Bring the Bling With the Swarovski x Nike Air Max Plus “Pimento”

Swarovski and Nike have linked up multiple times in the past, but the upcoming Swarovski x Nike Air Max Plus “Pimento” might just be the duo’s most groundbreaking collaboration to date. Combining the legendary silhouette with the Austrian jeweller’s signature crystals, while this doesn’t sound like it should work on paper, in practice it’s a match made in heaven.

Taking on the ’90s model, the “Pimento” boasts a predominantly black leather base and is covered with a palm tree-inspired caging system across the lateral and medial sidewalls. You’ll also find a fiery red Swoosh here, just so you know that this is a classic Tuned Air sneaker.

But while the American sportswear company could’ve just left it there and it probably would’ve sold out anyway, they’ve gone one step further by embellishing the entire Air Max Plus with hundreds and hundreds of crystals, all in different shapes and colours and sizes. Extending from the toebox all the way to the back, there’s nothing else quite like it.

But this collab isn’t just about form either, as function is equally as important. Underfoot, the Air Max Plus rests on top of a chunky Air midsole that’s as comfortable as it gets. Each pair also includes a branded Swarovski accessory bag filled with crystal extras, reinforcing the luxurious theme of the collaboration.

With a retail price of around £450 each, the Swarovski x Nike Air Max Plus “Pimento” is more than just a sneaker; it’s a statement piece that blends legend design with high-end materials. Dropping on December 5th, let us know if you’ll be going for these, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
