Air Max Plus Golf
Over the years, Nike has reworked several of its classic silhouettes into golf-friendly designs with specially adapted features. In 2025, the brand selected another of its most popular lifestyle models to undergo the same process, creating the Air Max Plus Golf.
The upper of the Nike Air Max Plus Golf exhibits the same distinctive look as the original Plus, with its palm-tree-inspired TPU frame, protective toe cap and extended mudguard. A waterproof material has been used for the main part of the upper, so players can withstand harsh conditions while out on the course. Meanwhile, its webbed lacing system and well-structured design offer great lockdown to keep the foot snugly in place during play.
Underfoot, the Air Max Plus Golf has a powerful sole unit containing two types of tuned Nike Air, both of which are visible through clear windows in the midsole. Responsive Zoom Air supports the forefoot, while an Air Max unit adds classic cushioning to the heel, offering comfort and stability along the whole length of the shoe. The familiar whale-shaped shank stands out on the midfoot, delivering lateral sturdiness to help the player maintain balance throughout each swing.
The outsole of the Nike Air Max Plus Golf has been reworked to provide grip on the full range of surfaces that might be encountered while playing golf. Made from specialised rubber that offers traction in wet conditions, it also features a complex grid of square-shaped pads for excellent all-round support.
Aesthetically, classy branding elements can be found across the Air Max Plus Golf. Small Swooshes adorn both flanks, and the iconic Tn Air logo decorates the outsole, insole and heel. Another hexagonal emblem appears on the tongue, while the famous ‘hemisphere’ structures, which were a distinguishing feature of the original Plus, highlight the medial heel of the outsole.
To launch the silhouette, Nike opted for a duo of retro designs with vibrant colour gradients – the bright ‘Sunset’ and the rich ‘Hyper Blue’ – for a standout look. Alongside these eye-catching colourways, the brand released a sleek black version with white accents and an all-white sneaker with vivid yellow hemispheres.
Combining the striking retro appeal of a 90s icon with functional elements designed to enhance performance, the Nike Air Max Plus Golf is sure to draw attention on any course.
