CONCEPT DESIGN
Original caption
Nike Air Max Plus TN Crystalline Bio Capsule 26' Concept 💠🩷 The Air Max Plus TN (Tuned Air), designed by Sean McDowell, originally debuted back in 1998 as an exclusive for Foot Locker, revolutionizing sneaker design with its new Tuned Air technology. The shoe became a cultural icon in Europe and Australia. This concept puts a unique twist on the model, with a stunning “pink crystal” colourway, translucent exoskeleton holding the mesh upper, a translucent sole, and of course the iconic yellow and black hexagonal logo stamped on the rear heel tab.
