Nike Air Max Plus OG "Neon"
Retail: $190 | Style Code: IQ0288-100
Release Date: Spring 2026
The Tuned Air terror is back. The Nike Air Max Plus OG "Neon" resurrects the most aggressive, most menacing, and most electrifying colorway in the TN's storied history — returning the silhouette that rewrote the rules of street culture in 1998 to its most dangerous and definitive form. Sean McDowell's wave-inspired masterpiece was always built different, and in "Neon," it has always looked different too — a shoe that arrived before the world was ready and has never once slowed down to let it catch up.
The Air Max Plus' iconic rippled TPU upper — those unmistakable graduated waves that flow from heel to toe like force lines made visible, inspired by the motion of palm trees bending in Florida wind — returns in the colorway that made the TN a legend on every continent. A deep black base gives way to a gradient that climbs through rich purple before erupting into blinding volt yellow-green at the toe, a chromatic journey that mirrors the original's fearless disregard for convention and restraint. The full-length Tuned Air unit runs the length of the midsole in signature fashion, delivering the pillowy, responsive ride that made the Plus not just a visual statement but a genuine performance revelation. Reflective accents catch the light at every angle, ensuring this shoe commands attention from sunrise to well past midnight.
Decades on, the Air Max Plus OG "Neon" remains one of the most recognizable, most coveted, and most culturally embedded colorways in the entire Nike archive — a shoe that transcends trend cycles because it was never part of one to begin with. It arrived as an original. It returns as a legend. Some shoes get called iconic. This one earned it. Sonnet 4.6
