Some Air Max Plus releases lean loud. Others move differently, relying on contrast and subtle color shifts to reshape the familiar TN look. That approach defines the Nike Air Max Plus “Pink Foam”, a Summer 2026 release that blends darker gradients with softer accents across the classic Tuned Air design.
Up top, breathable mesh transitions gradually from black into anthracite as it moves toward the toe. The gradient gives the upper a slightly smoky appearance that changes depending on lighting. Running across that surface are the model’s signature TPU cage ribs, finished here in Pink Foam, tracing the palm-tree inspired lines that helped define the original Air Max Plus aesthetic.
Black gloss panels up the ankle reinforce the toe and mudguard contrasting harder against the lighter mesh underslay. A small outlined Swoosh rests on the midfoot and Nike Air hexagon badge appears on the tongue. A familiar yellow TN Air logo circles the heel area untouched, retaining the silhouettes heritage feel.
Underfoot a white midsole features visible Tuned Air units. The Air units are lightly tinted and black midfoot shank adds stability to the platform. Pink Foam pods are speckled throughout the outsole creating a less obvious nod to the cage systems above.
The Nike Air Max Plus “Pink Foam” will launch Summer 2026 retailing for $180 through Nike.com and select retailers.
