Obscure Air Max models have had a cult following for decades, though we’re fortunate that every so often, Nike will dig back into the archives to revive these oft-forgotten sneakers. For 2025, Nike retroed the Air Max Craze, a women’s cross-training Air Max sneaker originally released in 2001 to little fanfare. Following a series of GR releases, the pair is undergoing a collaborative makeover thanks to Marseille FC.
Nike and Marseille are no strangers. Back in 2023, The Swoosh tapped the French football club for a special colorway of the Air Max Plus. Following this is the pictured Air Max Craze, which has its upper redone to feature a semi-transparent ripstop that reveals the wide-spaced mesh base below. This creamy finish is applied to the TPU heel counter and heel pad, the leather tongue, and the interior lining.
