The Nike Air Max Plus Premium in “Black / Chrome / Gamma Blue” (IM9624-001) is a TN that knows exactly what it is: a black upper with chrome details and that electric Gamma Blue running along the sides. The unmistakable gradient, the shark-fin frame, the visible Air. In the Netherlands, prices start at [sz_price_from stylecode=”IM9624-001″].
Why the Air Max Plus is a cult classic
The Air Max Plus, commonly known as the TN, launched in 1998 and has been impossible to ignore ever since. Its wavy upper, inspired by palm trees and sunsets, combined with Tuned Air cushioning to create a shoe with its own subculture. In Europe especially, the TN is a status symbol with a street reputation that goes beyond the sneaker itself. Few models carry quite so much mythology of their own.
Is this colorway worth it?
“Black / Chrome / Gamma Blue” is a strong combination, I’ll give it that: the black keeps it wearable, the Gamma Blue brings that signature TN energy, and the chrome makes it feel a little more premium. But the TN comes in so many variations that every new colorway has to fight for attention. This one is cleanly executed and sits comfortably within the classic TN color palette, but don’t get carried away: it’s good-looking, not rare.
What you’re actually getting
A Premium edition, which generally means better materials and finishing than the standard version. You get the wavy frame across the upper, Tuned Air units beneath the sole, and the familiar gradient. The TN has never been a subtle shoe, and this one is no different: it’s a pair that wants to be seen. Comfortable from a distance, eye-catching up close.
What does it cost in the Netherlands?
You can get in from [sz_price_from stylecode=”IM9624-001″], which is a normal price point for an Air Max Plus Premium.

That mainly means you should be able to pick it up at retail if you shop around. The overview on the right shows you immediately which retailer currently has the best price.
The verdict
The Air Max Plus “Gamma Blue” is a solid, well-executed TN in a colorway that stays true to the model’s DNA. No surprises, no missteps, but also not a pair you absolutely need unless you’re a TN enthusiast. For that crowd, it’s a dependable addition. Check the prices alongside before buying, because with a widely available model like this, you can save a significant amount by comparing retailers.
