As the Nike Air Max Plus continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary, the brand is bringing back a wave of nostalgia with the re-release of the "Battle Blue" colorway. This low-key release initially made a splash in the summer of 2019, and has since gained significant steam on the aftermarket. The "Battle Blue" iteration — also referred to as "Sky Blue"_ is a testament to the Air Max Plus's enduring appeal, featuring a harmonious blend of Battle Blue and Blue Glaze against a crisp white backdrop. The sneaker's design elements—white plastic and patent overlays, tongues, laces, and midsoles—lay the foundation for a design that feels as fresh today as it did at its debut. The gradient upper transitions smoothly from a robust mid-blue at its base to a lighter, more ethereal blue, encapsulating the essence of summer skies. Continuing the cool, summery theme, light blue midfoot shanks and matching Air Units underscore the design's aquatic inspiration, while a black rubber outsole grounds the sneaker in practicality and style. This summer 2024 release is not just a nod to the past; it's a celebration of the Air Max Plus's journey and its ability to remain relevant in a market of ever-evolving trends.
