Nike Air Max Plus “Lisboa” – A Tribute to Lisbon’s Iconic Tile Art

Few sneakers command the streets of Europe like the Air Max Plus. In 2025, its reign shows no signs of slowing down—especially in Portugal, where the silhouette continues to thrive as a symbol of urban culture and style. To honour this unwavering support, Nike has dropped a stunning new edition: the Air Max Plus “Lisboa”.

This special release is inspired by Lisbon’s traditional azulejo art—intricate, hand-painted ceramic tilework that has adorned the city for centuries. The entire mesh upper is covered in detailed blue-and-white patterns, mimicking the delicate style of these historic tiles. It's more than just a design choice—it's a cultural tribute wrapped into a modern classic.

Underfoot, the attention to detail continues with a tiled mosaic-style print beneath translucent outsoles, adding a hidden layer of storytelling with every step. The tongue is stamped with “Lisboa”, and the classic jewel Swoosh on the sides swaps the coat of arms of Lisbon for a subtle yet powerful nod to the city’s flag.


Whether you're a collector, a Portugal native, or just someone who appreciates culturally-rooted design, this pair is a must-watch. No official release date has been confirmed yet, but early signs suggest it may be a Portugal-exclusive drop—making it even more coveted among international Tuned fans.

Keep your eyes locked for updates. And if you're serious about your TN game, you might want to start networking with your European plugs now.
