Nike is adding heat to its Air Max2 Light rotation. The classic “Habanero Red” colorway sees the silhouette’s suede and mesh upper painted in a fiery red hue, elevated by white leather overlays for an even more striking look. Branding hits land in alternative colors, notably in black for the midfoot Swoosh, grey for the heel emblem and a contrasting teal on the circular tongue badge. The iteration sits comfortably on an Air Max-assisted sole unit, complete with the distinct visible Air window in green.

The Nike Air Max2 Light “Habanero Red” is expected to drop on soon on nike.com and select retailers like SVD for approximately $160 USD.
