Dust off your favorite hoodie, start pulling out the jackets. For some, it’s the time of year when you can really begin layering, and for Nike, it’s high time to begin the material makeovers of its foremost icons.

Following heavy doses of GORE-Tex throughout the catalog and a rejuvenated push behind their earnest boot styles, Cordura is again showing to be one of the Swoosh’s best tools in its arsenal to retrofit lifestyle into season-ready performance. The Air Max Plus has been a steady presence on city streets and store shelves for years now, so it’s only right that it gets in on that action. The Nike Air Max Plus Cordura, last visited around this time in 2025, now suits up in a sleek all-black, creating some unexpected synergy with the Tn and Cordura branding by leaving those subtle touches as the only pops of color.

This Cordura Nike Air Max Plus is likely dropping as part of the Holiday 2026 slight, expected to carry a slight premium above the usual $190 sticker price.
