For a couple years those 270s were everywhere but their appearances are dwindling down imo I never owned the 270 or the pandas and I saw a lot of those at Disney too
270s are definitely a gym shoe for me. Comfortable around the foot and a pretty stable shoe no denying the air comfort on the heel strikes not bad a addition to the shoe collection.
@RigginTheRod010 you're the type of guy to say people can't wear jordans casually cuz they're basketball shoes or can't wear vans casually cuz they're skate shoes 💀
I actually just sold my pair from the original launch release that was blue with the orange air pod heel and got $60 over retail for them. I still have my pair of Air Max 720's in the original black colorway that i paid $180, they are still pretty comfortable but it takes some getting used to walking in them after not wearing them for a while, I kept forgetting I have this huge bubble sticking out on my heel and kept dragging my heel, plus i hate that when i walk on smooth concrete or linoleum I sound like a horse wearing high heels.
Somehow when I got my 270’s on first release back in 2018, I felt like the foam was softer than the air unit 😕 anyhow, my all-time favorite air maxes have to be the lunarlon versions of the 1 and 90. Comfy but still looked close enough to the OGs. They need to bring those back!
I think it's the silhouette which is the reason why it is so successful. Also if you see a kid wearing all red 270s you know they are going to be a menace lol
Revisited mine today, I have the USA colors with the blue Air unit, not the red. They never blew me away but I do enjoy them more over time. Quite breathable. My gripe is how in the world does one wash this white upper? I’m concerned about the material underneath bleeding. It seems like all the best 270 colorways have this same white upper though…..once it’s stained that’s it, it would seem
I really liked my 270s but I didn’t wear them often I just found them too tight around the top, I have wide feet so I got the reacts too, much better fit and still look dope but crap quality, came apart after a couple months
i just got these for work as im standing all day. praying its a good fit for me 😅 i just returned the cloudtech for these bc those ones has a arch that my heel just can't get used to and the balls of my feet been hurting half way through my shift.
My 720’s are insane comfort, near the top of my Air Max collection, though I know the feel of them widely differs between people for some reason. Me, I wouldn’t mind seeing them every year. The one thing that concerns me is the Air unit seam near the toebox, there’s not as much flexibility with the 720 as with the 270.
As cool as these look, I've found the massive air unit on the 270s to be too much of an annoyance when I'm actually walking around in them. It sticks out too much in the back so I always get the feeling like my feet are dragging against the ground. Upon heel-strike, it also feels more like the air unit is collapsing rather than squishing or compressing like other midsoles (even other Air Max models).
Totally 100 agree....not comfortable at all. I tried different inserts to try to " level out" the heel to toe transition which is horrible. Nothing worked. Great looking shoes. I got several colorways and gobs of compliments every time. People love em. I just wear em if i know I won't be walking or on my feet much...lmao.....just not comfy.....but my airmax 90 collection i can wear for days and walk or run hundreds of miles....and hundreds of compliments as well.
Friend of mine has these, they squeak/creak every time he takes a step and it isn’t quiet 😅 Would drive me crazy. No idea if that’s a widespread issue or not.
My airmax 270 bought it on first release. Amazed with the new design by then. After 5years, Outsole on air bubble do not stick , so i have to removed it all. Plastic on heel also has a gap. Heel plastic base on air bubble also has gap. Crap shoe. Wont buy it again. Shoe glue save it😅 to survive. Im still using it.
Alot of those nikes are not real leather.. its plastic! I bought airmax with the happy face and the sole rotted off as i was walking, the front of the sole peel and ripped the fake leather, i was shocked it was cheap plastic! I paid $90 at sports authority.. nike is garbage!
