Nike ACG introduces a new tonal iteration of the Air Mada sneaker model for the season with the introduction of the Light Bone colorway. It is designed with inspiration from the past, specifically in 1994 when the original palette of Light Bone, Celery, and Desert Moss was launched.
It features an influence of retro climbing gear at the very core -- the shoe has black hues detailing the thick toe guard and continues onto the midfoot section and rugged outsole foundation. The Light Bone hue makes up most of the uppers and it is also detailed with contrasting hits of Celery seen by the lace loops section. Branding rounds out the shoe at the lacing, heel loop, and tongue.
