While the Air Max Plus might be stealing the spotlight for Air Max Day 2024, there’s another contender in the ring that shouldn’t be ignored – the Nike Air Max Plus Drift. This fresh reimagining of the first-ever Tuned Air sneaker has been generating excitement since its reveal, and now that it’s officially available, new colorways are emerging that promise to be a summer hit.
One such upcoming release caters specifically to women, featuring a calming “Ashen Slate” blue as the base color. This hue might ring a bell for sneakerheads who remember the launch of Devin Booker’s Nike Book 1 during All-Star Weekend. However, the Ashen Slate’s soft, bluish-grey tone has become a familiar presence in Nike Sportswear’s offerings for several seasons now.
The beauty of the “Ashen Slate” Air Max Plus Drift lies in its color contrast. Nike skillfully pairs the muted blue base with a clean “Summit White” on the upper, creating a refreshing and summer-ready aesthetic. The result is a shoe that’s both visually interesting and effortlessly stylish.
For those seeking a more understated take on the classic Air Max Plus design, the “Ashen Slate” Drift is a perfect choice. The combination of soft tones avoids being overly flashy while still maintaining a distinctive look. This colorway is ideal for pairing with a variety of outfits, making it a versatile addition to any summer wardrobe.
Functionally, the Air Max Plus Drift retains the DNA of its predecessor. The visible Tuned Air unit in the sole ensures exceptional cushioning, while the signature wavy design lines and TPU shank provide a supportive and comfortable fit.
The “Ashen Slate” Nike Air Max Plus Drift is slated for a release soon at Nike.com and select Swoosh retailers, with a price tag of $185.
