Palace x Nike DN8: Are the Three Colourways Dropping in December 2025?

You heard that right! Palace and Nike are returning with a fresh take on the Air Max DN8 in three colourways. Early previews already hinted at a release that blends skate culture, experimental design and the kind of irreverent charm Palace has sharpened over the years. Now we can take a look at the official images. Rumour has it that the pack is still due for a December 2025 drop.

Here is what we know so far:

A closer Look at the Palace x Nike DN8 Colourways…

As mentioned above, we can expect three different colourways of the Palace x Nike DN8: a ‘Black’ one, ‘Safety Orange’ and ‘Dusty Grey’.

The DN8 silhouette is a relatively young model in the Air Max family, introduced in 2025. The model is known for its dual-chamber Air unit and its streamlined shape, which sits somewhere between a performance runner and a future classic.

In Palace’s hands, the DN8 becomes a little stranger, meant in the best way. It’s a vibe. Colours sit slightly off-centre, textiles feel considered rather than loud, and the whole thing reads like a subtle wink from a brand that knows its audience prefers detail over drama.

The colour gradients on all three colourways are definitely eye-catching, adding to the vibe of the silhouette itself. We see Palace branding placed throughout the design, on the toe box, the tongue, and the insoles, for example. Make sure to check the images for more details.

How about the Drop Date?

We think: when a skate brand can influence a tech-leaning Air Max silhouette, it says something about how blurred genre lines have become.

For Palace, collaborations have always been more than merch. The brand’s history is full of smart, slightly offbeat choices, from its Reebok era to its first steps with Nike in the early 2020s. The last hit we saw was the Nike Total 90 capsule in November 2025. Each project from the brand has been a way to refract its London skate roots through a global lens.

The Palace x Nike DN8 pack might still drop in 2025. Official information on that is not yet out. Just make sure to keep an eye on our release calendar so you don’t miss out.
