Neymar's Air Jordans? Nike SBs? Kobes? Here's our ranking of the best sneakers inspired by soccer in honor of the 2026 World Cup.
Zac DubasikAir Max Plus
The Air Max Plus, designed by Sean McDowell and released by Nike in 1998, introduced the innovative "Tuned Air" sole technology. Its signature wavy upper, inspired by palm trees and ocean waves, gave the sneaker a bold, futuristic look that distinguished it from other models in the Air Max line. Collectors prioritize the Air Max Plus for its unique combination of targeted cushioning pods that provide precise support and its standout design rooted in Southern California’s coastal vibe. Its appeal extends beyond running to urban streetwear, where its distinctive silhouette and vibrant colorways have cemented its status as a cultural icon.
