The Nike Air Max Plus Appears in "Ashen Slate" and "Light Armory Blue"

Following a stellar partnership with Patta and F.C. Barcelona, Sean McDowell's renowned Air Max Plus design continues to deliver the goods for its 25th-anniversary bash. Te newest iteration of this classic stands out in a harmonious blend of “Ashen Slate” and"Armoy Blue," adorning everything from its breathable mesh underlayer to the dynamic TPU sidings. A salute to its inception, the Air Max Plus, a pioneer in showcasing the Tuned Air tech, has always embraced the allure of striking blue gradients.

McDowell’s athletic marvel, which has seamlessly transitioned into a lifestyle favorite, has been reinvented with numerous finishes. Still, vibrant, transformative colors hold a special place in the heart of both seasoned sneakerheads and budding enthusiasts. Interestingly, the all-black edition of this shoe has garnered a cult-like following, especially in regions like the U.K. and Australia. The “Ashen Slate” highlights, while subtler than the usual Air Max Plus flair, nod to the design’s iconic palm tree-esque waves and the distinctive whale tail-esque arches. The cerulean charm extends to the Air Max cushioning and rearfoot Tuned Air bubbles, juxtaposed with pristine “Summit White” details.

Enjoy an official look at the pair below, and look for these to be released on Nike.com come December 11 for $180.
