Introducing the Nike Air Max Plus
There are few shoes that have become as iconic as the Nike Air Max Plus. Known for their distinctive design and innovative technology, these sneakers have captured the attention of sneaker enthusiasts and athletes alike.
Nike Air Max Plus sneakers debuted as part of Nike's Air Max line in 1998. The sneakers were created by Sean McDowell and were quickly popular because of their unique aesthetic and advanced cushioning system.
The Air Max Plus Design
It was the breathtaking views of palm trees and sunsets that McDowell witnessed during a Florida trip that inspired the Nike Air Max Plus sneakers. As a result, Air Max Plus has become synonymous with its distinctive gradient colorways.
A standout feature of the Nike Air Max Plus sneakers is their visible Air cushioning. As a result of this technology, Nike is able to provide the wearer with exceptional comfort and support. Multiple Air units are strategically placed in the midsole, providing superior impact protection and responsiveness. Moreover, the Air Max Plus also has tuned Air Technology on their cushioning system that provide targeted support in specific areas of the shoe.
In the Nike Air Max Plus sneakers, mesh overlays are combined with synthetic materials. In addition to ensuring breathability, this design also ensures durability and stability during athletic activities. Additionally, the sneakers have a unique lacing system, which allows for a customised fit and additional support.
The Nike Air Max Plus sneakers have undergone numerous updates and iterations over the years to meet the ever-evolving demands of sneaker enthusiasts. These sneakers have also gained cultural significance through collaborations with renowned artists and designers. It is clear that the Nike Air Max Plus sneakers will continue to shape the future of footwear as they continue to evolve.
Popular Air Max Plus Colorways
Hyper Blue (1998/2018)
One of the OG colorways, the 'Hyper Blue' is still one of the most popular Air Max Plus sneakers of all time.
The combination of a sky-blue upper with black TPU overlays and a striking yellow Swoosh stays fresh even today, and fans can still get their hands on the updated version released in 2018.
Voltage Purple (1998/2018)
The beautiful gradient purple hue on the upper of these sneakers made them an instant classic, and the OG colorway was re-released in 2018 to the delight of many.
The clean-cut colorway, lined with black and emblazoned with an electric orange Swoosh and branding on the tongue, is regarded as one of the best releases ever.
Red Stardust (2017)
This women's exclusive utilised an all-over soft pastel pink hue on the upper, but what made the release truly special was the iridescent accents on the heel panel, mudguard and tongue.
The Swoosh, outlined in a beautiful teal green, added an extra shine to this already out-of-this-world sneaker.
Bleached Aqua (2018)
Another women's only release, the 'Bleached Aqua' featured a stunning deep-sea gradient upper, with fresh white TPU overlays creating a crashing wave effect.
Released in 2018, the sneaker is still in high demand, its oceanic colorway proving a massive hit.
Volcano (2020)
The eye-catching colorway of the 'Volcano', released in 2020, flipped the usual design of the Air Max Plus by decorating the TPU overlays in burning hot red and orange hues, and leaving the knit upper black.
The sneaker has incredible appeal for its striking appearance.
Tiffany (2021)
This 2021 release paid homage to the legendary Nike SB Dunk design from 2005, introduced by Diamond Supply Co.
Treated to that gorgeous, familiar Tiffany blue hue, the upper is finished with shiny metallic Swooshes and clean white lacing, combined with solid black overlays.
Marseille (2023)
Paying homage to Marseille of France, cerulean blue detailing references the Marseille Coat of Arms.
The grey grid pattern is inspired by the city's Velodrome Stadium, while the vibrant blue accents on the TPU panels and lace loops add a welcome burst of colour on the cool colorway.
Supreme x Nike Air Max Plus/TN
Part of Supreme's FW20 collection, the Supreme x Nike TN collab was originally teased in Tokyo-based Them Magazine.
Three colorways were dropped in the collection, featuring striking tie-dye patterns and bold colours. The 2020 release instantly became a classic, and the green/orange and black/pink versions can still be purchased via resell.
