Catalog images often provide our first glimpse at a new upcoming model, but here’s a case where seeing them after a clearer set pays off with a much better understanding of what to expect at retail. The Nike Air Lava Dome 2012 has a refreshed sole a la Air Magma 2012, and thanks to the translucent green-bottomed pair we saw earlier this week, we know to expect a slightly spongey, somewhat see-through look on the other two colorways revealed in these images. Armed with our earlier close-up look and evidence of additional colorblocking possibilities, we can start to imagine what the future holds for the Lava Dome 2012, and you can see all three in more photos below.
