Blood Stain-Designed Sneakers

Nike's Air Max Plus Faded Coloring is Complete in Gradient Hues

— November 7, 2018 — Fashion
Nike introduces the Air Max Plus 'Faded Coloring' sneaker model, where it takes the signature model as the foundation and gives it a gradient tonal makeover. The new iteration is complete in an off-white hue constructed from mesh at the base, and red hues infuse itself in a gradient design. This gives off a visual concept of a blood-stained design, following further across the shoe's torsion plate that is added on top of the contrasting white midsole.

The mudguard is complete in white leather and the sneaker adds a TPU toe box along with a black rubber outsole. Branding details are seen across the midfoot and tongue as the signature Swoosh adorns it, with Air badges on the torsion plate and the heel area.
