Nike introduces a look at its latest tonal iteration of the iconic Air Max Plus model with the launch of the Peach and Teal colorway to join its roster. With its tropical tonal themes, it joins the brand for the Summer 2025 season. The vibrant version starts with a mesh upper for a breathable base foundation in a vivid gradient application which transitions from peach to teal.
The tropical look also continues at the midfoot shank with peach Air units resting at the bottom soles. The shoe also has a harmonious look with black details to highlight the bold overlays, toe caps, outsoles, and midguards. It is set to launch later this summer online and in-store.
