Update June 19, 2023: Ahead of Paris Fashion Week, Samuel Ross shows off a third colourway of the upcoming A-COLD-WALL* x Nike Air Max Plus in a tonal royal blue, and it’s giving off Colette vibes. It’s still unknown if this colourway is slated for release or for friends and family only, but keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for any updates.

Samuel Ross’s A-COLD-WALL* have collaborated with a few sneaker brands since the label’s beginnings in 2015. Working with brands such as Converse, Timberland, and Dr. Marten’s, the label is returning to collaborate with the Swoosh on two colourways of the Nike Air Max Plus.

ACW* and Nike have collaborated in the past on the Air Force 1 and Zoom Vomero 5 and have brought a new take to the Sean McDowell-designed sneaker. Dropping in two colourways, Black and Platinum Tint, a full leather build is used, replacing the mesh seen on the sneaker. The TPU overlays are replaced with the leather upper, embossing the details. The Swoosh is die-cut on the medial and lateral sides, with squares cut out as well throughout the upper. ACW* and Nike branding are seen on the tongue, heel overlay, and medial shank plate. The tonal look extends down into the midsoles, with visible Air Max units seen on the forefoot and heel.

The A-COLD-WALL* x Nike Air Max Plus is expected to drop later this year via SNKRS and at select retailers for $210. Keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for updates.
