Nike Air Max 2017 'Anthracite'

Anthracite. The Air Max 2017 at Its Most Wearable.

The Nike Air Max 2017 in 'Anthracite' brings the Air Max 2017's full-length Air cushioning platform — one of the largest Air units Nike has ever put into a running shoe — in the colorway that makes the shoe's technical construction its most seasonally versatile and wardrobe-compatible: anthracite, the deep, near-black dark grey that reads as the darkest possible neutral without committing fully to black.

Style number 849559-001.

The Air Max 2017: Maximum Air, Maximum Coverage

The Nike Air Max 2017 represents the full-length Air Max cushioning concept at its most expansive — a heel-to-toe Air unit that provides cushioning across the entire underfoot surface rather than only in the heel or forefoot zones where most running shoes concentrate their cushioning technology. The 2017 midsole's large, visible Air unit is among the most substantial Nike has produced in a running shoe, providing a level of impact protection and energy return across the full stride that smaller Air units can't match. Combined with the shoe's engineered mesh upper and supportive overlays, the Air Max 2017 is the Air Max platform built for serious running mileage — a running-first shoe that carries the Air Max's lifestyle credentials as a secondary quality.

What You're Getting

• Upper: Anthracite engineered mesh and synthetic overlay construction — the dark, near-black grey applied to the 2017's breathable running upper in a colorway that hides the wear patterns of actual running while maintaining a clean appearance
• Full-Length Air Unit: Nike Air cushioning from heel to toe — one of the largest and most expansive Air units in the Air Max line, providing impact protection and energy return across the complete running stride
• Anthracite Colorway: The deep, near-black dark grey throughout — the darkest possible neutral that reads as versatile and wearable in every context from running to street without the formality of pure black
• Engineered Mesh: Running-specific breathable mesh upper for ventilation and support across training and extended wear
• Rubber Outsole: Full-coverage rubber outsole with running traction pattern in complementary dark tones
• Style Code: 849559-001

How to Wear 'Anthracite'

The anthracite Air Max 2017 is the running shoe that transitions most cleanly from the road to the rest of the day — the dark colorway hides the grime and wear of actual running better than lighter colorways while reading as clean and intentional in the lifestyle context. Black fits create a tonal dark combination that makes the shoe read as a deliberate aesthetic choice. Grey fits create a tonal neutral look that foregrounds the 2017's technical construction. White and light fits give the anthracite its maximum contrast and let the large Air unit read most clearly. The anthracite 2017 is the Air Max for those who run in their Air Max and want the shoe to look clean when they stop.
