By virtue of its everlasting popularity in Australia and England, the Air Max Plus is among a select few Nike silhouettes we can never see getting discontinued, continuing to surface in myriad new styles season after season. 2026 is already shaping up to be a strong year for the model, headlined by a Doernbecher edition as well as an upcoming One Piece collection we’re eager to see materialize.

In the meantime, Nike is treating women to a “Peony” style featuring a subtle yet noticeable upgrade – taken with multiple crystal stud accents on the top and center of the tongue. The upper sticks to established TN tradition with a light-to-dark gradient, while the Swoosh border and midfoot plate both come in Metallic Silver. The rest of the sneaker cleans up in black for contrast, completing a look that’s already been revisited multiple times over the past few seasons.

The Air Max Plus “Peony” drops Spring 2026 in women’s sizing, meaning sometime between now and the end of March. Retail is set at $210 due to the hardware upgrades. See official images below if you’re considering copping.

In other Nike news, the viral Nike Mind 001 is starting to surface in new colorways.
