Top 5–Nike Air Max Running Shoes

I love vintage running shoes and the most collected is the Air Max series.  They are the flagship running shoe in the Nike Brand and a have a loyal following for each release year.  I chose the 5 that I think represent the series best. The rest of the story after the break.

Nike Air Max Pegasus 92

Have I told you before I like Nike running shoes from the 90’s?  The Nike Air Pegasus 92 is one of the reason’s.  I love the black matte/silver/sangria colorway.  This is just a simple, great looking shoe; a little bit of suede and mesh wrapped up in retro running shoe. What do you think of the retro Pegasus 92? The rest of the pics right after the break.

Nike Air Max Penny 2011 Retro Release

I’m glad to the Orlando Magic getting the respect they deserve.  I have been a Magic fan since the team began.  The best days, until now, were with Shaq and Penny.  Penny was one of my favorite players and the guy captured a nation. Those days are over but, his shoes are still a part of sneaker culture. The 1/2 cent is a much loved shoe with sneakerheads; first the eggplant and then the cranberry.  Now the Orlando Magic colorway is getting the retro treatment and I am excited.  We’ll probably see these drop onto shelves in the next few months. What do you think of the Air Max Penny colorway? The rest of the pics after the break.

Nike Lunarmax+ Vortex

The Lunar Series is the newest Nike running sensation.  I purchased the Lunarglides last year and they are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Now Nike has stepped up their game by adding an airbag to the lunar sole mix.  The first colorway to pop up was the varsity purple and black, but it wasn’t until the dark grey and volt that I really got interested.  Also these have been constructed with a hidden seam, part of Nike’s new design standards. I think I have found my newest running shoe.  What do you think of the Lunarmax+ Vortex? More detailed pics after the break.

Sneak Peak: 2011 Nike Air Max 2011

This is one of the most highly anticipated shoes of 2011.  Last year’s redesign was an amazing looking shoe, but this year’s is looking epic. Gone is the massive patch of flywire and has been replaced with a net of support.  I can’t wait until these finally drop on February 9th. More pics after the break.
