Nike Air Max Light “Mexican Blanket”
The latest to hit stores it the Nike Air Max Light seen above. Called the “Mexican Blanket” this Nike shoe features colors and stitching typically found on a Mexican Blanket. The colorway is limited and also has some patent & perforated leather, along with some stingray material. The white draws it all of the different colors and materials together giving it a nice solid look. I definitely don’t mind the look and I give Nike a nod on this one.

Nike “Houndstooth” Pack features three different shoes - the Air Max 90, Air Max 95 and Air Max 360.
All three shoes feature the grey and white houndstooth pattern with simple shades of grey and beige accented by royal blue. Though I’m not against the houndstooth fabric being used here, the royal blue makes this pack look cheap and outdated.
There are no major details about these shoes right now. But if you love them, ask your local Nike retailer because they should be available soon. Via Sneaker Freaker.

Sneaker News provides a sneak peek of four Nike Air Max shoes from the Spring 2008 collection.
There are three Air Max 1’s and an Air Max 90 in the group. The Air Max 1’s offer a perforated mesh toe box. All the shoes combine a variety of fabrics, including suede, smooth leather and patterned/embossed leathers.
For a slick looking shoe, select the white/cement/grey Air Max 1. This shoe looks great and features touches of red and black. I really love the grey suede in the middle of the shoe.
Another nice combination is the brown/white colorway of the Air Max 1. This shoe offers several shades of brown combined to created a very good looking shoe. This is the most subtle of the four shoes here, but I think it’s the best looking.
The third Air Max 1 is a little more funky. The use of black against the red and blue is nice and the white Swoosh really stands out.
The Air Max 90 in the set features a black/blue/white combination that is sure to please 90 fans. I’m not a fan of this shoe, but the red laces are a nice touch.

Nike just dropped the “Neon Pack” in Europe.
This pack is comprised of three shoes - an Air Max 90, Air Trainer 1 and Nike Shox NZ. All the shoes in the pack feature black, white, mesh and neon green accents. This is a color combination that has worked well for Nike in the past, and some sneakerheads might consider it a classic.
For a modern touch, both the Air Max 90 and Shox NZ have a touch of patent leather, which gives these shoes some shine. The pack is available right now in Europe, but there’s no word whether it will get released in other locations as well.
