Nike’s Crisp Air Max Sandal Is a Denim Paradise
It turns out, Nike has another denim Air Max sandal out there.
We already met the OG denim Air Max Koko sandal, which debuted in 2024 and returned for the summer 2026 season. Now, Nike's giving its Air Max Isla sandal the same crisp makeover just in time for the warmer weather.
The sportswear brand decks out the Isla with denim straps, realizing the signature padded leather uppers with the classic material. But it isn't all denim. Nike saves a smidgen of buttery leather for the heel strap, which is also stamped with a shiny silver Swoosh logo (just a reminder that Nike was here).
Of course, no Isla sandal, let alone any sneaker-minded Air Max sandal, for that matter, is complete without its chunky soles maxing out on Nike Air technology. For these new denim versions, the platform bases get dressed in a beautiful cream color, a perfect complement to the "Worn Blue" scheme.
For those looking to expand their beefy Air Max sandal collection, the denim Air Max Isla is now up for grabs on Nike Japan's website for roughly $100.
It seems Nike is on a quest to denim-ify not only its most classic sneakers but also its sneaker-coded sandals. Hopefully, the newbie Air Max Halo is next up for a denim treatment.
