Palace x Nike Cryoshot Air Speed M 'England'

Description:

The Nike Cryoshot Air Speed M Palace reimagines a classic football boot through the creative lens of London-based skate label Palace. Created as part of Nike’s X2 World Cup Cryoshot collection, the collaboration represents England by transforming the archival Air Speed M into a lifestyle-ready sneaker while preserving key elements of its original football identity.

The late-1980s-inspired silhouette features a premium Black leather upper contrasted by White Swooshes and Crimson accents that reference England’s national colors. A semi-transparent TPU collar provides additional structure, while Palace branding appears on the tongue and heel alongside co-branded insoles. The most distinctive feature is the transparent, injection-molded TPU cage beneath the shoe, which preserves the original stud configuration in visible form while adapting the outsole for use on everyday surfaces.

Nike’s Cryoshot concept was created to transform historic football boots into modern lifestyle footwear without completely hiding their original construction. By keeping the archival outsole geometry visible beneath the translucent cage, the Air Speed M Palace functions both as a wearable sneaker and as a tribute to football footwear history. The collaboration brings together Palace’s skateboarding influence, Nike’s football heritage, and an experimental approach to sneaker construction.
