While the company continues to make new Air Max models for casual wear and lifestyle, it will be their older Air Max models that focus on re-issues, collaborations, and special editions. This will help ensure that consumers continue to enjoy the style and function of the Air Max sneakers.
Air-Sole technology ensures the shoe's longevity
The Air-Sole unit was first used in the Nike Tailwind in 1978. This high-volume unit provided cushioning for the underfoot. Frank Rudy developed the concept, and brought it to Nike in 1977. The original Tailwind sold out in Hawaii almost immediately, and later was released to the public. Air-Sole units were made to follow the shape of the foot.
The Air-Sole unit is made of several layers to ensure durability. The midsole cushioning is made of PU or EVA, while the outsole is made of Zoom technology. The upper material also affects the feel, durability, and wearability.
Nike continues to innovate in the shoe industry. Its Air-Sole technology ensures the longevity of the Nike Air Max Sneakers. The latest models have a lightweight, breathable upper and a durable, flexible outsole. Air-Sole technology is still the top choice for sneakerheads.
Nike continues to release new colorways of the Air Max, as well as updates to the Air Max. For example, the popular Air Max 'Wolf Grey' was worn by Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Far From Home. The full-length Air-Sole unit was visible on the heel of the shoe, and the shoe featured reflective uppers.
Nike Alphafly is the production version of the shoe worn by Eliud Kipchoge in the two-hour marathon in Vienna in 2019. It contains two Zoom Air units in the forefoot and ZoomX foam in the heel. It also has a full-length carbon fiber plate that varies in thickness depending on size. It also comes with a new ultra-light upper material called AtomKnit.
Women's Air Max 95 SE 'Cherry Blossom'
The Nike Air Max 95 SE Cherry Blossom women's rep shoes is a colorful design featuring multicolored uppers and speckled midsoles. The shoe also features a grey tint on the heel and forefoot, while purple and black sidewalls complete the look. The cherry blossom graphic is visible through the mesh overlay on the toe box and the lace loops.
The cherry blossom colorway on the Nike Air Max 95 SE 'Cherry Blossom' is inspired by the cherry blossom tree's significance in Japanese culture. The shoe also features Japanese graphics on the heel and midsole plates, which make it a particularly elegant design. The cherry blossom colorway will release on September 22, for $180, via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
The Nike Air Max 95 SE is a comfortable and stylish sneaker. The wavy lines on the upper and the rib-like lacing system evoke the human body. The midsole features a combination of suede and mesh that provides a comfortable fit.
Air Max 720 'Neon'
The Nike Air Max 720 'Neon Collection' is a new version of the Air Max 702. This model is based on the "Neon" colorway, and uses the company's tallest Air unit ever. This shoe also contains 75% recycled materials and features an upper made of Black and Neon gradient. The shoe also features Crimson Red accents throughout.
Its upper features jersey cotton mesh that provides breathability. It is also water and stain-resistant thanks to four different materials that it is constructed of. It also has plenty of vertical space. In addition, it is easy to clean, making it the perfect choice for everyday wear.
The Nike Air Max 720 is set to release in spring 2019. If you're in the market for a new pair, keep an eye out for this colorway. It has been a hit with sportswear celebrities like Odell Beckham Jr. and Heron Preston. The 720 also uses nature as its muse to create a fresh new colorway.
Designed for the urban explorer, this model offers a wide range of features. Its airbag is bigger than the shoe's upper, which adds to its stance and comfort. It also features a new, reworked lacing system and pull tab around the back. The high top construction is perfect for outdoor use.
