Dressed in a red-to-black gradient, the Air Max Plus receives its newest colorway to date for Fall 2026. Starting off bright red at the toe, the sneaker fades into deeper Mystic Date tones across the midfoot and heel.

Black fills in nearly everything around it. The glossy TPU cage follows the shoe’s familiar wavy shape, while the mudguard, toe cap, laces, tongue, heel panel, and midsole all carry the same dark finish. A small Grey Fog Swoosh sits along the side and adds a lighter break without changing the overall mood.

The bottom half keeps that same approach. Tinted Air units sit inside the black midsole, and the center shank plate moves from red into black. Yellow shows up in smaller doses on the TN heel badges, sockliners, and Tuned Air pods underfoot.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Tough Red” is scheduled to release in Fall 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers. The retail price is set at $190.
