Earlier this year, Nike paid homage to the “Light Photography” trend with a fiery iteration for the Air Max Plus. Now, the shoe is going for a cooler hue, arriving in a royal blue iteration.

The all-new royal blue edition of the Nike Air Max Plus “Light Photography” arrives in a palette made up of old royal, black, varsity royal and ice blue. The shoe’s upper is a graphic that elegantly mimics the silhouette’s signature TPU overlays. The shoe features a black plastic toe cap, a glossy patent leather tongue and heel counter. The Swoosh is also outlined in black while the laces are contrasted in white. It sits atop a white midsole and black rubber outsole and Air Max sole.

Look out for the upcoming Nike Air Max Plus “Light Photography” in royal blue arriving later this year at select retailers and online at Nike for $175 USD.

In other footwear news, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 arrives in “Plum Eclipse.”
