Nike is releasing the Air Max Plus Drift (the remastered version of the Air Max Plus) during Spring 2024 in the "Light Smoke Grey" colorway.
After 25 years, Nike has decided it is time to produce a remastered version of the successful Air Max Plus model. It remains one of the best-selling silhouettes in the Air Max lineup, making it very important for Nike. The new version of this model is called the Nike Air Max Plus Drift, releasing in three different colorways during the Spring of 2024. The "Smoke Grey" color scheme features mesh with a tricolor gradient from red to yellow and blue. Over the mesh sits the rubber cage seen on the Air Max Plus, this time done in grey. The tongue is black, but both the Nike Air logo on the tongue and its background are grey. The Swoosh logo on the heel is also grey, just like the midsole. The outsole gets an icy sole treatment, done in a translucent light blue.
Although the Air Max Plus Drift is inspired by the Nike Air Max Plus silhouette, it sets itself apart from its source of inspiration quite easily. The shoe is wider, giving it a bulkier look compared to its predecessor. Besides the shape of the shoe, the Swoosh logo is placed near the heel instead of in a central position. The rubber elements on the upper have also been thickened compared to the 25-year-old model, while still being arranged in the same way – over the colored mesh that allows the foot to breathe.
When is the Nike Air Max Plus Drift Light Smoke Grey releasing?
Although the release date has not yet been announced, we expect the Nike Air Max Plus Drift "Light Smoke Grey" to launch on Nike.com during Spring 2024. See the official images below as we wait for more details about the release from the brand or its retail partners.
