Nike’s next pair of Air Max Plus TNPOs take it back to 2005, with a colourway inspired by Ronaldinho’s signature Tiempo boots.
The white and gold boots were a must-have 20 years ago, and now a streetwear nod to the Brazilian icon could very well restore the joga bonito feeling for fans everywhere.
The new Air Max sneakers are rumoured to arrive in crisp white, following the same silhouette as Nike's previous TNPOs – Air Max Plus with a touch of Tiempo. The pristine base, accented by gold Swooshes, wraps around the sides of the shoes and is stitched into the foldover tongue.
Boots transformed as streetwear essentials have been the Swoosh’s bag recently, from the return of the T90 to Tiempo Cortez sneakers. These R10 classics might be the coldest drop of the year, though.
A release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the sneakers are set to launch in the next few months.
