Nike continues to adorn its popular Air Max Plus silhouette in a striking array of renditions. The latest makeup, titled “Le Requin” or “The Shark,” is perhaps the most menacing one yet. The low-top sneaker boasts black and white options alongside eye-catching, jagged line motifs swathed across their respective uppers. Not to mention, the tongue tags boast circle graphics appearing to bite down on the iconic Swoosh logo. To finish it off, reflective detailing is equipped throughout the shoe for a dramatic effect when worn in dim lighting.

While both colorways released in Europe on March 8, you can expect them to hit Stateside Foot Lockers sometime later this month. For a more pared-down iteration, check out the Air Max Plus “Black/Metallic Silver” makeup.
