Nike Air Max Plus "Black/Illusion Green" Brings a Fresh Gradient Look
Nike continues to evolve the iconic Air Max Plus with the striking Black/Illusion Green colourway. Staying true to the model's aggressive DNA, this release combines a stealthy all-black foundation with vibrant green gradient details, creating a modern look that still feels unmistakably TN.
A Classic TN Colour Fade
The standout feature of this release is the Illusion Green gradient that flows across the signature TPU cage and side panels. Starting subtly before becoming more vibrant towards the heel, the fade creates the glowing effect that Air Max Plus fans have loved for decades.
The upper is built from breathable black mesh, allowing the green highlights to stand out without overwhelming the overall design. It's a clean balance between everyday wearability and bold streetwear styling.
Premium Black Details
Nike complements the gradient upper with a range of textured black finishes throughout the shoe. Glossy overlays wrap around the toe, mudguard and Swoosh branding, while matte textures add depth around the heel and side panels.
Additional Illusion Green hits appear on:
- Visible Tuned Air units
- Midfoot shank
- Tongue badge
- Heel branding
- Upper detailing
Small yellow accents on the outsole and classic TN Air logos provide a subtle retro touch that longtime collectors will appreciate.
Tuned Air Comfort Remains
Underfoot, the Air Max Plus keeps the technology that made it famous. A black midsole houses Nike's Tuned Air cushioning system, delivering responsive comfort and excellent stability whether you're wearing them casually or every day.
Even decades after its original release, the Air Max Plus continues to be one of Nike's most recognisable lifestyle sneakers thanks to its distinctive design and comfortable ride.
