Nike Air Max Plus ‘Sunrise’

The Nike Air Max Plus got a new lease on life in early 2026 with the Sunrise colorway, a vibrant gradient treatment that revisited the visual spirit of the model’s original 1998 design language. The TN Air, as it’s known in many markets, has maintained passionate regional followings in Australia, the UK, and continental Europe throughout its history.

Sunrise tones moving from deep orange through amber to soft yellow gave the familiar wavy overlays and Tuned Air pods a freshness that felt new while honoring the model’s aesthetic roots. The Air Max Plus rewards colorway-forward design, and Sunrise delivered exactly that.

The Nike Air Max Plus Sunrise retailed at $195 and released February 21, 2026 through Nike.com and select lifestyle retailers.
