Nike Air Max Plus Black/Blue Crystal Arrives in 2026
Nike is preparing a fresh take on its Tuned Air platform with the Air Max Plus in Black/Blue Crystal. The 2026 release channels a darker, more introspective palette across the silhouette's signature tubular cage structure.
The Air Max Plus has long served as a study in aggressive geometry—its exaggerated medial cage and sharp lines define one of Nike's most divisive and devoted followings. This upcoming Black/Blue Crystal iteration continues that tradition while introducing a more subdued color narrative than the model typically commands.
The colorway emphasizes blacks as its dominant tone, allowing crystalline blue accents to punctuate the cage framework and secondary details. The result is a moody composition that preserves the silhouette's structural drama while leaning into more contemporary minimalist sensibilities. For a shoe built on visual confrontation, this restraint reads as a calculated shift—one that may broaden the Plus' appeal beyond the core enthusiast base.
Release Details
The Nike Air Max Plus Black/Blue Crystal carries a $170 USD retail price and is slated for release in 2026. The SKU DM0032-041 marks the shoe's official designation. Availability will extend through Nike's direct channels, with retail partnerships anticipated closer to the release window.
