The Nike Air Max Plus continues to impress sneaker fans with fresh colorways, maintaining its status as a classic. As 2024 comes to a close, Nike introduces a bold new “University Gold” edition. This eye-catching release blends vibrant gold accents with the signature black base of the iconic silhouette.

The “University Gold” gradient starts at the heel, smoothly transitioning into the mostly black upper. Glossy plastic overlays give the black design a sleek finish, while the gold adds a vibrant pop of color. A small white Swoosh on the side provides a sharp contrast, making it stand out against the darker tones. The design is further enhanced by the white midsole, which breaks up the otherwise all-black look, adding more visual appeal.

Designed by Sean McDowell in 1998, the Nike Air Max Plus is known for its Tuned Air technology and bold aesthetic. This new “Black/University Gold” version updates the classic with a fresh and modern look, making it a must-have for sneaker lovers.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Black/University Gold” is expected to release on February 20, 2025. You can find it at select Nike Sportswear retailers, online, and on Nike.com. Available in men’s sizes, the retail price is set at $180 USD.

Don’t miss out on this exciting release—it’s sure to be a standout in Nike’s end-of-year collection. Keep an eye on your favorite retailers for its drop.
