A Thumbs-Up Mash-Up: Nike Air Max Plus Silver Bullet

The NIKE AIR MAX PLUS SILVER BULLET is a true Nike Air Max mash-up, covering the TN in the famed metallic and red AM97 colourway.

Also known as the TN or Tuned 1, the highly regarded Nike Air Max Plus was originally released in 1998. Famed for its OG gradient coloured uppers and rippled caged upper, the Air Max Plus has long been a staple of the true (and plastic) roadman, so don’t be surprised if these get teethed right off your feet in the wrong part of town.

Ramping up the hype for spring, the Nike Air Max Plus joins the Silver Bullet ranks next week, taking to the shelves on the same day as the colourway’s original maker, the NIKE AIR MAX 97. A true Air Max mash-up, the metallic silver and red colorway takes to the Plus like a dream, covering its muted mesh uppers entirely and breaking up the contoured midsole whilst offering extra shine to the reinforced toebox and distinctive rubbery cage. A scaled down Swoosh in vivid red adds that finishing pop of colour, while the trademark yellow TN Air branding takes to the heel, affixing a badge of honour to a rounded release that’s sure to cause a queue or two.

An essential for any collection, you might want to set an alarm for this one.

The NIKE AIR MAX PLUS SILVER BULLET is set for release THURSDAY 13 APRIL. For now, shop the current Nike Air Max Plus collection to your heart’s content with FOOT LOCKER EU by following the banner below.
