WHERE TO BUY
Original article published October 8th, 2020: The Nike VaporMax Plus is no longer the latest silhouette to boast the Swoosh’s modern-day visible Air cushioning, but it remains one of the most popular hybrid models from the North American institution. Its latest iteration deviates from the vibrant gradients seen on recent iterations in favor of an understated “Midnight Navy” ensemble.
Unlike a previous pair clad in “Light Bone,” the forthcoming Air Max Plus-descendent opts for a tonal arrangement across both its fabric base and TPU overlays. The latter boasts a glossy finish, but it doesn’t detract from the upper’s muted makeup. Reflective accents running from toe box to tongue indulge in a “Silver” tone that also animates branding throughout the VaporMax option. “White” joins the mix at the pull tabs on the heel and at the midsole tooling, although the titular dark blue hue rounds out the pair by taking over the plump Air unit underfoot.
Enjoy official images of this VaporMax Plus here below, and expect pairs to launch quietly on Nike.com before 2020 ends.
