Jovani Hernandez The Nike Air Max Plus may not be the most popular visible Air-cushioning model in the Swoosh’s catalog, but it’s historical importance cannot go unnoticed.
Designed by Sean McDowell as a Foot Locker-exclusive in 1998, the silhouette introduced new gradient finishes and Tuned Air-cushioning to Nike’s running sneaker roster. For its latest proposition, the U.K.-favorite harkens back to its inaugural “Magma” release by donning a sunset-reminiscent gradient across its mesh upper. Hits of orange, yellow and white recreate the natural event, while surrounding black TPU overlays and sole unit components balance out the eye-catching arrangement. Yet, profile swooshes and badges on the top of the tongue further animate the Air Max-variant with their neon green flair. Together, each aforementioned component creates a style sure to turn heads.
No firm Nike.com release date has been disclosed by the brand, but that’s likely to change in the coming months. In the meantime, enjoy official images of the sneakers ahead.
