The Palace x Nike DN8 is the centerpiece footwear release from Palace Skateboards and Nike for Holiday 2025 Drop 3. The collaboration introduces the Nike Air Max DN8 in multiple co-branded colorways that combine skate culture styling with Nike performance construction. The sneaker features layered synthetic uppers, visible Dynamic Air cushioning across the sole, and Palace branding applied to the tongue, heel, and insole. The release is positioned as part of a broader seasonal capsule rather than a standalone footwear drop.
The Holiday 2025 Drop 3 collection also includes coordinated apparel designed to complement the sneaker launch. The lineup features graphic outerwear, hoodies, technical track pieces, and accessories that follow Palace’s seasonal visual language. Materials prioritize durability and cold-weather utility while maintaining skatewear proportions. The drop continues Palace and Nike’s multi-season partnership by extending co-branded design across both footwear and apparel within a unified retail release.
