If you somehow thought that Undefeated had fallen out of favor as an S-tier collaborator for Nike, Inc., 2025 served up serious confirmation of the contrary. The Los Angeles label bracketed the return of their grail-level Jordan 4 with two Swoosh link-ups, taking on the Spiridon and the Air Max 95 for a total of ten individual SKUs. That momentum is already branching into next year, as word of a potential UNDEFEATED x Nike Air Tuned Max comes down.

The Nike Air Tuned Max last returned to shelves in 2021, the first retro treatment for the Alpha Project product. This latest bring-back comes amid a spree of Alpha Project returns, including the Air Max Sunder and Shox R4 in the lifestyle space, along with the Flightposite III and Shox BB4 in basketball. That 2021 run eventually resulted in just under a dozen colorways, both novel and original, hitting the market anew, including the silhouette’s most impactful colorway in its “Celery.” While not an immediate one, no doubt Skepta’s work on the Air Max 97 that referenced that design had an influence in foregrounding the late 90s curio.

Little info regarding what UNDEFEATED will bring to the model is available at the time of writing, outside of simply this collab’s existence on a base level. We’ll keep you in the loop as any additional info comes to light.
