The Nike Air Max Plus Summer Gradient , a revival of the iconic 2019 palette, offers a summery take on the iconic late-'90s runner. The model evokes the sunny aesthetic of Miami and South Florida—the landscapes that inspired Nike's signature gradient, which ranges from orange to pink to lavender to blue. This reissue returns in 2024 for fans of classic Air Max Plus colorways who want to wear pieces of streetwear history with a summer twist. At Aplug, you'll find authenticated pairs ready to rotate into your sneaker collection.

The design features a multicolor gradient across the breathable mesh —a vibrant orange toe seamlessly transitions into soft pink, lavender, and finishes with a cool blue on the forefoot and midfoot. Signature, wavy TPU overlays on the lateral side and midfoot enhance the silhouette and add structure, while the clean white upper and instep enhance the coastal sunset effect. Black accents—lacquer loops, Nike Air branding on the tongue, and lateral Swoosh—add contrast and ground the bright palette. Visible Air units take on a subtle hue that harmonizes with the upper, while the midsole features a harmonized gradient; a black rubber outsole with visible Air windows and colored panels at the heel and midfoot clearly evoke the sunny, SoFlo vibe.

The Air Max Plus Summer Gradient is the perfect shoe for urban style and vacation strolls—it effortlessly integrates into a summer wardrobe. Pair it with loose shorts in pastel tones, an oversized T-shirt, or a linen shirt to enhance that sunset feel. It also works well with cotton cargo pants or Bermuda jeans. If you want to build an entire outfit around it, grab sporty sunglasses in yellow or pink and a backpack in a neutral tone—cream, beige, or natural linen. This style doesn't require excessive "drips"; the gradient alone does all the work, so keep the rest of the elements subdued and minimalist.

What are the features of the Nike Air Max Plus Summer Gradient?

• Tuned Air System - gas chambers designed to combine cushioning with lateral stability; ideal for long walks and everyday use, they absorb shock without losing responsiveness at the step.
• Gradient on mesh – a lightweight, breathable fabric with a distinct orange to blue fade; it provides ventilation and serves as a carrier for the color effect of a sunset.
• Wavy TPU Overlays – Structural reinforcements on the lateral and midfoot stabilize the upper and create the recognizable 3D silhouette of the Air Max Plus.
• Midfoot shank - a stiff midfoot insert provides torsional stability and a more confident stride when walking on urban surfaces.
• Foam Midsole (PU/EVA) – Works with the Tuned Air unit to provide primary cushioning, easing the impact of hard pavements and parking lots.
• Visible Air Units (tinted) – Subtly tinted Air units in the heel and midfoot not only improve comfort, but also add a collectible detail and increase the visual impact of the shoe.
• Black rubber outsole - Offers traction on urban surfaces and is easy to clean; colorful panels at the heel and midfoot enhance the color scheme of the upper.
• Minimalist black accents (Swoosh, lace loops, Air emblem) create contrast against the bright palette and ground the design, preventing it from feeling overly summery and sugary.

How to choose the size of Nike Air Max Plus Summer Gradient?

The Air Max Plus tends to be a bit narrower and more form-fitting than some other Nike models —if you have standard-width feet, go for your regular size (True to Size). Those with wider feet or who wear thicker socks in the colder months should consider going up a half-size (+0.5–1 size). If you're constantly torn between the two, go for the larger size—you can adjust the lacing for a tighter fit, but the tight upper will quickly show up on longer walks.
