With Nike ever increasing the size of their Air units, in 1992 the sleekly designed Air Max ST had the largest heel Air unit to date. With a larger Air unit, more support was needed and was offered by the use of Footbridge technology. The Footbridge of the ST included a post as well as the usual plate for superior support. Like the idea of visible Air cushioning, the thermoplastic Footbridge of the ST was visible and allowed for a more sculptured mid-sole. The Air Max ST also contained a forefoot Air unit.

thanks for the new photos.. grey pair looks too shiney, like its not the right material or if it is, its still not on par with the originials.. the white pair may be the only thing purchaseable. it looks almost all white. im guessing the grey is very subtle.. its the best worldwide nike can do however, so i guess we'll take it

Hope the Air Sole Unit "painted" area does not crack due to its shape over time (oval cutout) but in all likelihood get out the Sharpie marker & Angelus paint just in case

The black/grey/blue OG is the best cw still...

Anyone know the release areas? US only, QS, Canada/Europe, etc.?
