Great fit- mediocre design
Hi! I’m a traveling photographer, mom & wife. I spend a lot of time walking, lifting weights and golfing with my family! The Nike air max has great potential and some awesome features, but I felt it was lacking in quite a few areas. Here’s my synopsis of the sneaker:Pros: this is literally the only sneaker I have from Nike that is sized to fit accurately! I’m a true 8, and this 8 fit perfectly! I was over the moon about that!The sneakers are also very comfortable. Definitely more of a casual sneaker, so I’ve been wearing them to the airports and they’ve been great for travel!I like the design of the zipper. Having it be stagnant really helps with noise while walking and ease of zipping. Though I do wonder what the whole outer zipper is really for? Design ... MoreHi!

Definitely more of a casual sneaker, so I’ve been wearing them to the airports and they’ve been great for travel!I like the design of the zipper. Having it be stagnant really helps with noise while walking and ease of zipping. Though I do wonder what the whole outer zipper is really for? Design purposes I suppose? I do think it would be good for those who want to make sure their laces don’t come undone.The design on the sole of the shoe is also very cool! I could see a lot of people liking that.Lastly, they felt really well made and high quality. I feel that if I wore them everyday, they would wear very well and last a long time.Cons: to begin, this style isn’t necessarily one I would choose myself while shopping. I tend to like sneakers with the laces showing, for aesthetic purposes.The all black style is also not preference. Makes it look a bit “chunky”. On that note, I also noticed they do look a bit chunkier because of the zipper layer. But I’m also tall and have very skinny legs, so anything slightly bulky is very noticeable. I did think that these shoes sound “clunky” when walking- especially compared to my other Nike shoes.The design also makes them look like water shoes in my opinion. Specifically because of the grey holes, black color, and material.Overall, to me the best features of the shoe were the fit and comfort! The design is what was lacking for me. Despite this however, I will definitely still be wearing them! They will be perfect while traveling and/or going out when in sweats!... Show more

Nike Air Max SNDR
This shoe is so me! Giving retro 1999 meets futurism. Utilizing neoprene-like material and zipper to match your wetsuit while you surf the web or get lost in the stream of consciousness.With a cool aesthetic and air max sole, the SNDR is perfect for day and night, city and sport. The outer shoe cover kept my feet dry during heavy rain, but also makes the shoe feel a little constricting. The double layer rubbed around my achilles after several hours of walking around in the shoe. Additionally, the toe box is relatively narrow. After 2-3 wears, the fit and feel was more broken in. A half size up might fit better.Cruising the city in the Nike Air Max SNDR, you’re bound to catch the eye of anyone with style. While I’ve never looked cooler, comfort could be improved. ...

Nike Air Max Sneaker
When wearing the Air Max Sneakers, I love the style of the shoe. The shoe has a tight but supportive feel to them. The two layers of protection with the zipper and shoelaces allow me to feel secure when walking and running. When I walked around the track, when exercising, I found the shoes to be lightweight and comfortable. The fabric gives my feet a breathable feel. I love the quality of the durability of the shoe. One thing I would change would be the design of the zipper, I would change the look of the zipper to fit more of an air max style. I enjoy how the shoes are transferable in setting with exercising and an everyday outfit. A very versatile shoe!... Show more

Retro Style
My first impression of these sneakers was it remind you of old school Nike, early 2000s. They are actually comfortable and the outer material is heavy duty. The laces aren’t necessary in my opinion as it’s in the way of the zipper. The zipper look is unique. I leave the zipper down, to show of the inside, the front of the tongue. The black color is great as I’m not worried about stains and the outer material feels rain resistant! The nice thing about keeping the zipper down is that your foot won’t slip out as the tongue is sewed into the shoe. I got a size 8.5 women, and it fits true to size.... Show more

SNDR shoe review
At first I was super skeptical to whether or not the nike air max sndrs would even fit but surprisingly enough they were a perfect fit and were actually quite comfortable. I liked how the vamp area was very soft and very light so everything fit comfortably and had room to move into and grow if needed. The design isn't exactly my style if I were going for points of fashion but if I were going for points for comfort and fit I would 100% recommend it. The fabric was absolutely soft where it had to be and rough when needed which was perfect since it had a mixture of both. I liked how sturdy the shoes were with the zip and the laces. I don't exactly like the style of the zip but it was a good add to make the shoes stay on better and not slide around. The thing I liked ...

