Sunset-Colored Gradient Shoes

Nike Reveals a Sunset Gradient Iteration of the Air Max Plus

— October 31, 2022 — Fashion
Nike introduces a new pink and yellow gradient iteration of its iconic Air Max Plus silhouette, transforming the shoe to look like a dreamy sunset. The sneaker uses a fabric upper for added functionality, while a synthetic leather design wraps around the sneaker. The semi-translucent mudguard strips cushion the foot for added protection, and black plastic waves creep into the uppers. The Swooshes are redone in an orange shade at the medials, and the black leather tongues are finished with Nike Air branding.

The sneakers rest atop gradient plastic arches, while a white mold and a yellow interior Air bed finish off the colorway. Consumers can expect this colorway to launch on Nike and select retailers in the later half of 2022.
