Waves Crash On The Nike Air Max Plus “Dusty Cactus”

Tone-on-white kicks have long been a true staple of the summer, and as we work through some of the season’s biggest releases like the Jordan 4 Oxidized Green and Jordan 11 Low Legend Pink, even silhouettes from all over the Swoosh catalog are taking to the concept. The always expressive Nike Air Max Plus is the latest to get in on some seasonal attire, cooking up a marine life colorway in “Dusty Cactus.”

As many successful Air Max Plus colorways in the past have, this edition stays close to the model’s tropical roots. Again embracing aquatic themes, the gradient evokes the middle of the ocean, reflecting calm seas with “Dusty Cactus” at the midfoot before delving deeper as it works towards dark teal at the rear. That tri-tone ombre is reflected on the TPU panel in the center of the midsole, adding some more thematic ties in the margins. With the white foundation this pair builds upon, it’s a truly vacation-minded colorway, but would serve as a perfect accompaniment no matter where your summer takes you.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Dusty Cactus” is expected to release in the coming weeks, arriving in women’s sizing and retailing for $180. Enjoy official images via the gallery just ahead.
