Revived after nearly two decades, the Air Max Plus VII “Varsity Maize” makes a bold return, dripping with Y2K energy in radiant yellow and black contrasts. It’s not just a comeback—it’s a reinstatement of Tuned Air’s next chapter.

Design & Materials

The Nike Air Max Plus VII 'Varsity Maize' pair features a gradient-level yellow mesh base that transitions into deep black at the heel, complemented by metallic silver overlays that trace the classic wavy structure. Black and white accents punctuate key elements like the midfoot Swoosh and outsole, preserving visual clarity. Underneath, the midsole retains the iconic Tuned Air components wrapped in sculpted foam, while the outsole’s rubber setup ensures traction and durability in multiples terrains.

Comfort & Performance

Built for both legacy and modern wear, this version carries forward the signature Tuned Air cushioning. The footbed feels responsive, while the layered upper offers structure and strength without compromising flexibility. Its design is meant to perform, whether underfoot or for display.
