Nike H86 Futura Biało-czarna czapka z daszkiem | History of the Nike KD VI What the KD from2 Light
In light of the Japanese-based streetwear boutique Atmos’ collaboration with the Air Max2 Light in early 2019, an eagerness for more releases of the retro shoe has emerged in today’s sneaker community. Luckily, the underappreciated 90s silhouette was decided to be retro-ed after spending 25 years in the brand’s vault.
Originally introduced in 1994, the Nike KD VI What the KD from2 Light served as the offspring of the 1989 Air Max Light runner. Praised for its highly technical 4-chambered Air Max unit, the AM2 Light is one ounce lighter than its predecessor and became a cult favorite among Air Max fans of the 90s.
With a reputation for strikingly stylish colorways, the Air Max2 Light continues the tradition as the shoe’s prolonged hiatus came to an end in early 2019 when the “University Gold” colorway is reintroduced. The 90s running-inspired sneaker possesses a striking yet classic upper construct made from a fusion of mesh and leather materials.
