Alas the Mayfly the insect with the shortest lifespan on earth seems to bear certain similarities to it's aptly named sneaker counterpart. As the new year approached we got the news to expect the release of the Mayfly LT a suped up version of the original Mayfly which was one of the best concept running shoes Nike ever produced. But the release has now been cut from UK release and looks to only see the light of day stateside if at all. It is such a shame to see Nike cutting really good releases based on commercial viability considering the size of their business model its hard to understand why they can't let something of such importance to lovers of trainers to slip through the net. Nevertheless this shoe is something special, keeping the insect wing patterning on the upper this time laser cut into a more premium upper than the paper thin originals, but in keeping with the first they still look fragile and are still one of the lightest and most comfortable models in existence getting your hands on these may be hard but will be worth it...
