Just in time for autumn 2025, Nike is bringing back a classic with the Air Max Plus VII. Originally released in 2005 as part of the Tuned Air series, the model is still considered a milestone in cushioning and design. To mark the silhouette's 20th anniversary, the popular ‘Varsity Maize’ colourway is now available in a revamped version, making a strong statement for retro runners with modern performance.

The eye-catching colourway combines a bright yellow mesh upper with a striking gradient in black and metallic silver. A pattern of fine dots creates dynamic movement on the upper, while wavy TPU overlays provide structure and stability. The design is rounded off by a white mini Swoosh and the signature TN Air logo placement on the heel.

The midsole brings back the proven Tuned Air technology and comes in black with yellow-tinted Air elements that blend harmoniously into the overall design. The outsole is black and white and provides grip and durability.

The sneaker will be released on 6 October 2025 – just in time for the start of the cooler months. 

The retail price is 190 €. For that, you get a piece of Air Max history in a modern design, including powerful Tuned Air cushioning and one of the most striking colourways from 2005.
