Nike is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its iconic “Tiempo” boot collection with a street-style mashup. The Air Max Plus, which celebrates its 26th anniversary this year, combines with Tiempo for the first time. The upshot—Air Max Plus Tiempo—is a remarkable amalgamation of the iconic footwear releases.
The Air Max Plus Tiempo arrives in the traditional black-and-white colorway, preparing for a street-ready aesthetic. The boot’s leather replaces the Air Max Plus trademark mesh, while an exaggerated tongue folds from the top with a cutout revealing the Nike logo. The Swooshes also flank the sides of the shoe, above a thick midsole that screams Air Max Plus, encapsulated by the cushioning bubbles that run from the heels to the toes.
The signature yellow “Tn” (Tuned Air) logo runs the back of the shoe and the outsole. The Air Max Plus Tiempo follows the recent football-inspired Air Max Plus Mercurials and Air Max Plus PSG releases.
Are New York and London ready for this chunky-looking shoe? Out later this summer.
