Nike SB Layers Three Rich Hues for the Air Max Ishod “Grand Purple”

by

The Nike SB Air Max Ishod in the “Grand Purple” colorway will be released on May 1, 2026. It features a grand purple, noble purple, gravity purple, and black color scheme and will retail for $115 USD. You can purchase them directly from Nike. The product SKU is IR1887-500.

Skate shoes are increasingly vibrant and stylish, but still built to perform, and Nike SB’s newest release proves it. The Nike SB Air Max Ishod, designed with pro skater Ishod Wair, is getting a fresh, purple makeover. This new colorway combines a cool look with the tough construction skaters need, making it ideal for both skating and everyday wear.

The design’s appeal comes from its skillful use of layered colors. Instead of just one solid color, the shoe features a blend of three different purples. Deeper shades are used on the lower parts, like the mudguard, while lighter purples brighten up areas like the laces, collar, and toe, creating a sense of depth.

The shoe features a dark, stylish upper, balanced by a breathable white mesh tongue for lightweight comfort. Bright lavender laces and a cushioned tongue lining add a pop of color and extra comfort. Black Nike Swooshes and heel details keep the look grounded, while subtle embroidered “AIR” lettering adds a technical detail that’s characteristic of this design.

The sneaker features a comfortable sole that’s mostly black, with visible Air Max cushioning in the heel for extra comfort. A small, icy blue detail on the back of the sole adds a cool pop of color that nicely complements the predominantly purple design of the shoe.

If you’re a skater or sneaker fan wanting some vibrant new shoes this summer, the Nike SB Air Max Ishod in ‘Grand Purple’ is a great choice. It combines a comfortable feel with a supportive design. Look for it to release in Summer 2026 at Nike stores and select skate shops for $115.
