Nike introduces another tonal iteration of the Air Max Terrascape Plus sneaker model for the season with a prominent blue and white hue throughout the shoe.
It is inspired by the classic UNC colorway with a cool tonal scheme. It has a construction that sees recycled polyester by the upper and sits on top of an outsole that is made from 10% Nike Grind -- this is a material that is used by the brand when it is upcycling factory waste in order to create a new life for the materials. The Swoosh branding can be seen printed on top of the lateral side of the upper under the blue TPU cage. The TPU also wraps around all of the shoe and the base is speckled for contrast.
