The grip pattern provides fantastic grip in many different conditions. The design has been inspired by the original Air Max 90 legendary waffled outsole. Combined top layers, extra eyelets and strategically placed mesh give a look similar to the original, Air Max 90. The mesh material has a thin flexible top layer that protects against moisture and makes the shoe easy to clean. The foam midsole with the Max Air unit in the heel provide cushioning with every step.
