Nike launched the color-blocked hybrid model, the Air Max Plus/97 'Layer Cake', in February 2018. This design showcases a combination of three distinct colors on the Air Max 97 upper: black for the tongue and collar, Barely Rose for the signature waves, and Leche Blue for the mudguard and embroidered Swoosh. The upper seamlessly integrates with the Tuned Air-infused Air Max Plus sole, featuring a stylish Mica Green finish. Additional details include an orange Swoosh on the tongue and coordinating branding on the insole, complementing the overall aesthetic.
