The 2010 World Cup is the biggest international sporting event today, and Nike has done its part to take advantage of the publicity. Along with the Nike Sportswear Six Collection, which already includes a selection of kicks inspired by national pride, these two colourways of the Nike Air Max Light does its part in representing their respective countries. The USA colourway features the patrioton red, white, and blue with a grey upper, while the Holland colourway showboats the boastful orange with “Oranje Leeuwen” on the tongue, representing the Holland Orange Lions, with a contrasting white mudguard/black midsole combination. Both pairs are available for pre-order at endclothing.

The Nike Air Max Light probably has the highest following-to-hype ratio.  We rarely hear about them in advance, but due at least in part to their often Euro-exclusive status, AMLs are among the Swoosh’s top cult favourites.  Here comes a new pair for spring, and despite the heavy use of black, they manage a warm feel thanks to the bright green and blue accent hits.  Almost an un-Huarache OG look here with the black base instead of white, grab a pair today from JDSports.

Here’s another sick Nike Air Max Light that’ll have some of your buddies looking to relocate to the EU.  As with most AM Lights, these joints are an European exclusive.  They have an old world sophisticaiton thanks to the simple, two-toned colourblocking.  Don’t sleep, though: these are anything but plain thanks to the carbon fibre-like texture that adds depth to the white mudguard.  That itself makes these too interesting to pass up, and luckily, they’re available today from Schuh-You.

It’s great to see that Nike Sportswear is paying attention to other facets of sports culture other than just basketball.  This AM Light, however, looks like it should be part of the Air Jordan 25th Anniversary collection, sporting different shades of grey along with some metallic silver.  Definitely a good look, especially with its mix of mesh and synthetics.  Available now at Hanon.

Let’s take a look at the Black/White-Varsity Royal color way of the Nike Air Max Light. This relatively simple looking colourway and shoe holds some particular detailing; the outer mudguard has super-fine perforations, otherwise unnoticeable to the passerby, and the ankle heel sports a color scheme with varsity royal decolorizing to white. The Air Max cushion is also Varsity Blue, which is a treat for aficionados of colored Air bubbles. Cop your pair via ID4Shoes on eBay.

We mentioned this in our description of that pair of Air Classic BWs earlier today: European exclusivity is something that both benefits and plagues the Nike Air Max Light.  On one hand, their availability makes a pair like this perfectly balanced mix of black/grey/blue very hard to get.  Then again, resourceful sneakerheads realize that a release limited to ‘international’ customers makes them more valuable to collect and even more impressive in the streets.  They’re available now at select European NSW retailers for those who love to hear, “Where’d you get those?”

Were it not for the internet, many sneakerheads wouldn’t even know what the Nike Air Max Light looks like.  You could also argue that the sub-culture wouldn’t be as big without the ‘net, but that’s another argument.  What is clear is that this latest pair looks dope in greys, silver and orange.  It’s sort of like a washed out version of the black and infrared palette we just saw on an Air Max 90 Current, and is currently available from England’s Size?

Now a full adult, the Nike Air Max Light is back in a colourway that strongly resembles its 1988 original.  This white, grey and obsidian base is enhanced by select touches of photo blue.  Knowing that this shoe itself is a European exclusive (as many Air Max Light releases are), it’s pretty clear where JD Sports gets alot of their design inspiration from.  Own the shoe that took the old world by storm and cop yours from Germany’s Purchaze.

It made perfect sense for the well-received Tecmo Bo theme to appear on Bo Jackson-relevant models like the Air Trainer series, but the concept has also been used on some less related kicks like the Blazer High, Sky Force High and now the Air Max Light. This Air Max Light model sports a White upper with Varsity Royal and Scuba Blue accents and a tonal pixel pattern printed on the toe and heel section. An added touch of Scuba Blue can also be found on the outsole to help complete the Kansas City Royals color scheme. Like with some of the other Bo-inspired kicks, his Tecmo Baseball likeness appears stitched into the tongue label. if you are feeling these kicks or are just trying to collect the entire Tecmo Bo series, you can find this Air Max Light version now on eBay.

Part of a pack including a crazy Court Force High, the Nike WMNS Air Max Light pictured above comes complete with a bright look for the hottest part of the year.  The white and metallic silver parts are relatively tame, but some of the silver parts feature reflective polka dots.  Just below the subdued upper-upper is a turquoise mudguard that contrasts perfectly with a bright yellow Swoosh.  The Court Forces are still AWOL, but you can grab these AMLights today from Purchaze.

Nike will release four new Air Max styles exclusively at JD Sports in the UK in August including a new Air Max 90, Air Max Light, Air Max ST, and Air Max 95. The Air Max 90 comes in a smooth colorway that has some similarities to “Pigeon” colorways we’ve seen from Nike and Staple. The Air Max Light comes to us in a Shadow Grey, White, Hot Red, and Blue colorway that uses nubuck and mesh on the sneaker. The Air Max ST comes in a more subtle and classic colorway of White, Grey, and Black. And last but not least the Air Max 95 comes in a triple Black colorway that features a graphic print on the shoe’s upper along with hints of Red. Look for all four of these to be released exclusively at JD Sports in August.

It seems like over the last few months, there have been a bunch of new Air Max Light colorways dropping and despite the shoe’s sleek look and classic appeal, the model never seems to get the hype and respect that it deserves. This latest Air Max Light uses a super-crisp color scheme to make sure that they do a better job of standing out among the Nike Retro pack. The shoe features a Black leather/mesh upper that is nicely contrasted by White toe and heel mudguards, as well as a White midsole and lining. A Metallic Gold Swoosh and accents finish off the look and add some nice highlights to the striking color blocking. If you’ve been letting all these fresh Air Max Light colorways pass you by, this pair might be worth a second look. You can pick up a pair of these now at SneakersNStuff and be sure to peruse some more detailed photos after the jump.
