Nike will revive the Air Max Plus “Turbo Green” in Fall 2025, bringing back the colorway for the first time since its original release in 2014. The return marks more than a decade since sneaker fans last saw the model in this distinctive palette.

The 2025 edition mirrors the defining features that gave the original its reputation. A white mesh base sets the stage for the palm tree-inspired TPU overlays, which ripple across the upper in a gradient of “Turbo Green.” The transition of color draws attention to the shoe’s unique lines and reinforces the visual energy of Sean McDowell’s original design. Reflective silver accents punctuate the upper, while subtle Nike branding maintains the balance between detail and function.
The midfoot’s whale-tail shank and the visible Air cushioning carry the same “Turbo Green” treatment, linking every part of the shoe’s design through consistent color placement. This deliberate use of the palette ensures that the shoe delivers the same presence it had during its first run. The visible Air units in the heel and forefoot add both performance and visual identity, a feature that has defined the Air Max Plus since its launch in the late 1990s.
Sean McDowell created the Air Max Plus with an exoskeleton-inspired overlay system that has since become its most recognizable trait. The design drew influence from natural shapes and coastal imagery, with the TPU overlays originally intended to evoke swaying palm trees. Over two decades later, that structure still defines the model’s silhouette and continues to appeal to those who appreciate distinctive sneaker design.
The return of the “Turbo Green” colorway brings the focus back to one of the Air Max Plus line’s more vibrant offerings. While the base mesh keeps the foundation neutral, the overlays and key components push the shoe into a more expressive space without overwhelming the design. The reflective silver elements also enhance visibility, adding a functional edge to the style-forward approach.
Set for release in Fall 2025, the Nike Air Max Plus “Turbo Green” will retail for $190 USD and will be available through Nike and select retailers. Its reappearance gives long-time fans a chance to revisit a favorite while introducing new audiences to a design that has maintained relevance for over twenty years. For collectors, it represents a rare opportunity to secure a colorway that has been absent from the market for more than a decade.
