The Nike Air Vapormax Plus Will Feature Gradient Uppers Just Like The Original

Sean McDowell, the designer of the Air Max Plus from 1998, was inspired by a breathtaking ocean sunset – one that faded from a light sky blue to a darker tone at dusk. Since then, the Air Max Plus has become recognizable for its tone-to-tone gradient, making for some of the most attractive colors in the history of the brand. For the upcoming Air Vapormax Plus, Nike is keeping the color gradient look with the debut releases coming on January 25th. This edition expands on the original colorway of the Air Max Plus, bringing in the dark red shades of the sunset onto the upper. Expect these next week for $190.
