The Air Max flagship series from Nike Running featured Flywire uppers during 2009 and ’10 and switched to Hyperfuse this year, and it looks like lightweight and super-breathable beats ‘just’ lightweight, as the Nike Air Max+ 2012 will again feature a two-layered Fuse upper. The silhouette’s rounded lines will remind some of the Free Run 2, but you get considerably more cushioning thanks to a heel-to-toe Max Air cushion. If the universe ends next year along with the Mayan calendar, does the Air Max 2012 represent going out on top, or was one of its predecessors more impressive in your eyes? Click through to see four colorways slated for Q2 ’12 and stick with Sneaker News for the Nike Air Max 2012 release date. via CK

The pattern on the side is a bit too overdesigned for my taste, simplify it a bit and you've got an alright shoe there.
Let's face it though, Nike shoe design peaked from about 87 – 91. AM1, AM90, AM180 and Huarache LE's will never be bettered. The technology might improve but everything Nike makes now is a bit ugly and soulless.

I'm a big AM fan, and I've been picking up at least 2 pairs every year, but I might pass on these. I'd kill for a re-release of the 2009's, though. These are trash compared to those.

A REDESIGN OF THE AIR MAX SOLE THAT'S WHAT

2009's are being re-released full force by Nike in 2012. Compared to the '09's, the 12's are shit.
