Editor’s Notes: One of Nike's '90s favorites, the Air Max2 Light, is officially back, now available in a fresh "University Gold" colorway.

The retooled sneaker weighs in at an ounce lighter than the OG, featuring textured mesh and white leather construction. Max Air tooling is of course present on the pair, in addition to a foam midsole. Lastly, the Air Max2 Light is appropriately branded with multiple Swoosh logos.

If you're into the "University Gold" Air Max2 Light, you can try for a pair today through Nike providers such as the UK's END.
