Nike Retools the Air Max Plus in Ripstop for Winter

Nike's Air Max Plus is set for a significant transformation catered towards winter exploration, with a retooled version set to hit shelves in a handful of colorways this season.

Anchored by a winter-read ripstop material, the pair is poised for durability, but also offers resistance against harsh winter elements, making it ideal for outdoor adventures. Complementing the ripstop uppers are double-layered, thick-cut nubuck overlays, adding robustness and a touch of rugged style to the design. Further emphasizing its suitability for winter trails, the sneaker includes woven hemp mudguards and heel wraps. These materials contribute to the sneaker's durability and add an element of natural texture, aligning with the outdoor-inspired theme. A plush mesh tongue sits beneath a newly integrated toggle lacing system, making it more convenient and efficient for wearers to secure their fit in challenging conditions.

Underneath, the sneaker is equipped with a washed-look finish on the sole, adding an aesthetic detail that complements the rugged design. The sole is anchored by a sturdy gum rubber outsole, providing superior traction to your standard black rubber undercarriage.

This Nike Air Max Plus is expected to arrive on Nike.com on February 12, 2024, for $180.
