The model more commonly know by ‘TN’ or Tuned Air, was designed by Sean McDowell and has elevated to a cult-like status within the sneaker scene has long been documented since its launch back in 1998. The forward-thinking design, multi-layered upper, and the beloved ‘sky sole’ set the trend for that era and laid the foundations for various Nike releases that came after.

Well, the North London native breaks it down and shares his opinion on the various Air Max Plus models that would follow after and why they haven’t received much attention as far as retroes are concerned.

“From 1 to 10 what does the Nike Air Max Plus Tuned series look like? Most people don’t know, you hear TN and think there’s only one TN model. No, that was the first one and then a second all the way up to 10”
