The Nike Air Max Dolce "Old Royal" Releases Fall/Winter 2026

Nike is expanding the Air Max Dolce lineup with a near-monochromatic take for Fall/Winter 2026. The "Old Royal" colorway leans into the silhouette's unconventional molded construction by stripping away the distraction of multiple colors, letting the shoe's sculptural shape carry the visual weight instead.

Old Royal blue runs across the textile upper, tongue, and sculpted side panels from top to bottom. In place of a traditional lace setup, a flexible grid stretches over the forefoot and wraps up toward the tongue, reinforcing the model's futuristic build. Additional molded detailing lines the sides, and a glossy piece at the heel lands a small Swoosh hit. Black trims the collar, giving the bright blue upper just enough separation to define its edges. Below, a black midsole houses a large visible Air unit at the heel, while the black outsole picks up small Old Royal sections through the tread. Inside, a grid graphic on the insoles is paired with Air Max Dolce branding.
