The third iteration of the Nike Air Max Plus has been making its way back from being a niche go-to sneaker to a technical classic in the brand’s lifestyle rotation. In continuation of the silhouette’s 25th anniversary, the shoe previously released in a stealthy makeover.

Taking inspiration from the previous June release, the Nike Air Max Plus 3 now arrives in a gradient-infused mesh upper. The gradient begins at in a crisp, white tint from the toes and gradually blends to jet-black heels. The dark color is matches the tongue construction, oval laces and Tuned Air soles. The TPU cages are also highlighted in black, as well as the inner lining. To round it all off, the shoe’s underfoot has a nostalgic “Gum” treatment that is synonymous with the archived versions of the silhouette.

Look out for the Nike Air Max Plus 3 “Black/Gum” arriving in the coming months for $190 USD at select retailers and online at Nike.