The thing I liked the most and probably have ranted on about in this review is definitely the fit and feel and me personally I would just change the design, I also didn't love how much height it gave but those are also personal preferences! Thanks for letting me try out this product! Hope to be able to try out more.... Show more

Sturdy, comfortable, and unique
If you are on the market for a sturdy, comfortable, and unique shoe I would strongly recommend the w nike air max sndr. I have them in black and I really like the level of comfortable, style, and unique design that this shoe offers. It appears narrow and I was amazed the fit is true to size. When you place your foot in the shoe there is an inner layer with a shoelace closure that fits snuggly on your foot. I like it. And to finish, it has an outer layer with a zipper closure. I would strongly recommend these shoes due to their sturdy, comfortable, and unique build!... Show more

The Air Max Sunder is Nostalgic and a Keeper
The Nike Air Max Sunder is back and revamped while still holding on to its origin. I love how I do not need to sacrifice comfort for style with these shoes. Your foot is first encased in a breathable and cushioned textile-like material that molds to the shape of your feet. There is a second layer that feels like neoprene and provides more structure to the shoe while still being breathable. I love how the outer layer has a zipper and gives you the flexibility to style the shoe in different ways, depending on if you want to leave the zipper up or down.I am also on my feet a lot for my job and these shoes made an 8 hour shift much more bearable, thanks to the Air Max cushioning. Additionally, the reflective panels on the side are a wonderful addition. In the shoe ... MoreThe Nike Air Max Sunder is back and revamped while still holding on to its origin.

Additionally, the reflective panels on the side are a wonderful addition. In the shoe tongue area, below the Nike swoosh, there are the numbers 6 4 5 3 going down and these numbers spell out Nike which I thought was very clever. The detail and the thoughtfulness of the design of these shoes is on another level. The first day wearing these shoes, my coworkers could not stop complimenting these shoes. Overall, I highly recommend the Nike Air Max Sunder for its unique design and comfort, and it's definitely getting added to my daily shoe rotation.*One thing to note is that these shoes felt like they ran a little small. For reference, I wear a size 8 in the Nike Dunk Lows and a size 8 in the Nike Air Max Sunder felt a little too snug and tight, especially if I wore thicker socks.... Show more

The return of a fan favorite
These Nike air max sunder are like a blast from the past which we all know is in these days. The first time I slipped them on they fit like a glove. Although they did allow movement, I would be cautious if you have wide feet as the zip up outer layer doesn’t give a lot of width flexibility. These shoes fit true to size with other Nike Air Max’s. They were extremely comfortable for lifting at the gym and provided a great amount of stability. You can never go wrong with a classic black and grey combo. The zip up outer layer also ensures you will never have to stop your workout to tie your shoes. If you were a fan of the classic sunders, you will definitely want to add these to your collection....

***WARNING****
….. these shoes will steal your heart and quickly become your new fave!Great heel support and arch support. I, very luckily, live in Maine so, I’m always on the hunt for a training sneaker that can offer my feet comfort in any setting/terrain. These air max sndr exceed my expectations, I resistance trained on the beach and on the preserve trails with quite an ease it was amazing. Also, have I mentioned the design? Stylish and practical. The zipper served as a sleek way to secure your laces and ensure your were secured in while training and helped me ensure no sand got inside my shoe. I rocked these with my running leggings when training and with my cargo pants the next day out, I didn’t want to take them off. L-O-V-E!... Show more

w nike air max sndr (Black on Black)
Thew nike air max sndr sneaker is interesting. Putting them on I noticed that they are heavy. I wore them with no show socks. I wore them on a hot day and that was a big mistake. The sneakers lack ventilation and they were not breathable. My feet sweated a lot in them. I didn’t have to worry about tying my sneakers because I had the shoelaces zipped and locked away the entire day. I love the small air bubble on the sneaker. After I got accustomed to the sneaker it did not feel as heavy. The sneaker runs true to size and walking in them I felt comfortable. I went bike riding the day I put these sneakers on for the first time and traction on the sole of the sneaker is amazing. I would definitely wear these sneakers again with jeans. The color scheme of black on black ... MoreThew nike air max sndr sneaker is interesting. Putting them on I noticed that they are heavy. I wore them with no show socks.
