The Nike Air Max Plus “Gradient Bred” is poised to make a significant impact in the Summer of 2025, bringing considerable energy to the sneaker scene with a striking red-to-black gradient that some might say echoes the sinister style of Spider-Man’s Carnage. This iteration showcases a clear homage to the original design while maintaining a contemporary feel.

About the Nike Air Max Plus “Gradient Bred”

Its classic mesh upper transitions smoothly from black at the toe to red at the heel, a colorway that could easily be imagined on the notorious symbiote. The signature wavy TPU overlays, reminiscent of palm trees, are presented in a sleek black, providing the iconic structure of the Air Max Plus. Strategic red accents on the tongue and heel further emphasize the intense “Bred” aesthetic, perhaps even hinting at Carnage’s chaotic energy.

Beneath, a comfortable foam midsole and a durable dark rubber outsole ensure lasting wear. The red-tinted Air Max unit and the distinctive whale tail piece not only contribute to the shoe’s visual appeal but also offer responsive cushioning. The bold contrast of the sole effectively completes the gradient design, mirroring the stark duality of the Carnage symbiote.

The shoe retains its heritage with Tuned Air branding featured on the heel and sockliner. Overall, the compelling color combination evokes both classic “Bred” vibes and the menacing look of Carnage.
