The Nike Air Max Light was released to the world nearly 20 years ago when it enjoyed a small period of circulation before being overshadowed by its next evolution, the Air Max 90. Re-released for the first time last year and in various colorways worldwide and a few exclusive JD Sports colorways. The UK chain, JD Sports has a new colorway in white, black and laser blue, that should please most Air Max heads. Look for it at JD Sports in store and online soon.
Sneakers BR just put up a preview of upcoming Nikes for this Fall 2008, they include a pretty nice Air Max Light in black with shy pink and neon yellow accents!

And finally Blazer Metro’s for the ladies. Via SneakersBR

Our Friends over at Denim and Sole just sent us some shots of two new Air Max Light samples slated to drop late this Summer. The pair feature an fairly simple color scheme of most white with a big block of green or blue in the mid-body and heel area. Both also feature interesting patterns; black stripes are applied to the green pair while a few characters are etched into the blue pair. While these will drop later these Summer, you can cop the size 9 samples on Denim and Sole in the next few days.

This weekend saw the drop of this white, pine green and chlorophyll Air Max Light. The combination of the pine green and the little used chlorophyll works out pretty well on a mostly white sneaker. Most Air Max heads should enjoy the white mesh toebox. Look for this colorway at your local boutiques now, these are from the Rivington Club.

The Newark Eagles were formed back in 1936 and won the Negro World Series Baseball in 1946. This colourway of the Air Max Light is dedicated to the team, inspiring the White/Carrot/Varsity Royal-Black colourway and featuring their original logo on the heel and print on the insole. These are currently available at Size? and Nikestore.

Nike has just released their latest Air Max Light featuring and inspired by Native American culture and designs. The shoe features a mixture of materials and colors that make it stand out amongst all of the other Air Max retro shoes from Nike. The midguard features a nice pebbled leather that we saw on the “Stingray” and “All-Star” Air Force 1’s. You can pick these up now at Size? in the UK.

The US colorways of the Air Max Light has been less than stellar, Nike seems to have gotten closer to getting a colorway Air Max purists will like with this white, black and red colorway. With a white mesh toebox and a black felt mudguard this colorway comes close to what some of the original colors. The only mismatch is the black patent that seems to have been put on without reason but still not a bad colorway. They are available at Nikestore and eBay.

The Nike Air Max Light has made it’s return to the sneaker community, thanks to the good people over at Nike’s Sport Culture department. Now the Air Max Light will be released in this original Air Max colorway of White/Sport Red/Neutral Gray/Black as a JD Sports Exclusive. These shoes really bring the Air Max Light to life and the colorway is a classic, it’s too bad the only way you can pick these up is if you visit a JD Sports in the UK. Thanks to Chris G for the heads up on these.

Nike Europe just dropped a rain camo pack of Air Maxes, the above pictured Air Max Light and a Air Structure 91 Retro. The colors on this Air Max Light are a bit more appealing that the Air Structure’s but this AM Light could use a bit of felt instead of all that smooth leather. The bigger patches of the rain camo pattern definitely adds a bit more to the dimension. Look for both pairs of this pack at your local European sneaker boutiques and Niketowns but no word on any availability on US release. Photos thanks to NikeStore UK
