If you’ve ever wanted to walk like a Sith Lord, Nike is making your dark side dreams come true. Introducing the Nike Air Max Plus Red Lightsaber—a sneaker that screams, “Join the Empire, but make it fashion.”

The classic Air Max Plus gets decked out in black mesh and patent overlays with red accents that channel pure villain energy. Red hits the laces, tongue, and swoosh like they were laser-etched by Darth Maul himself. But wait—it gets even better. The gradient toe box features glowing red streaks that look straight from a lightsaber duel.

Underneath, the midsole keeps things dark and brooding with black and red contrasts, while the outsole sports hints of yellow for added flair. And don’t ignore the Tn Air logo on the heel—it’s like the Dark Side’s stamp of approval. Though not officially tied to Star Wars, the vibe is undeniable.

Releasing in Japan on June 13, 2025, this Nike Air Max Plus “Red Lightsaber” pair is expected to make a galactic entrance worldwide soon. Keep your eyes on Nike.com for that wider launch—you don’t want to be the only one at the Cantina without these kicks.

In conclusion, these sneakers are perfect for storming the galaxy or just flexing on your morning commute. Sith style never looked this comfy.
