Nike gives its Air Max Plus sneaker model a new Cordura update, giving it water-resistant elements across the uppers. The shoe is highlighted by the heavy-duty fabric, delivering a base foundation of black mesh materials covered with a cage overlay decorated in a gradient design.
It blends together hues of black and gold with gold accents making up the eyestays and black leather details making up the heel counter, the tongue tab, and the bottom overlay sections. There is also a Cordura brand tag that rests on top of the lateral side of the midsole section, featuring a blend of gold to black gradient that adorns the arches and holds the iconic Air units on the black outsole.
