I just picked up a pair of Air Max + 2009's and when I got home I noticed a red colored thread aroundthe top of the toebox area. I did some further investigation I noticed it was the same texture and color of the fly-WIRE on the upper of the shoe. It is justthread. It isn't any thicker or stiffer than regular ole thread you sew with. I took a picture for you to see. Sorry for the big pic, I just want to showthe detail. I'm not going to call it a gimmick per se, but it is definitely marketing hype.
