Air Max Day may be over, but the iconic Nike Air Max Plus isn’t slowing down. While its close cousin, the Air Max Plus Drift, has grabbed some headlines in 2024, the classic Air Max Plus is back with a vengeance, sporting a stunning new “Battle Blue” color scheme.
For footwear enthusiasts, the Air Max Plus “Battle Blue” is a breath of fresh air. The design cleverly references the open skies that served as inspiration for the Air Max Plus silhouette all those years ago. A smooth gradient transitions the mesh upper from a bold “Battle Blue” to a calming “Blue Glaze,” perfectly mimicking a clear summer day. This vibrant duo is then encased in a crisp white cage, offering a touch of cloud cover. But look closer, and you’ll find a sunny surprise: the outsole boasts subtle yellow accents, subtly hinting at the rays breaking through the clouds.
The Air Max Plus “Battle Blue” stays true to the line’s legacy of comfort and functionality. The shoe features the same well-loved construction, with a synthetic and textile upper for breathability and a comfortable foam midsole that houses the signature visible Air Max cushioning unit. This combination ensures a lightweight, supportive ride that’s perfect for everyday wear.
The Nike Air Max Plus “Battle Blue” has already hit shelves at select retailers, carrying its familiar $180 price tag. A wider release on Nike.com is expected soon.
