As the world turns its eyes towards the Paris Games in 2024, Nike is gearing up to celebrate this monumental event by re-releasing the Nike Air VaporMax Plus in the iconic "Olympic" colorway. This revival pays homage not only to the upcoming games but also to a legacy of athletic excellence and sneaker culture that dates back decades.
The "Olympic" colorway holds a special place in the hearts of sneaker enthusiasts, having first captured the imagination on the feet of the Dream Team during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The striking combination of red, navy blue, and metallic gold became more than just a color scheme; it became a symbol of the USA's sporting prowess and a beacon for sneakerheads around the globe. Over the years, this colorway has graced several timeless Nike classics, including the Air Jordan 7, the Air Force 180, and the Air Flight Lite, cementing its place in sneaker history.
In 2019, the "Olympic" VaporMax Plus debuted, adorning the silhouette with the iconic trio of colors. The navy filled the neoprene upper and cage overlay, while metallic gold accentuated the midfoot shank and Swoosh branding. A vibrant red took center stage on the bare-naked VaporMax sole unit, creating a bold statement that resonated with fans and collectors alike.
As we approach 2024, the return of the Nike Air VaporMax Plus "Olympic" is poised to reignite passions and celebrate the spirit of competition that the Paris Games epitomize.
Expect these VaporMaxes to release on Nike on March 29th, 2024.
