The Nike Air Max Plus ‘Light Photography’ trainer adds a fiery touch to the original Sean McDowell silhouette with some photography technique inspiration.
You might remember when the Air Max Plus, or TN as it more commonly known, came back on the scene for its 20th anniversary in 2018. That ‘Hyper Blue’ colourway was literally the talk of the town for TN fans, but since its revival the Air Max Plus has really cemented its OG status. The 90s saw Air Max move like nothing Nike had ever done before with new iterations of models and sole technology landing literally every 6 months. As an Air Max fan at the time it was pretty crazy trying to keep on top of the releases. As new Air Max models came on the scene the previous ones were sort of forgotten about with OG models like the Air Max Plus growing more of a cult like status. Here in Manchester the TN has always been the king of the streets. Walk around the North of the city today whether its Moston or Middleton and you’ll soon see the continued admiration for the original Sean McDowell silhouette. This latest Nike Air Max Plus ‘Light Photography’ trainer adds a fiery touch to the original late 90s visible air silhouette.
First released in 1998 by the legendary Nike designer, Sean McDowell, the Air Max Plus TN was inspired by McDowell’s vacation trip to a Florida beach. Palm tree inspired caged uppers, wavey hues & the iconic TN logo was what put the trainer in a “visible air” category of its own. Closely connected with street culture, the Air Max Plus has gained a cult following from Salford’s scallies to Sydney’s eshay’s.
The Nike Air Max Plus ‘Light Photography’ now arrives at mint. drawing inspiration from the popular photography technique. Featuring vibrant orange & red hues to the synthetic uppers in a combination of sport red, mandarin & solar flare with the signature TPU cage of the Tuned Air silhouette. Finished off with Air Max cushioning underfoot, TN branding to the heel & embroidered swooshes to the sidewalls this ‘Light Photography’ iteration is sure to go down a storm with the die hard TN fans.
