NYC Sneaker Drop: Nike Air Max Joga Bonito "Black/Medium Fuchsia" Arrives Nov. 12

Nike is releasing a new colorway of its Air Max Joga Bonito on November 12: Black/Medium Fuchsia, priced at $180. It will be sold through select retailers, including Sneaker Politics and Shiekh.

The Joga Bonito is a hybrid. Its upper takes cues from the Mercurial football boot, while the sole comes from the Air Max 95. The 95's layered paneling carries over, and a long, swooping Swoosh runs across it, lifted from the boot the model draws on.

This pair is finished in a leather material rather than the usual mesh, so the panels read as a single surface. Color is kept to a minimum. Orange glows through the forefoot Air units, and fuchsia at the heel is the only color on the shoe.

The spec list covers a leather upper, synthetic overlays, Air cushioning, a foam midsole and a rubber outsole. The color is listed as Black/Medium Fuchsia/Gridiron, the style code is IV3471-001, and sizing is US men's.

Sneaker Politics lists the release for November 12, 2026, at 9:00 AM CST. Orders ship within 72 hours on weekdays. Release-date products are final sale and can't be returned for a refund, store credit or size exchange.

For Air Max fans who like a football-boot twist, this darker take is a quiet but distinctive option for the cold months.
