Sneaker News Among the most cherished original colorway of the Nike Air Max Plus, the “Olympic” is set for a return in 2021 as we get a first glance at official images. Dropping first way back in 2000 in conjunction with the Summer Olympics in Sydney, this recognizable colorway combined the patriotic comet red, obsidian navy, and white while infusing hits of winning gold on the upper gradient, toe-cap, and the mid-foot gradient. However, one detail that Nike continues to overlook during its re-issue process is the tint of the interior Air unit; these official images reveal a solid red, when in actuality the first pair utilized a matching golden hue. The same issue existed in 2020’s first-ever retro of the Air Max Triax 96 “Olympic”.
For now, release date information has yet to be revealed, although we suspect these to launch as we near the Tokyo Games later this summer. In other Air Max news, check out the recently revealed VaporMax Plus “Fresh” launching on May 18th.
