Following the official reveal of the “University Red” colorway, Nike is preparing a calming gradient edition of the Air Max Plus reminiscent of summertime sunsets.

The sneaker is presented with a vibrant fabric upper that promotes breathability and functionality at every step. Boasting a yellow-to-pink palette, a synthetic leather perimeter wraps around its entirety, while semi-translucent mudguard strips give the wearer increased protection. The silhouette’s recognizable black plastic fingers melt into the upper taking inspiration from soothing ocean waves. Orange Swooshes pop off the medials, while black leather tongues feature yellow Nike Air branding, which is also reflected at the rears with TN additions.

Gradient plastic arches introduce further radiant decor to the sole units, complete with a white mold and a yellow-tinted interior Air bed.

Take a closer look at the sneaker in the gallery above, and expect this edition of the Nike Air Max Plus to hit retailers later this year for $160 USD.

In case you missed it, here is everything that’s dropping at Palace this week.
