WNBA star, Arike Ogunbowale’s debut of the Swarovski x Nike Air Max Plus highlights her influence as both an athlete and a style icon. Known for her dynamic performances on the court and her cultural impact off it, Ogunbowale brings visibility to the women-exclusive sneaker drop.
The Swarovski x Nike Air Max Plus collaboration brings a luxurious edge to the iconic silhouette, designed specifically for women.
The collection introduces two striking styles: the “Sunset” and “Moonlight.” The “Sunset” model embodies vibrant energy with a fiery gradient of black, red, orange, and yellow hues. Swarovski crystals are intricately embedded in the shoe’s base, enhancing the design’s gradient effect.
Meanwhile, the “Moonlight” offers a more subtle elegance with a black-and-white color scheme. The crystals on this pair are strategically placed along the overlays, maintaining the model’s signature wavy aesthetic.

Both designs showcase a seamless fusion of athletic performance and high-fashion craftsmanship.
The sneakers maintain the Air Max Plus’s hallmark features, including its visible Air cushioning and durable construction, while adding Swarovski’s signature crystal embellishments for a striking finish.
These elements not only elevate the shoe’s style but also position it as a statement piece for sneaker enthusiasts and luxury collectors alike.
