Men's Nike Air Max Plus

About this shoe

The Nike Air Max Plus in Black Blue Crystal is a March 2026 general release applying the Blue Crystal icy outsole treatment to the Air Max Plus silhouette, featuring a black upper across the TN's characteristic gradient mesh and TPU overlay construction with black Swoosh and lace cage, finished with a translucent Blue Crystal outsole that adds the icy, semi-transparent blue tone beneath the shoe's dark palette as the colorway's defining visual accent. The Air Max Plus, designed by Sean McDowell and introduced in 1998, is built around a TPU cage structure that runs along the lateral and medial sides of the shoe giving the TN its distinctive exoskeleton appearance, a gradient mesh upper that fades from dark to light across its length, a large visible Air Max tube unit in the heel and forefoot for cushioning, and the aggressive forward-leaning silhouette that made it a street culture staple in Europe and Australia before becoming globally recognized. The Blue Crystal outsole on the black body creates the most dramatic contrast in the colorway, with the transparent blue reading as an almost-frozen quality underfoot that gives the TN a seasonal freshness while maintaining the aggressive, dark-toned character associated with the Air Max Plus's most popular black-based executions.
