilac” drops exclusively via Zellerfeld.com, marking the next chapter in the evolution of 3D-printed footwear.
Originally introduced as the first-ever 3D-printed Air Max, the silhouette continues to push boundaries — combining culture, technology, and design in one seamless form. After debuting at ComplexCon 2024 and selling out instantly on SNKRS and Zellerfeld, the Nike Air Max 1000 has become one of the most sought-after sneakers in the world — with resale prices soaring past $5,000 USD on StockX.
A New Era of Air
The “Lilac” colorway introduces a bold, sculptural update to the Air Max legacy — designed without stitching, glue, or waste. Each pair is fully 3D-printed in one piece through Zellerfeld’s proprietary technology, showcasing what happens when computational design meets sneaker culture.
“This is one of those rare moments when you know you’re witnessing history being made,” said Cornelius Schmitt, Co-Founder and CEO of Zellerfeld. “The first 3D-printed Air Max sparked global demand before it even launched. To ensure fair access this time, we’re launching a raffle instead of a standard drop.”
