As the skies start to brighten and sneaker rotations shift back into summer mode, there’s one silhouette that always seems to resurface right on cue: the Nike Air Max Plus.
Loud, unapologetic, and built for sunshine-heavy fits, it’s a shoe that thrives on color, which makes the new HOMECOMING x Nike Air Max Plus Pack a match made in cultural heaven.
Introduction:
For 2026, Nike is linking up with Homecoming Festival, Lagos’ annual celebration of Africa’s music, fashion, sport, and art. Founded in 2017 and now entering its ninth year, Homecoming has rapidly become a global cultural hotspot. Last year, the festival levelled up with an online store packed with heavy hitters like Denim Tears and Stüssy alongside a strong roster of local talent. Now, the HOMECOMING x Nike Air Max Plus takes that momentum and brings it straight to the sneaker world.
Design Details:
The colab arrives in two bold colorways: one with a black base accented by red, green, and grey, and another in Safety Orange with white, red, and green detailing. Both pairs feature a snakeskin-like toe fabric, layered over wide-gauge mesh, and finished with a thick plastic coating for a tougher edge.
But the real headline is the lacing system. The shoe is wrapped in an external cage stretching from the midsole across the vamp, topped off with three thick, overlapping laces, a clear nod to the lace-heavy design era sparked by Virgil Abloh’s Nike work. Each pair also comes loaded with Africa-themed accessories, including a shell, Africa pendant, and Homecoming charm, plus co-branded Homecoming x Nike Africa map logos on the tongue and insoles.
Release Info:
The HOMECOMING x Nike Air Max Plus Pack will debut at the Homecoming Festival in Lagos this April, with a wider release expected in Spring 2026. Retail is set at $190 in unisex sizing, and if history tells us anything, this one won’t stay on shelves for long.
