Making a Splash: The Nike Air Max Plus ‘Aluminum’ Drops Cooler Than Ever
Everyone with a finger anywhere near the sphere knows the has taken most of the Air Max spotlight this year, but the isn’t backing down. Having sat under the formal creative direction of Sean McDowell, the model has continued to land fresh colourways that hold their own despite the Big Bubble hype.
The newest 'Aluminium' edition is a prime example, offering a sharp contrast to the warm, tropical vibes that typically define the silhouette. Instead of leaning into fiery sunsets or bright accents, this iteration opts for a cooler, aquatic-inspired palette. Soft light blue waves ripple across the iconic TPU overlays, reminiscent of ocean currents and palm shadows, but grounded by a deep navy base and glossy 'Diffused Blue' mudguards. The effect is a refined yet dynamic look that stands apart in a season dominated by bold brights and retro nostalgia.
This release is just one example of how Team Swoosh continue to carry the TN legacy forward. Earlier this year we saw the bringback of the beloved colourway, an iteration so bold it demands a double take.
Currently, there are no details for when the Nike Air Max Plus 'Aluminium' will drop, but if rumours online are anything to go by, expect a release with little to no warning. Keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker to keep updated.
