After a five-year hiatus, the annual Nike Air Max flagship release returned to the year-designated model name in 2009 – and it certainly picked the perfect time to do so. Nike unveiled the new full-length and un-caged 360 Max Air unit on the Air Max 2009, and since then it’s been relied upon as the pillar of the rejuvenated Air Max franchise. The latest of the legacy is the Air Max 2012, that once again features the 360 Max Air, but with a completely re-designed upper that blends Hyperfuse and a inner mesh sleeve for a lock-down foot. There’s a full rainbow of releases for both the men and women (previewed in full on Sneaker News) so replenish your Air Max collection with the Nike Air Max 2012 tomorrow when it officially hits Nike retailers.
