Size You Up


Max for the minimum...


Arguably my favorite Air Max model, the Nike Air Max Light (shown here in a Size?-exclusive colorway). Size? is a UK-based sneaker store.


The original version of this shoe was released in 1989 as a follow-up to the Air Max 1 (also knows as the Air Max 87).  It was initially called the Air Max 2, but was later renamed to "Air Max Light" since their air unit was lighter than the AM1 (accomplished by an alternative construction process of the midsole).
 

With successful re-issues of the Nike Air Max 87, 90, 93, 95 and 97 by Nike Sportswear, it was only a matter of time before the Air Max Light would be retro'd.


Rumored to only 500 pairs worldwide, this Washington Redskins-esque colorway features a premium suede upper, white nylon mesh, rubber panels, leather swoosh and an EVA-foam mid sole with visible air unit.
