A new colorway for Sean McDowell’s coveted-Nike Air Max Plus has surfaced, just in time for the warmer months. The latest release sees the technical-focused shoe take design notes from Drake‘s NOCTA x Nike Basketball collection which saw performance pieces arrive in purple, yellow and fuchsia gradients to match the thermographic camera.

The Nike Air Max Plus is constructed with its usual mesh and leather build, featuring its essential plastic toe cap. The purple fuchsia gradient starts from the heel and slowly transitions to a muted yellow. The same pattern is seen on the midsole guard, while the Swoosh is highlighted in yellow to contrast the purple. The shoe’s upper is covered in 3M Reflective tongues that sit atop a white and black rubber sole to round out the design.

Look out for the new pair of Nike Air Max Plus arriving later this year for $175 USD in select retailers and on Nike.
