Original article published July 21st, 2026:

We recently reported that Supreme will deliver the first-ever re-release of the Nike Air Max 2000 in 2026, reviving an Alpha Project relic more than a quarter century after its debut. We’re now happy to report that the collaboration won’t be a one-off, but rather the beginning of the model’s first proper retro run.

Official retailer images now reveal an Air Max 2000 “Triple Black” colorway for Fall 2026, a sensible choice for reintroducing a long-archived silhouette to the broader market. The Air Max 2000 emerged from Nike’s iconic Alpha Project initiative alongside futuristic, boundary-pushing models like the Huarache 2K4, Shox BB4, and Flightposite, all of which have returned to shelves amid renewed interest in Y2K-era footwear.

The upper features full-length TPU detailing over a tight mesh foundation, joined by a ribbed spine, extended toe protection, and a distinctive rubber structure at the base of the lacing system. Visible Air cushioning anchors the midsole, while the Alpha Project connection is made clear through the five-dot logo on the lateral side. We’ve also got a mini Swoosh on the lateral side of the toe, a new element not seen during the model’s original run.

The Nike Air Max 2000 “Triple Black” is expected to release Fall 2026 through Nike and select retailers. No MSRP has been announced as of this writing, though a retail price somewhere between $150 and $200 seems likely. See the official retailer images below for a closer look.
