The Nike Air Max Plus Utility Returns in Navy Blue

As the Fall season unfolds, it's clear that toggle lacing systems are here to stay, with the Air Max Plus Utility joining Nike's lineup of tug-to-tighten silhouettes.

At first glance, you might think this pair is all about the classic triple-black look, but it's in fact navy that inks this entirety of the design.

While the color blocking may seem mundane, the Air Max Plus Utility sets itself apart with its unique materials and practical touches.

One of the standout features is the cross-over lacing system that extends down to the mudguard, creating a distinct visual element that's both functional and stylish. The lacing is anchored at the tongue's tip with a toggle lock, ensuring a secure fit for all-day comfort.

The modified mesh upper houses a reflective underlayer, adding a touch of visibility and safety to your stride. The signature vein overlays of the Air Max Plus are reimagined with a subtle glazed-on print, offering a fresh take on a classic design.

Further enhancements can be found on the suede guards, heel overlays, and tongue tips, adding texture and depth to the silhouette. And if you look closely, you'll notice a notably larger Swoosh gracing the midfoot, providing the finishing touch to this sleek and functional design.

An official release date for this new Air Max Plus Utility is unknown, but you should expect it to sneak into select retailers and Nike.com in the coming months.
