Air Max EWT - A Treat For Your Feet
For those looking for a clean, comfortable pair to wear all day, look no further. To start, I've always been a fan of the Nike Air Max line but have stuck mostly to 90s, 95s and 97s. At first I wasn't sure how it would compare, but thankfully I was not disappointed across the board. When you first slide your feet in, I instantly appreciated the way the back of the shoe hugs your heel. Sometimes shoes can feel too padded but the Air Max EWT was just the right amount. The bounce of the bubble was also nice, making outside walks with my dog and trips to the store feel comfortable the entire time. One minor drawback was it took a bit for the toe box to break in, so the tips of my feet were a tiny sore after the first wear. It felt fine the next day, so maybe something ...

It felt fine the next day, so maybe something that a different pair of socks also help adjusted. I'm also a huge fan of the casual yet sporty look, so I really enjoyed rocking these with sweatpants and a hoody on a casual day, but also paired right with khakis and a tee. The white material was also easy to clean off the light dust after a full days wear, even just using a baby wipe or damp paper towel. Overall, my experience with the Air Max EWT has been delightful and I would recommend it to anyone!... Show more

All-Day Comfort, All-Day Style
The Nike Air Max EWTs are easily in the top five most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I can wear these all day without a complaint from my feet, knees, hips, or back. I have not bought a pair of Air Max shoes since I was in high school because I thought I was too mature for the bubble look. This edition, though, is very stylish for people at all ages. They have a very sleek and clean appearance that fit with any Nike look I paired them with. My favourite time to wear these were at practices when I was coaching. I both looked like a professional coach and could participate in drills with my team. The fit is very true-to-size. While the variety of materials make the shoe look great, I did find that, especially with this white shoe, it was harder to clean. The ...

I like to keep my shoes clean, but with so many materials, I had to use multiple cleaning methods to keep them looking their best. This is the only reason the shoe is not my daily go-to. The comfort and support provided by the Nike Air Max EWT are second-to-none. I would definitely but these in other colours that are less prone to showing stains.... Show more

Comfortable Shoe
The Nike Air Max Pulse is a great shoe that feels really comfortable. They fit true to size and when I first slipped them on it felt as though I was walking on a cloud. With that said, I’ve been wearing these sneakers daily and my feet feel good throughout the day.I’m in love with the design of the shoe and the color scheme really makes it stand out. The pop of infrared on the logo along with the grey heel turns a simple design into an eye catcher. I’ve gotten complimented on these almost everyday since I’ve started wearing them. The material is very breathable yet sturdy. I can play outside with my kids and don’t have to worry about my shoes looking dingy afterwards and they’re easy to clean.The Nike Air Max Pulse has become my daily shoe and I would recommend ...

Didn't live up to my expectations/hype
I recently got a pair of Nike Air Max. I have always wanted a pair because of the cool aesthetic and popularity of the shoe. When I got them I was hyped on the looks. The shoe has a fresh, clean look with great color combo or black, gray, and red swoosh. The fabric looks and is lightweight. Has a snug but form fitting feel to the shoe. These looked like they were going to be turning heads while wearing them.Then I put them on...Unfortunately, the hype faded quickly. The shoe was extremely stiff in the heel and mid-sole. So stiff that when I would walk in them I would go heel-to-flat-foot stomp in one motion. At first I thought it was just a new shoe needing to be broken in. But then more I wore the shoe, I found that logic to be broken. It just wouldn't flex. ... MoreI recently got a pair of Nike Air Max.

Not sure if maybe I had a defunct pair or this is what all Air Max shoes feel like but definitely didn't meet my hype. The shoes could be cool if you plan to do very little walking.All that said, the positives are:The shoe looks awesome,The shoe has a great fabric that is snug, form fitting making it feel like it's one with your foot without feeling cramped or squished,The shoe fit true to size.The negatives:No flex in the mid-sole makes for a terrible feel when walking,Shoe is so stiff that it's not worth recommending to any unless they were just going to stand in one spot with them on. And even then, it would be better to sit because of the stiffness in the heel.... Show more

High Voltage, High Comfort
The new Nike Air Max Pulse is a new iteration of Nike's 'air bubble' sneakers they are infamous for. The Pulse takes inspiration from its predecessors and brings a fresh modern design and an updated silhouette while staying true to the culture surrounding its history with high comfort and high bounce.Nike boasts that the Air Max pulse has taken inspiration from the London music scene, which is known for its electric and deep-rooted history; this translates into bold accent colours, swooping layered designs and accent bar tack details that look cool but also bring a sense of durability for an otherwise light shoe.My favourite of the current selection is the High Voltage colourway, it is incredibly versatile and works well with a large array of outfit combinations ...

