Nike’s fan-favorite Air Max Goadome boot received a new low-top update in February and now, the revamped outdoors shoe is getting yet another modification for the summer.
On the surface, the latest changes to the Air Max Goadome Low SP are subtle. There’s some new metal hardware and an elastic quick-lace system, which replaces the thicker, rope-style laces seen on the debut Air Max Goadome Low styles. Seemingly coated in an all-black leather, Nike’s official product description reveals there could be more than meets the eye with this new offering.

“Beneath the black surface, special graphics are revealed as you wear ’em,” states Nike’s Snkrs description. Despite this, the brand did not include images of the graphics after being worn away, although the sneaker’s colorway provides a hint at what’s underneath.
With a Black/Pale Lemon color combination, it’s likely that the blacked-out upper will wear away to reveal a washed-out yellow shade beneath. Unlike some of Nike’s wear-away sneakers, where traces of the hidden color can be detected at the edges of the shoe’s panels, there isn’t any clear indication on this pair as to what will be revealed over time.
Nike has applied the wear-away effect to countless sneaker styles over the years with notable examples being 2014 and 2019’s Nike SB x Air Jordan 1s and G-Dragon’s “Para-noise” Peaceminusone Air Force 1 collaborations. In addition to the wear-away treatment, the Beaverton, Ore.-based sportswear company has also issued several tear-away fabric sneakers beginning with 2003’s Vandal Supremes designed by artist Geoff McFetridge.
The latest Nike Air Max Goadome Low SP is set for a June 1 launch in select markets, which means a U.S. release should take place around the same time. Retail pricing of $175 is expected from Nike’s Snkrs app and select Nike Sportswear retailers. The style code for the new release is IR2173-001. A full detailed look at the new release appears below.
