It’s a good day to be the A-Cold-Wall* x Nike Air Max Plus – GQ
Tue 23 May
After five long, long years of waiting, A-Cold-Wall* and Nike are officially back. And this time around, they’re taking on a true ‘90s classic with the A-Cold-Wall* x Nike Air Max Plus. A collaboration that has been rumoured for quite some time, it’s perhaps even better than sneakerheads imagined.
Dr Samuel Ross, the creative director and founder of ACW, has gone full monochromatic on the Air Max Plus. Unwrapped in ‘Pure Platinum’ and ‘Black’ options – just like his Air Force 1 Low from 2018 – this collection aligns with the British streetwear brand’sminimalistic design language. Outfitted in premium leather throughout, cut-outs across the lateral and medial sidewalls offer a deconstructed look, while translucent panelling to the front and back is quite Neo Milan 2082.
Underfoot, both trainers sit on top of highly sculpted TN Air Max midsoles complete with even more logos and text, and to round it all off, each ACW Air Max Plus comes packed in an exclusive co-branded shoebox that has been made specifically for this very special collab.
