Nike TN Air Max Plus Marseille

These upcoming TN Air Max Plus from Nike are worth getting excited about, especially if you’re a French sneakerhead. It’s no secret that the French have a soft spot for the TN, a silhouette that has been embraced by a number of different cultures outside of the UK. This “Marseille” edition is brimming with great storytelling and hidden details, paying homage to the coastal city’s Cote of Arms. Serious TN collectors will know that this isn’t the City’s first tribute pair either, with the “Olympique De Marseille” edition that arrived as part of the French Derby pack back in 2018. It’s no secret that Nike has been stepping up its baby blue TN offerings this year too, with this release now joining the roster of other similar editions such as the “White University Blue”, “Black Baltic Blue” and “University Blue”. That being said, none of them come packed with extra details like on this “Marseille” edition!

Sat atop a white sole unit, the light palette and accented colours all lean into the palette that is visible on the Cote of Arms. A lined pattern wraps its way onto the mesh upper as a nod to the grid pattern embedded onto the silver field, adding to the sense of motion established by the iconic TPVU welded lines. Sat on the tongue is the cross of azure, here in the same jewelled finish as the typical TN Swoosh logo, with a standard edition hexagonal badge on the spine. Tucked underneath the set of white laces on the right foot are the words “Actibus immensis urbs fulget Massiliensis”, which translates from Latin to “The city of Marseille shines through his great achievements". On the left foot, the words “Marseille splendid par ses hauts fait” translates to “Marseille splendid in his achievements”, adding even more layers to the pair.

From far away, this iteration just looks like another clean version of the ’99 icon, so whether you’re copping for the backstory or the colourway, these are more than deserving of a spot on your rotation!
