The Nike Air Max Plus “Lemon Venom” doesn’t hold back. Bold colour takes the spotlight, with the upper split across a gradient of “Lemon Venom,” “Laser Orange,” and “Hyper Crimson.” It looks wild on first glance—like a heat map or fruit bowl—but that’s the point. This shoe was made to stand out, not blend in.
Glossy red hits on the tongue badge and Air units keep the intensity high. The midsole follows suit with red pods in the heel and forefoot, reinforcing the theme from top to bottom. With all this colour, the rest of the build wisely tones it down. “Blackened Blue” wraps the signature TPU overlays, lining, toe cap, and outsole, framing the chaos without muting it.
As always, you get that classic Tuned Air feel underfoot. Nike’s dual Air setup provides bounce in the forefoot and extra cushioning in the heel. The mesh upper offers some breathability, while the TPU ribs maintain the shoe’s structure and lock in the original ‘98 shape.
This “Lemon Venom” edition pushes the boundaries with its palette, but stays true to what makes the Air Max Plus iconic. Loud, confident, built to turn heads—this release gives a fresh take without changing the formula. Expect this one to move fast when it lands.
