Aside from the good food, awkward family moments and the potential to see your great Aunt Chalmers come stumbling out of the bathroom after downing a bottle of scotch, the best part about the holidays are the limited edition shoe releases that occur. May I introduce you to the Nike Holiday 2009 Air Macropus Lite QS.
Think the comfort of a regular Nike sneaker, with the styling of a desert boot, meets the colorway style of a New Mexican taco stand table cloth. Still with me? Check out the gallery for more from the Nike Holiday 2009 Air Macropus Lite QS.
