The celebrity-loved shoe first debuted in February. It's now dropping in a bold colorway for spring, dubbed "University Red."

<a href="https://lofficielusa.org/tags/nike">Nike</a> revealed a new <a href="https://lofficielusa.org/tags/sneakers">sneaker</a> in February called the Air Max Dn8. The shoe, with its bauble-y silhouette sole and smooth upper, has quickly become a <a href="https://lofficielusa.org/tags/celebrities">celebrity</a>-favorite, worn by musicians like Central Cee and Tyla, in addition to athletes like Victor Wembanyama. The latest colorway, "University Red," is set to drop March 6.
The <a href="https://lofficielusa.org/tags/shoes">shoe</a>, which retails for $190, has Nike Dynamic Air (the brand's proprietary footwear cushioning) throughout the entire length of the foot. This is in stark contrast to the likes of its <a href="https://www.nike.com/w/air-max-1-shoes-8p4egzy7ok">Air Max 1</a>, for example, which has units in the heel and toe box for support in those specific spots. What does the extended Air unit mean for the Dn8? It leads to a sneaker that can "effectively compress and be way more flexible, delivering a much bouncier, springier sensation," according to Jonathan Kosenick, lead men's sportswear designer at Nike, in a press release.
Nike dropped its debut Air Max Dn8 in a bright pink color, just in time for <a href="https://lofficielusa.org/tags/valentinesday">Valentine's Day</a>. The new "University Red" hue, however, has much bolder energy with its ombr&eacute; look that goes from cherry red to burgundy. For those who opt out of soft hues and spring pastels, these red kicks are perfect for the new season.

&ldquo;When designing the Dn8, we kept thinking about what makes some of our favorite classic Air Max models so great: that you can put them on and go, and no matter what happens over the course of the day, that shoe is not only going to succeed, it&rsquo;s going to exceed expectations,&rdquo; Kosenick added in the press release. &ldquo;We wanted to build a shoe that had the same sort of, &lsquo;go anywhere, do anything&rsquo; character&mdash;an impulsivity, a versatility that will perform under any circumstance."
The latest "University Red" colorway will be available to shop Thursday, March 6 in men's and women's versions on <a href="https://www.nike.com/launch">Snkrs</a>, on <a href="http://nike.com/">Nike's website</a>, and at select retail partners.
