Nike’s latest reincarnation of the Air Max Plus pairs the iconic Nike Tiempo football boot with 1998’s Tuned Air icon, but this crossover is a lot more commonplace than you think.

As part of the 25th Anniversary observance of the model, Nike called on none other than Kylian Mbappe to debut the Mercurial TN — the brand’s most innovative on-field boot inspired by Sean McDowell’s original design. The same cross-pollination of lifestyle icon and football occurs here as an all-leather Air Max Plus is built with contrast stitch uppers in place of the TPU cage above the mesh base, while a white leather Swoosh logo is fixed above. The Tiempo’s extended flap appears, folded down above the laces.

There’s even more Plus meets Pitch coming as well: this Summer, Paris Saint-Germain appears on the Air Max Plus “PSG”, one of many 2024 releases arriving from the partnership that was established in 2019.

As it stands, a release date for the Air Max Plus Tiempo hasn’t been confirmed yet, so stay tuned for additional details as Air Max Day 2024 approaches.
