The next Nike Air Max sneaker to get outfitted with the ‘OG’ treatment (What appears to be the replacement term for the ‘VNTG’) is the Nike Air 180. And, like the rest of the releases to trickle out with that designation this year, they will be showing up first in an original colorway. That happens here with the ‘Ultramarine’ look that brings in plenty of that blue tone along with some solar red sections. See more of the Nike Air 180 OG after the jump and watch for them at European retailers like Afew come March 20th.

Sneaker News is jumping back into the Sneakerpedia archives once again. What’s the topic this time? We wanted to give a little bit more shine to the Visible Air technology, Tinker’s brainchild that quietly celebrated its 25th anniversary as of last year. We dug through the various collections on display over at Sneakerpedia in an attempt to uncover some of the most revered, aesthetically striking, and technologically advanced vis-Air sporting sneakers over the years. The result is a visual history of the progression of Nike’s Air Max revolution from 1987 all the way up to 2012. Join us after the jump for a look at the sneakers selected, some OG and some not, and make sure you head to Sneakerpedia to see what other gems are waiting to be discovered.

Continuing the Air Max newswire is an update regarding the re-release of the OG colorway of the Nike Air 180 – the famed ‘Ultramarine’ that has been retroed several times before. The pre-yellowed VNTG variety (now referred to as OG) is due up for a release in stores this coming March, joining several other original Air Max colorways like the previously updated Air Max 90 ‘Laser Blue’ and much more. If you’re looking to cop the Air 180, stay tuned for a release coming very soon and let us know where these rank among the original Air Max releases.

An appropriate about-face to the Engineered Mesh update and Air Max 2013 nod, the Nike Air 180 OG lets us know what the original ‘Ultramarine’ color combo might look like were you to find the pair from the Italy x Industrial Light and Sound ad. With a midsole somewhere between oxidized and dusty, the beloved bright accent colors remind us how long these vibrant colorups have been the Swoosh’s signature. Stick with Sneaker News as we approach the March release date and check out some more photos below in the meantime.

Joining the ‘OG’ varieties of the classic Air Max models is the Nike Air 180 in the trademark ‘Ultramarine’ colorway. Slated for a release at Euro retailers this March, the Air 180 comes pre-treated with vintage detailing, notably the yellowed midsole and the oxide residue on the outsole. For those who rock 180s on the regular, you’d know that these shoes are rather prone to dinginess, so you probably already have your ‘OG’ in your closet, but for those looking to replenish their rotation with one of the best of all-time, your wait has been shortened. Are these a must-have for you? Let us know in the comments below.

Folks outside of our little sub-culture may be of the mind that designing sneakers isn’t exactly rocket science, but those of us privy to the tiny design details and tech triumphs that have gone down in the past thirty years of sneaker developments know otherwise. Taking some very special sneakers out of this world in their own right is illustrator Ghica Popa, who whipped up these slick interpretations of the Nike Air Max 1, the Nike Air Max 90, and the Nike Air 180. Click through with us for a look at each and let us know what you think of this bit of sneaker art in the comments.
