[Update 28 Sep 2022] The Nike Air Max Scorpion “Lemon Wash” is set to drop in both men’s and women’s sizing on 5 October. Nike’s latest Air Max sneaker has garnered tremendous interest with its in-your-face sole unit that is shaped after the scorpion. The sneaker will be released in five colorways and Lemon Wash is the second colorway to drop, following a Black/Purple colorway.

The Nike Air Max Scorpion FK, the latest sneaker innovation from Nike, is giant in all sense of the word. Its bulbous Air sole unit boasts the most Air in any of the sneaker giant’s offerings. Conceived during lockdown, Nike’s design team turned to digital techniques like 3D VR technology, machine learning and computational design to create an entirely new sneaker in a record-breaking 18 months.

Now, Nike is ready to show the world what it has created. Along with an official release date, the Nike Air Max Scorpion is also getting fresh new colorways for both men and women. On top of the “Phantom” and “Triple Black” colorways unveiled earlier, there are: a Wolf Grey, featuring a Volt Swoosh, a golden “sand”, and a Black/Purple colorway.

The gargantuan Air bubble sole is not the only new Nike innovation on the Air Max Scorpion. Adding to the bounce and comfort of the sole unit is a one-of-a-kind Flyknit “chenille” upper that utilizes recycled short fibers for a snug but cozy fit.

The first Nike Air Max Scorpion will debut on 5 October via Nike SNKRS, while the rest of the pack will drop sequentially. With official images and accompanying style codes, you won’t have to wait too long before you can cop a pair.
