MSRP: $180 USD
Release Date: June 13, 2025
Where to Buy: Nike

Nike has unveiled a bold reimagining of the iconic Air Max Plus TN, cloaked in black and crimson — fit for an aspiring Sith Lord. Channeling the essence of Darth Vader, the shoe features a dramatic gradient from black to red across the mesh toe box and toungue, while black laces weave into the bright red eyelets creating a striking contrast. Sleek, glossy accents slash across the otherwise matte silhouette, reminiscent of Darth Maul’s Zabrak markings and battle-worn tattoos.

A true homage to the dark side — but even villains need comfort. Equipped with Nike’s signature Tuned Air (TN) technology, the shoe offers air-cushioned support and rock-solid stability, perfect for everything from an intergalactic duel to a casual stroll through the galaxy.
