For years now, US Air Max enthusiasts have been forced to scour the globe/Net for Euro/Co. Jp/etc. Air Max exclusives. Many feel that the best Air Max releases drop outside of the US, and because of this, American Air Max enthusiasts have developed a feeling of hatred (read: envy) toward the non-domestic Air Max market. With the "Laser Blue" Nike Air Max 90 pinned as a Euro exclusive, this feeling only grew. Finally, the US market recently received a taste of what they have been missing for years now, the "Vivid Blue" Nike Air Max 90.
 
Though not quite the "Laser Blues", the "Vivid Blues" are a formidable replacement. The "Vivid Blue" Nike Air Max 90 features a Light Blue/White/Black upper on a White midsole and Black outsole. A sight for sore eyes for many, the "Vivid Blue" Nike Air Max 90 features a Mesh toebox and a Mesh ankle., conjuring up feelings of days past.
 
The "Vivid Blue" Nike Air Max 90 is available now at select Nike accounts for a retail of $92.
