Nike's Flare-Inspired Air Max Plus Reminds You to "Support Your Team"

Nike Sportswear's beloved Air Max Plus is back in another "Black/University Red/Metallic Silver" color scheme. This time, the ensemble features flare graphics printed on the upper.

A long-time staple of match-day shenanigans in football-loving cities across the world, Sean McDowell's Tuned Air pioneer delivers a straightforward reminder to any wearer: "Support Your Team." The nod to organized sports connects to the flare imagery found across the mesh upper as fan bases across the globe often show their favorite teams support with the help of this device. Though not always allowed by stadium and arena officials, the bright spectacle lets fellow fans and opponents know who's around, readying all for competition.

Aglets on the sneaker's laces recreate the flare device—complete with directional arrows.
