Maximum comfort and style. The Air Max SYSTM revives the retro spirit and trends of the 80s (without the parachute pants). The visible Nike Air cushioning is paired with a sleek, sports-inspired upper. The Air Max is always on top. Originally designed for the high performance running, the Max Air cushioning provides proven comfort. Inspired by the Air Max models of the 1980s, it has a retro yet contemporary aesthetic. The mixed-material upper is durable and breathable, while the rubber outsole offers long-lasting traction.
