Simple. Funky. Fresh. Pretty standard Nike protocol, I might say (for some models, minus the simple part).
Nike's new Air Max Lights stick to old school Nike styles with a hip play on the gold, black, and white canvas featuring the classic NIKE AIR (plus the swoosh) on the back of the shoe (don't forget the air bubble pockets on each side...sweet).
With the SBs taking over left and right, faithful Nike supporters need to step back into the Air Max flavour of the good old days.
These funky fresh kicks are genuine and true Nikes.
