The Nike Air Max Plus TN 'Syracuse' (2021) delivers a bold take on one of Nike's most recognisable running-inspired silhouettes. Originally designed by Sean McDowell, the Air Max Plus debuted in 1998 and became an icon thanks to its distinctive wavy upper, visible Tuned Air cushioning, and aggressive aesthetic. The 2021 'Syracuse' colourway updates the classic design with a vibrant orange gradient inspired by the signature Syracuse palette, contrasted by black detailing that enhances the shoe's unmistakable lines. Retaining the performance-driven technology and unmistakable style that have made the Air Max Plus a favourite for decades, this release seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary streetwear appeal.
Overview
The Nike Air Max Plus TN 'Syracuse' (2021) features a breathable mesh upper that transitions through vivid shades of orange, creating a striking gradient effect across the signature TPU cage overlays. Black accents appear on the mudguard, tongue, laces, lining, heel, and outsole, delivering strong contrast while maintaining the silhouette's bold identity. A crisp white midsole houses Nike's Tuned Air cushioning system, engineered to provide targeted stability and responsive comfort throughout the day. The iconic yellow TN Air badge appears on the heel and outsole, paying tribute to the model's heritage, while the classic whale-tail midfoot shank and palm tree-inspired design lines remain true to Sean McDowell's original vision. Combining lightweight comfort, durable construction, and one of the Air Max family's most distinctive designs, the 'Syracuse' edition stands out as both a lifestyle staple and a collector's favourite. Authenticity is guaranteed with PUSHAS, where every pair is meticulously authenticated by our team of experts.
