Nike is adding grit to a classic. This fall, the Air Max Plus arrives in a “Dark Smoke Grey” colorway made with Cordura fabric.
Here, the design sticks to neutral tones. A blend of dark and college greys cover the base, while black hits reinforce the trim and sole. The iconic wavy overlays are still there, but the texture feels tougher thanks to the Cordura material.
There’s just enough flash to keep it interesting. Chrome Swooshes bring a metallic snap on the sides. Pops of yellow show up beneath the outsole, breaking the grayscale theme without being too loud.
The Nike Air Max Plus Cordura “Dark Smoke Grey” is expected to release Fall 2025. Retail price is set at $180. Look for them on Nike.com and select retailers.
It’s not flashy, but that’s the point. This pair feels like it was built to last. The kind you keep in rotation once the weather shifts.
