The Air Afrique x Nike Air Max RK61 will be released on October 9, 2025. Launching in two colorways, consisting of “Black” and “Beige” (Coconut Milk). The retail price is $210 each.
Nike is connecting with Air Afrique, a Paris-based creative collective, to debut the Air Max RK61. The model is a dress shoe that fuses Air Max technology. The model is named after the original Air Afrique airline’s flight code, RK, and its founding year, 1961. Two initial colorways will be available in October 2025.
One colorway comes highlighted in Black, while the other is dubbed “Beige,” but features Coconut Milk throughout. The inspiration for the build comes from the Air Max SNDR and moccasins. What’s unique about the model is that the Air Max unit is inspired by a jet engine, Morse code that spells “Air Afrique” on the outsole, and a zipper pull featuring the original airline logo. It also comes with a jacquard liner, a nod to vintage aircraft seats.
