With a fast-paced look, tried-and-true cushioning and classic wavy mudguard, it’s no wonder it’s reigned supreme since 1987. Mixed materials add durability that's made for everyday wear and city life. Originally designed for performance running, the visible Max Air unit provides all-day cushioning.
