TLDR: The Nike Air Max Plus ‘Dark Obsidian’ will be released on 3 July 2025 for €200 and features a futuristic grid print, colour-gradient TPU waves and ‘Blue Chill’ details. A tech-inspired colourway with sci-fi vibes and iconic Tuned Air cushioning. The Nike Air Max Plus ‘Dark Obsidian’ shows that Sean McDowell's classic still exudes creative energy decades after its debut. Instead of classic colour gradients, this colourway features a distorted navy-white grid print that runs from the heel to the toe box across the upper – as if from a digital parallel world.
The pattern is reminiscent of technical drawing tables or futuristic data streams, giving the shoe a modern, almost sci-fi look. The typical TPU waves flow smoothly from white to black, adding extra dynamism to the design. ‘Blue Chill’ accents appear on the Swoosh, shank and Tuned Air elements, creating a cool contrast to the otherwise dark tones such as obsidian and black.
Another highlight is the subtle glow effects around the midfoot, which add visual depth to the shoe. White laces and a dark outsole keep the look wearable and clean. With a weight and construction that combines performance and streetwear, the Air Max Plus remains a statement piece just before its 30th anniversary.
