Nike Air Liquid Max Black Metallic Silver Light Army
The Nike Air Liquid Max Black Metallic Silver Light Army with style code IQ7635-002 is one of the first follow-ups to the newest member of the Air Max family. The Air Liquid Max debuted on Air Max Day, 26 March 2026, not as a retro but as a new concept: instead of one continuous Air chamber, the midsole uses point-loaded Air pods placed only where the foot puts pressure, with hollowed-out negative space between them for a lighter, more fluid ride. A drop-in Cushlon midsole sits on top of that Air system, which is why Nike calls it one of its most comfortable Air Max models to date. This colourway swaps the launch model's textured nanoprint upper for a new textile build with wavy linework, giving the futuristic silhouette a darker, more wearable look.
Colorway: Black / Metallic Silver / Light Army
The Nike Air Liquid Max Black Metallic Silver Light Army is built on a black, low-profile upper in mesh and textile that replaces the rubbery, frog-skin-inspired texture of the original. Concentric wavy lines in Metallic Silver run along both sides and around the toe like a topographic map, and the chrome-like Swooshes pick up the same metallic tone. Beneath the upper, a Light Army green midsole wraps the Cushlon foam, while the visible Air pods underneath are finished in Total Orange, so every step shows a flash of colour against the dark upper. Pure Platinum accents round out the six-colour palette listed by Nike. The combination of black, army green and orange gives style code IQ7635-002 a technical, almost military feel that pairs well with cargos, nylon track pants and oversized outerwear.
How does the Nike Air Liquid Max Black Metallic Silver Light Army fit?
The Nike Air Liquid Max Black Metallic Silver Light Army fits true to size, so take your usual Nike men's size. The low-cut textile upper gives a secure fit that moves with your stride, and the toe box leaves enough room without feeling loose. Note that the tongue is on the short side. Underfoot, the Cushlon midsole on top of the point-loaded Air pods delivers soft, smooth cushioning that stays comfortable all day, with a flexible feel thanks to the open spaces between the pods.
