The Nike Air Max Plus Drift “Twilight” is a stunning new addition to the iconic Air Max Plus lineup, inspired by the mesmerizing colors of a fading sunset. This latest iteration of Tinker Hatfield’s classic design showcases a captivating blend of nocturnal tones, with “Ashen Slate” serving as the foundation for the TPU waves of the upper. The dark neutral is complemented by navy accents on the sockliner and tongue that evoke the inky depths of a night sky.
But the real star of the show is the neon gradient that graces the bottom of the shoe. Beginning with a vibrant “Hyper Pink”, the color story seamlessly transitions through “Vivid Purple” before culminating in a striking “Hyper Royal”. This clever use of color perfectly captures the essence of a sunset, as if the sky has been frozen in time just an hour or two after the sun has dipped below the horizon.
While it may be ambitious to expect this colorway to achieve the same level of success as the original Air Max Plus, there is no denying that it hits all the right aesthetic notes. The Nike Air Max Plus Drift “Twilight” is a testament to the enduring appeal of nature-inspired themes in sneaker design, especially when applied to Sean McDowell’s timeless creation and its descendants.
Slated for a Fall 2024 release, the Nike Air Max Plus Drift “Twilight” (Style Code: FD4290-401) will be available at Nike.com and select retailers for $185.
