Toggle-Enclosed Stealthy Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike Launches a Black Reflective Air Max Plus Sneaker

— September 29, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduces a new iteration of the Air Max Plus sneaker model with the Reflective Black colorway palette joining its roster. Made for the Fall season, it is perfect for trekking through the outdoors and has a stealthy all-black design that highlights an all-black look.

The construction features a blend of modified mesh materials that are then overlaid with suede on top to elevate the shoe. The most notable part of the silhouette can be seen at the forefoot, where there is the toggle system that assists with securing the shoe. This is paired with 3M reflective details so that the shoes are visible during nighttime walks or runs. The sneaker is rounded out with speckled laces and air units on the sole.
