Sportswear giant Nike has introduced an all-new 'Metallic Copper' version of its iconic Air Max Plus model. According to the company, the new model draws inspiration from both the Air Tuned Max 'Celery' colorway and the recently released Air Max Plus 'Grape' colorway.
The sneaker arrives dressed in a 'Metallic Copper' hue and features hits of black and gold on the sole. As a result, unlike previous Air Max Plus models, the shoe comes with a subtle shiny finish instead of a vibrant one. In addition, the silhouette features matching Nike Swooshes on either lateral side as well as on the shoe's tongue. Rounding out the design, the Air Max Plus' signature 'TN Air' logo is branded on the heel and insole.
For those interested, the Air Max Plus in 'Metallic Copper' has yet to receive an official release date but should hit store shelves sometime later this year.
