Nike's next Air Max Dolce isn't like the other releases we've seen before. The newest pairs are uncaged, wild, and, dare I say, even dressier.

Seriously. It swapped the signature cage for slick pink croc-skin leather uppers, stitched up to create an even more genuine formal-shoe feel.

Of course, the Air-supported heels remain in place. The Air Max Dolce just looks more like a super-luxe Air Max moc now.

And like it or not, there's more where that came from. Nike previewed other moc-style Air Max Dolce sneakers during Paris Fashion Week in June, including a black croc-skin version and smooth leather options. The brand also revealed square-toe Air Forces and scaly Air Max Goadome Lows.

We weren't expecting any of these shoes until 2027, but I guess Christmas has come early at Nike.

Right now, the pink croc Air Max Dolce Leather sneakers are available on Invincible's website for Rp 2.489.000, or around $140. It's safe to assume a wider release isn't too far off.
