One of Nike’s most innovative sneakers, Air Max was first introduced in 1987, catering specifically to runners, The signature see-through Air Sole attracted the attention of consumers and runners, and continues to be a staple in the market. This season, the folks at Nike took cues from Air Max and created an original - Nike Air Maxim 1.

The new Nike Air Maxim 1 is 66% lighter than the Original Nike Air Max 1, clocking in at only 10.1 oz. This is made possible by both the Acespan Mesh that was developed in 2008 for the Lunar Racer, and also a new Flywire technology used in the 2008 Zoom Victory Spike. Available in a blue and red, the Nike Air Maxim also feature interesting translucent rip-stop nylon upper that is stylistically reminiscent of the see through Air Soles. Available in August 2009.

While there was already a midtop version of the same model named after the city, surely Beijing is big enough for more than one Dunk. The Nike Dunk SB Low “Beijing” appears in an eye-catching mix of teal, purple and red with a few grey touches. The teal suede overlay features some interesting patterning, while the Swoosh’s red contrast stitching and a translucent outsole complete the look. These are limited and sure to rut out fast, so act quickly and cop them now from Univ.

Originally released in 1992, the Nike Air Max ST was at one time the most technologically advanced running shoe on the market. Even with its innovative construction, sleek good looks and performance capabilities, the shoe never really found its way into the hearts of sneakerheads, at least not on a mass scale or in a lasting way. Those who were around for the original Nike Air Max ST probably remember it fondly, but its legacy has been, for the most part, forgotten.

Nike will be bringing back the ST in some new and original colorways this fall and now we get a look at the latest colorway sample to emerge. This version of the Nike Air Max ST “White/Black-Red” is similar to the original colorway, but replaces the Hot Red with more of a Varsity Red and breaks up the White plane with a section of Black wrapping all the way around the lower half of the upper. In Holiday 2009 (October) this colorway will be joining the White/Black/Hot Red and Dark Grey/Black/White versions that are due this fall, but you can play it safe and try to pick up this size 9 sample pair now on eBay.

The Nike Air Max 90 has been released in many colorways, it must become pretty tough to keep coming up with fresh new concepts. Nike makes it look easy with this latest version of the running classic. From the front, this Nike Air Max 90 looks simple enough, with a mostly solid black upper featuring a white midsole and some nice red accents. What really sets the shoe apart, however, is the cool black to white gradient coloring effect found on the mesh collar panel that wraps the ankle. This really adds a stylish touch and assures that the look of the Nike Air Max 90 continues to evolve. The Nike Air Max 90 “Black/Red/White/Gradient” are expected to drop at Footlocker and some other locations around the globe some time this April.
