Nike Air Max Light

Released nearly 20 years ago, Nike Air Max Light was seen as a shoe inspired by the great shoes that came before it, Air Max 87 and the Air Max 90. Like the Air Max 87 and Air Max 90, the Light was know for it cushioning which came from the maximum volume heel Air sole unit as well as the forefoot Air sole unit. Originally released in 1989 as the Air Max II, the Air Max Light was intended as a successor to the Air Max. It weighed less than the original, achieved by replacing the forefoot polyurethane midsole with one made from phylon.
