Nike taps into cyber aesthetics for its latest Air Max Plus, delivering a wild rework that feels equal parts retro runner and data-glitched daydream.
Dubbed the “Dark Obsidian” colourway, this new take leans hard into a distorted grid motif that warps and fades across the upper like a matrix melting in motion.
The mesh base blends navy and white in a warped pixelated layout, while signature TPU overlays fade from white at the toe to deep black near the heel creating a ripple effect that’s more sci-fi than seaside.
A sharp Blue Chill Swoosh slices through the chaos, adding an icy highlight that pops against the darker tones. Details like white laces, obsidian panels, and glowing accents on the midfoot and sole reinforce the futuristic mood.
Meanwhile, Tuned Air units underfoot stick with the familiar formula but offer a cooler twist in light blue. The outsole remains all business, grippy, tough, and ready for daily wear.
While the Air Max Plus has cycled through countless colourways, this one hits different. It’s bold but wearable, nostalgic but forward-looking, a proper techwear crossover built for the street.
