Ahead of the imminent FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Nike dresses the French Football Federation (FFF) with their own Air Max Plus to match the team’s off-the-pitch gear.

The construction of the full-navy upper arrives with a mesh base and a 3M reflective TPU-lined vector pattern from the forefoot to the heel. The monochromatic scheme, allows for the golden embellishments to stand out. These take the form of the profile Swooshes, the Air Max branding on the leather-clad tongue tag, the “FFF” imprint on the insoles, and lastly, the Tune Air insignia on the heel. Additional 3M strips adorn the shoe on its center from the toe box along the throat. Final touches are applied by way of the “Nos Differences” (Our Differences) tags on the lateral.

Underfoot comes its signature sole unit with visible air bubbles along the midsoles. One more Tuned Air branding takes its place in the center below with the air bubble window at the rear framing the floral graphic inside.

The Nike Air Max Plus “French Football Federation” will see a 14th November release at Nike’s brick-and-click with a RRP US$175.
