Nike hosted the Dolce XOXO exhibition in Milan to showcase work from young creators.

Nike built the Air Max Dolce as a laceless slip-on model for your daily footwear rotation. You wear this shoe without traditional laces, relying on a molded upper covered by a grid overlay cage to secure your foot. The design traces roots back to 1987 when Nike introduced visible heel Air cushioning to athletic tracks and street culture. A visible Air unit in the heel anchors the back of the shoe, keeping the structural shape clean while providing cushioning on concrete surfaces. You style the low profile frame with casual streetwear, track trousers, or structured tailoring.

The Light Magenta colorway arrived on August 22, 2026 for €159.99 through select retailers. The Silver colorway followed on September 12, 2026 at the same price of €159.99. Light Magenta offers an expressive option for your outfit, while the metallic finish on the Silver pair gives your wardrobe an industrial aesthetic. Both options use the same molded upper structure and external cage layout to build the overall profile, giving you two distinct visual choices for daily wear across different seasons.

Nike linked this product release with contemporary youth art through the SNKRS platform and a physical show in Italy. The Dolce XOXO exhibition in Milan featured visual works, structural installations, and interactive digital displays from emerging international creators. Participating artists included Common Index, Luna Mahoux, Sara Sadik, Brennan Wojtyla, Tudor Ciurescu, Hollywood Superstar Review, Forniture Pallotta, Emir Karyo, and Mika Ben Amar. London experimental music duo Rat Section performed live at the venue. The project used digital art, sound, and physical media to give young artists space to explore ideas about identity, technology, and modern fashion culture.
