Month: May 2023

Each year, Nike’s Air Max roster grows in celebration of Air Max Day on March 26. For 2023, this marked the introduction of the Air Max Pulse. Not to be confused with the similarly-named Air Max Plus, the Pulse arrives as an evolution of the Air Max 270. Since its initial reveal, several colorways have surfaced — including a collaboration with Field Trip Recordings co-founder Zack Bia. Now, it has appeared in a women’s exclusive “Light Blue.”Similar to its recently-surfaced look in all-black, its primary hue coats the shoe from collar to outsole. Reflective branding and blue-flavored whites and grays offer some diversity but the sneaker stays true to blue throughout. Its construction begins with a breathable mesh upper with leather spread across the extended mudguard. The shoe’s typical structured heel cage makes a return while a visible Air unit at the heel is joined by a foam midsole and rubber outsole to complete this pair.Stay tuned for release information regarding the Nike Air Max Pulse “Light Blue” as the Swoosh has yet to reveal any details. It’s expected to arrive in women’s sizing via Nike and select retailers by the end of summer at a price of $150 USD.For more of the latest news in the footwear world, olive and black colors have teamed up to outfit the Nike Air Max Terrascape Plus in a fresh look.
