Name: Nike Air Max Dolce “Electric Blue”
Colorway: Old Royal/Black-Old Royal
SKU: IB4527-400
MSRP: $170 USD
Release Date: Fall/Winter 2026

Nike‘s Air Max Dolce returns for another general-release run, this time drenched in a bold “Electric Blue” finish that covers almost the whole shoe. The loafer-meets-sneaker silhouette leans into a straightforward color story that puts the vibrant upper front and center.

The Dolce’s appeal starts with its unusual build, a hybrid that borrows the low, slip-ready profile of a loafer and grafts it onto Air Max cushioning. That blend makes for a fairly involved construction, which is likely why Nike keeps the palette uncomplicated here. The bright blue runs across essentially the entire exterior, letting the silhouette’s shape do the heavy lifting rather than layering in extra contrast panels.

Balancing out the saturated upper, the inner lining and the platform underneath both land in black. The result is a clean two-part split that reins in the intensity of the blue and gives the shoe a defined base. It’s a restrained approach to color blocking, and given the model’s complex layout, there’s a decent chance Nike carries the same simple formula across the rest of this release cycle.
