The release of a new, yet staple colorway finds its way to the Nike Air VaporMax Plus.

Coming in the unmistakably classic Varsity Red and White, this simple dual-tone sneaker is one of many VaporMax renditions Nike has released over the years. The shoe is dressed in a clean, crisp white, neoprene constructed upper. Its leather heel and signature plastic overlays seen on the toe and side panels are also in white to blend into the pristine snow-white upper. The shoe is accented with University Red, the only other color visible on the entire outer sole unit, branding, inner liner, and heel pull tabs. To finish it off, the translucent VaporMax sole not only adds a retro look to the shoe but includes a subtly embossed Swoosh logo on the bottom.

Fans will have to wait for the official release date in-store and online at Nike but, can expect the Nike Air VaporMax Plus to retail at $200 USD.

In case you missed it, Vans pay tribute to Where’s Waldo.
