Nike’s celebration of their Air Max Plus is continuing in 2025, this time issuing retro colorways of the shoe from 2000 for a special twenty-fifth anniversary release. This week, we got our first look at the “Eclair” or Lightning pair, coming soon.
The Nike Air Max Tuned 1 was originally released in 1998, through a partnership with Footlocker that saw the running shoe drop exclusively through the retailer’s stores. Since then, the model has become an essential part of the Air Max lore, as the first shoe to feature the at-the-time brand new Tuned technology underfoot. Now known as the AM Plus, the silhouette has been celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary since 2023 with a range of retro colors.
The latest of Nike’s classic styles to surface is the 2000 “Eclair” edition of the Air Max Plus. Released alongside models from the Alpha Project, like a similar pair of the Air Presto, the shoe features a lightning bolt graphic across the upper. The 2025 pair is an exact replica of the OG, dressed in navy blue with a suede mudguard accents, and white midsoles with bright Salsa Red accents.
