2012 is proving to be one amazing year for sneaker re-issues as Nike has opened up the chapter covering 1995 to 1998, which some may claim is the best span of sneaker releases in Nike history. The Nike Air Max Pillar is rightfully included in that span as this ’98 original took Nike Trainers to an unforeseen level with its futuristic design and Tuned Air unit (Tuned Air displaced different Air Psi in the Unit to conform to the foot form), and with the confirmed release for July 24th, the ‘to-do’ list for Nike Trainer fans is piling up! Priced at a hefty $180 (perhaps the cost of rebuilding the original mold) is one hurdle to jump over, but for some, the price is likely a non-issue because the Pillars hold that holy ‘grail’ status to a select few. A first detailed look at the Air Max Pillar in the OG colorway is just ahead, so enjoy the show and stay tuned to Sneaker News for all sneaker news and updates! Photos: itsb

The NBA season’s done, school’s out, but the sneaker-game is a year-round business, with the Summer-time being one of more emphasized spans of the year. This July and August is poised to be one of the craziest Summer release schedules of the last decade much in part due to the Olympic-inspired releases, but don’t overlook this first-time Retro release of the Nike Air Max Pillar in the OG colorway; it’s been confirmed for a release on July 24th, so be sure to circle that date on your sneaker release calendars if you’re making 2012 the year of the 90′s Trainer Retro! Are these a must-have for you?

We told you a couple of months back that this late 90′s trainer was on its way to a retro release beginning this summer, and as it turns out now the treatment will continue well into the end of 2012 with the stealthy colorway shown here. Previously known as the Nike Total Air Pillar, the moniker has been tweaked a bit for this set of retros-henceforth known as the Nike Air Max Pillar. Click through for the full look and let us know if you’re planning on picking these up in a year set to be jam-packed with similarly sweet trainers coming back out of the woodwork. Photos: TSG
