Nike Air Max Plus 3 – Black/Team Orange/Vivid Sulfur

Dark Architecture. Hot Accents. — Nike Air Max Plus 3 in Black/Team Orange/Vivid Sulfur

The Nike Air Max Plus 3 in Black, Team Orange, and Vivid Sulfur is one of the most visually intense colorways in the TN’s extensive history — a shoe that takes the Air Max Plus’s already dramatic, wave-form silhouette and delivers it in a near-total blackout execution punctuated by two of the most electrically charged accent colors in the Nike palette. The Air Max Plus, originally designed by Sean McDowell in 1998 and inspired by the flowing lines of manta rays and the Florida sunset gradients of its birthplace, has one of the most recognizable and most architecturally complex outlines in running shoe history: the undulating TPU spine that runs the full length of the upper, the dramatically segmented Air column midsole units that stack visible Air cushioning from heel to midfoot, and the shoe’s characteristic aggressive forward-leaning stance that makes it look aerodynamically faster than its contemporaries even standing still. In Black with orange and gold, the Plus 3’s laser-perforated leather and TPU upper reads as a dark, textured surface that shifts between matte and glossy depending on how light hits the perforations — a material effect that makes the all-black upper far more visually complex than a simple color description suggests. Against this dark foundation, the team orange mini Swoosh and vivid sulfur TN tongue badge deliver two precise, electric hits of color that illuminate the shoe’s most essential identity markers with maximum contrast.

Product Features

• Black laser-perforated leather and TPU upper — the Air Max Plus 3’s defining surface treatment — a full-coverage black leather and synthetic construction with laser-perforated detailing that creates a shifting matte-to-gloss texture effect across the upper as light angles change, making the all-black colorway dramatically more complex in person than in photographs
• Black TPU wave-form spine — the Air Max Plus’s most iconic structural element — the undulating full-length TPU support structure that runs along the upper’s lateral and medial surfaces in deep black, providing the shoe’s essential structural support and its most recognizable silhouette-defining design feature in a seamless tonal dark finish
• Team orange mini Nike Swoosh — a small but intensely pigmented orange Swoosh on the black upper that delivers the colorway’s primary accent color with maximum contrast against the dark surface — a deliberate use of a reduced-scale branding mark to create maximum color impact with minimum visual interruption of the upper’s dark architecture
• Vivid sulfur/gold TN tongue badge — the Air Max Plus’s iconic round tongue logo in a bright yellow-gold vivid sulfur finish that marks the shoe’s TN heritage identity and delivers the colorway’s second accent color at the upper’s most visible branding location
• Segmented Air Max column midsole units — the Air Max Plus’s signature cushioning system — multiple stacked visible Air columns in the heel and midfoot that deliver the shoe’s most recognizable performance visual in a matching black finish, providing responsive cushioning across the full foot length
• High-gloss black midsole and outsole — a deep, lacquer-finish black sole unit that gives the Air Max Plus 3 its characteristic premium, almost patent-leather sole appearance and closes the dark palette at the shoe’s foundation with the same intense black finish as the perforated upper

Black perforated leather. Orange Swoosh. Gold TN badge. Air columns. — The Nike Air Max Plus 3 in Black/Team Orange/Vivid Sulfur is the TN that reminds you why this silhouette has never needed a quiet moment to make its point.