The Pulse takes inspiration from its predecessors and brings a fresh modern design and an updated silhouette while staying true to the culture surrounding its history with high comfort and high bounce.Nike boasts that the Air Max pulse has taken inspiration from the London music scene, which is known for its electric and deep-rooted history; this translates into bold accent colours, swooping layered designs and accent bar tack details that look cool but also bring a sense of durability for an otherwise light shoe.My favourite of the current selection is the High Voltage colourway, it is incredibly versatile and works well with a large array of outfit combinations and like the classic air max design they blend with many aesthetics and trends. The High Voltage colour way features a rich pomegranate red that contrasts well against the mix of cool and warm whites that wrap around the shoe. The design features various textures and materials in the build that all synergise well and look cool. The Air Max Pulse features smooth rubber, soft leather overlays, and textured fabrics on top of a soft breathable mesh base that allows freedom of movement and comfort for many hours.One thing that I do not like is the textile-wrapped heel section between the heel and air bubble as I live somewhere where it is typically raining, this textile area is prone to getting dirty quicker than the rubber and leather sections surrounding it and harder to clean too as you cannot wipe it down fully clean.The shoes run true to size, they offer removable insoles and a reinforced heel. The long laces allow ease of tying with ample string to work with. The 'bubble' wraps around the heel which stretches down to the midsole for a wider bouncier stride, the heel tapers out which gives great comfort and stability when standing and walking. The shoes are light and comfortable with standard everyday lightweight crew socks - and if you opt for thicker cushioned socks you'll get a snugger fit.One thing that may be a deal breaker for some people could be the thickness of the foam that tapers into the toe box, which can feel like your feet are standing at a downward angle than level against the floor. Personally, I like this design as it promotes more comfortable walking.When getting these shoes I was mindful of how they would fair where I live because in Scotland the cities are quite hilly and you can experience all four seasons in a single day. However I am very happy with the build of these sneakers, they are fantastic for whatever chores or events you wear them to. I've put these shoes to the test for I have spent a whole day commuting in these and completing errands, I have walked up and down big cities and even seen my favourite music artist live where I stood for long periods in line, danced my heart out in an open-air stadium with torrential rain, and walked back to my car to drive home and these sneakers provided much welcomed extra support and comfort with only tenderness in my feet after they were put through the wringer. No blisters and redness are an A++ for me.All in all, I recommend these sneakers, they are a fundamental design upgrade to the Air Max family while also expanding in a new modern design that I am personally drawn to. The sneakers are sleek, incredibly comfortable and work well with almost any outfit making them fantastic daily shoes. The build product is apparent and made well and I welcome newer iterations developed from this design. If you're familiar with the Air Max range or want to try out what makes these sneakers so popular, you will not go wrong with the Air Max Pulse.... Show more

MaX Review
As an outgoing and busy family, it’s always important that I have a shoe that is easy to get on, flexible, durable, and breathable. All of these things were met with this shoe.This air max fit very well and had enough room in the shoe to wear a true to size. Not uncomfortable pertaining to the tightness but I did feel like the shoe had a slight lift and forced me to walk on my toes. That part did take some time to get use to.The design was very slick and allowed the shoe to be worn in different environments and settings. Very nice design and really enjoyed the comfort provided by the midsole. The air bubble could use a little more give to it as it was rock hard and could have caused tip toe walking.The fabric was breathable and didn’t seem to stain as easily ...

I didn’t like that it made me feel as if I was walking on my tip toe at the front of my foot.... Show more

Modern Air Max comfort with Retro Elements
I’m a big Air Max enthusiast, esp for the retro models. The Air Max Pulse blends modern day Air Max technology with elements of retro Nike running models.FIT: True to Size. My feet are on the narrow to normal side of the spectrum when it comes to width. Fit is consistent with what I wear in most Nike models.FEEL: The Air Max Pulse features an Air Max unit on the heel, which is very reminiscent of the Air Max 270 sans the React Foam. The Air Max unit solo is decent. They’re comfortable enough to run errands, but they’re nothing really spectacular.DESIGN: Aesthetically, they’re basic. I do appreciate that they borrowed elements of a few retro Nike trainers and utilitied them on this model; Air Max Plus tongue, the Air Max 90 midsole from the mid-foot to the toe. ...

The mini Swoosh on the lateral side is a nice touch. However, I wouldn’t consider them if I wanted to stylish sneaker.MATERIALS: I do appreciate the mesh base, which makes the sneaker very breathable and flexible. The mudguard also feels sturdy and durable.CHANGES: The colorway is definitely something that I’d change. Although, the sneaker features Infrared / Radiant Red accents, they’re not my style. I like my sneakers to be on the brighter side.BOTTOM LINE: The Air Max Pulse is sneaker that features modern day Air Max technology while blending elements of retro Air Max runners. Though they are comfortable, their aesthetic is very bland. They’re honestly something I wouldn’t consider when shopping for a sneaker. They don’t have that IT factor. I think a good colorway could make them more attractive.... Show more

Stable and Comfortable
These Nike Air Max shoes are as comfortable as all other Air Max shoes - every step feels very comfortable and like you're walking on cushioned concrete/floors. The design of the outer sole of the shoe has a cool soft khaki color with lots of gripping points and makes it perfect for any training drills. The upper fabric used on the shoe has a rough texture and feels like a ripstop fabric of sorts. Feels very durable and it hasn't shown any wear from the use i've put it through so farOne of the most noticeable aspects of the shoes was how stable it is. It has a smooth-to-the-touch gray lining on the outside that wraps around the foot (seen in the picture, the area with the black Nike swoosh) and it is fairly rigid and feels like it helps with keeping your foot ...

The back of the shoe has a harder plastic that wraps around your heel and also adds to the stability. The downside of all these stability elements is that it makes the shoe heavy, and I certainly noticed it after wearing them for a while. I also feel like the shoe runs narrow than other Nike Air Max shoes as it felt a slightly more snug than other Air Max shoes i've worn... Show more
