The Next Air Max Plus Proffers a Blue, Black and Burgundy Build
A far cry from its traditional electrifying colors and textures, Nike presents its latest entrant to the illustrious Air Max Plus lineage in a subdues blue, black, and burgundy palette that is both atmospheric and grounded.
Transitioning from black to a muted sky blue across its mesh construction, the gradient effect is reminiscent of twilight skies, where the dark night gradually gives way to the first light of dawn.
Adding depth and a sense of motion to the design, black cage overlays sweep across the upper, converging towards the mudguards, and toe/heel caps. These black elements serve to frame the ethereal blue and add a level of urban edge to the design.
As a contrast that is both striking and unexpected, burgundy branding adorns the profile Swoosh and tongues. This rich shade of burgundy is a nod to the last rays of sunset, adding a layer of warmth and intrigue to the palette.
The stowed Air supports echo the burgundy hue, harmonizing with the branding and bringing unity to the design while still honoring the distinctiveness of the Air Max Plus silhouette.
Completing the design is a crisp white midsole that adds a sense of purity and contrast to the rich colors of the upper. This is complemented by a muted blue rubber outsole, bringing the concept full circle.
