Nike adds a sleek new update to the signature Air Max Plus 3 sneaker model with an all-black colorway palette. It is made using a blend of materials as it starts with black mesh and leather throughout the upper. It is detailed with a double Swoosh emblem on the side of the shoe.
It is detailed in a spray-paint application, which allows it to look like it is blending in together. The iconic 'TN' branding is deen accenting the tongue, as well as the medial side of the shoe, the insoles, and the outsoles to round out the overall design. The outsole features the Air Max unit and the heel is finished with a caged patterning.
