2017 Air Max’s styling is lacking sophistication this year.
This is for the Nike Footwear Designers and fellow Nike running sneakers enthusiasts. I have a medium to narrow with foot and I need great arch support. With that said I want I need a quality durable sneaker that's going to last, not fall apart in weeks. I need and want an exceptional glove like fit with excellent support underfoot and a durable upper that will last so once they start wearing out I wear my running sneakers as work sneakers for around the house. $190 sneakers should be exceptionally well designed and made! I only buy my sneakers in All-Black and multiple pairs, so I have backup when Nike doesn't make something that fits my foot properly. The best running sneakers I've ever owned are: 2002 Nike Shock NZs, Nike Shock Turbo 2013’s, Nike Air Max 2013’s, ...

I only buy my sneakers in All-Black and multiple pairs, so I have backup when Nike doesn't make something that fits my foot properly. The best running sneakers I've ever owned are: 2002 Nike Shock NZs, Nike Shock Turbo 2013’s, Nike Air Max 2013’s, *Nike Air Max 2015’s, Solomon's Speed Cross 3 GTX, All fit with total precision! Out of all the sneakers I've listed the best looking and the most comfortable are the Nike Air Max 2015’s! The Nike Air Max 2016’s fit wider they have a much more rounded toe-box and my feet and toes slosh around. They have gone too wide on the 2016's. The whole point of the Air Max’s is that they should fit like a glove and offer great support. Nike Designers should stick with the Nike template of offering a snugger fitting sneaker, and why not offer the same seeker in a wide version for people with wide feet, which I do NOT have. Don't mess with the formula, just offered two different widths of the same seeker. I found the 2016’s seems to be sloppy on my foot, I do like the longer tongue but there is nothing to hold the tongue down from moving around, there's nowhere you can slide a lace through to secure it better. The amazing 2002 Nike Shock NZs had a built-in tongue so it fit your foot like a glove. On an elite running sneaker I want to toe-box to be more pointed and to offer more durability on the big toe, the 2016's are so rounded and they lack a secure toe-box fitment. I loved the styling of the Nike Air Zoom All Out Flyknit with the Mid-cut collar that provided a locked-down fit and slightly more ankle support but it totally lacked any real support under foot. In Niketown standing and moving side-to-side I could have just rolled my ankle, not good! So sticking with the Air Max’s for durability and support! But the 2017's Air Max’s styling is lacking sophistication but I do like that the tongue is not flopping around.... Show more

Awesome Gift for Hubby
These shoes were a gift for my husband. He recently had an injury on his foot but wanted to still be fresh with Nikes. I surprised him with these shoes and he loves them. First pair since his accident and he won’t stop wearing them. They are comfortable for him and look great. He gets compliments on them all the time. I now want a pair for myself. lol... Show more

Comfy, nice look, squeaks
Comfortable fit, nice look- I wear them walking and casually. They stay clean and good looking.Negatives: the soles start squeaking loudly after a couple of months, although the shoe is still working fine. The tread wears down a little faster than I would like for this price range.... Show more

Fan of Airmax
My second pair of Airmax. I had squeaky noise as well, but I have found out why and fixed it. There's a tag attached with inner cushion, and when it is rubbing in between the shoe body and inner cushion then the noise appear. When you let the tag come out then the noise is gone. Just don't let the tag go underneath of inner cushion. let it out.The air popped after just ONE hike on easy trail. There was no obstacles whatsoever. But I guess little piece of wood chip stuck and went through the underneath of shoe, and it popped the air. I guess Airmax cannot be wore on the trail. Only for the paved road running.But I still like the Airmax. It is the all time best shoes for comfort and look. but not for functionality.... Show more

Nice Looking Shoe, but Way Overpriced!
This is a great looking shoe and certainly comfortable, like most Nike Air Max sneakers. I found these to have adequate arch support and the mesh upper very comfortably wraps the foot without any pinch points. But I find these shoes incredibly overpriced. After all, it's just a running shoe made with a synthetic mesh upper, manmade sole and foam footbed, glue together. If I were to provide that description alone, you would think I was talking about a cheap pair of running shoes from some discount shoe store. Granted, the quality is much better than what you would find in discount brands, but the technology in these shoes are at least 20 years old. The price is just unjustified. So if buy shoes just to flash the brand logo, so that everyone knows you spend a lot of ... MoreThis is a great looking shoe and certainly comfortable, like most Nike Air Max sneakers.

Pillows on your feet
These shoes are very comfortable. Great walking shoes. The fit is true to size - I did not need to size up at all. I love the style of these. I have the white ones, and the gradient blue to black. In real life they are almost more purple than dark blue, but look great either way.... Show more

Solid casual shoe
These shoes look amazing in person. They were true to size. They fit a little tight around the mid-foot because of the extra cushioning. The cushioning at the back of the ankle is a little annoying, but overall solid shoe! I got through my nursing shift with no problems so far.... Show more

Started to make noise after little use.
Things I like: they're comfortable, look decent even in jeans, kind of low key. They're definitely more greenish than grey and the front but of the shoe is more purplish in color. The Nike logo doesn't jump out at you and most people that look at them can barely see it.Biggest con: my right shoe started to make noise. Not really a squeak but more of a ruh sound every single time I step on it. I've literally only worn these shoes 4 times since they're only for the gym.It's been just a little over 60 days hope Nike will return them.... Show more

The best Airmax of all time, hands down.
My favorite Nike shoe ever, I have the white/grey and have had them for over a year and they look great still. They are not meant for running, obviously. I wear them casually and to the gym. I have gotten them very dirty and they clean very well with Shout spray. 10 out of 10. I am looking to get a the other color ways now. Great shoe.... Show more
