You should cut some reps Travis Scott and real Travis Scott shoes and see if maybe the reps that cost 10% than the real ones are actually better. That could be a huge video.

The Netherlands was about the only country in the world where the Air Max BW was more popular than the AM90's because it was picked up by the Gabber scene at the time. Now the 90's is seen more, but at the time it was the BW all over the place.
Ex-Nike employee of 3 years here and it's so satisfying hearing this perspective. I got myself some 270's and learned firsthand just how impractical and uncomfortable they were. Naturally, I tried to share my experience with my customers to keep them from making the same mistake. I eventually learned over time that no one really cared how uncomfortable they were and consumers will justify putting just about anything on their feet , as long as they're current with the trends.
I tried airmax 270 react. I regretted buying it, but I fell victim to the hype and trend at the time of its release. I felt that I was wearing high heels. At the end of the day, my feet were sore 😅 Maybe this shoe works for people who can withstand the sloping design of a footwear and rock it comfortably, but I’m not one of them.
They’re comfortable to me. Which is a surprise considering how much pain I tend to be in over long periods of standing or walking: that’s more so than most because my feet are really big. Somehow, someway, this shoe has been pretty good. Bear in mind, I got these on sale, long after “the hype” died down only because by that point they were really cheap. I wouldn’t have bought them otherwise. The one thing that I definitely dislike is how much the air unit sticks out from the shoe. It can make the walking feel awkward. I got use to it though. What’s crazier to me are those that jog or run with the 270s. 😆
I genuinely want to see this channel tackle Adidas's 4D Fusio shoes. Maybe I got lucky with mine, but it's such a comfortable middle ground between the squishy-ness of ultraboost and the firmness of more traditional shoes. It's comfortable without feeling the ground is sinking beneath you with every step.
I’ve unfortunately never been able to wear many adidas shoes. Their sizes just don’t fit my feet. They’re either too small or too big & both give me nasty blisters. It’s weird as hell bc only adidas & olukai are the only brands I’ve ever had that problem with.
The air max plus might not be super familiar in the us but it's insanely popular in europe and australia so you would make many of your viewers very very happy and it would be interesting since it's a slightly different air technology to the rest of nike's shoes
This is spot on. Not a fan of the Nike Air Max plus myself (or tn's as they are called here in Australia) but they are possibly the most sold and worn shoe in Australia every year. There is actually a big debate here over quality of the Vietnamese made v Indonesian made pairs. Would be interesting to see a comparison of both
You hit the nail on the head. I thought it was just me that felt like my foot was always feeling like it was jammed to the front of these. I bought them a couple years ago, and yeah, they look good, but I almost never wear them. These were the reason why I gave up on spending that much money for Nike (for myself)
@@jamman950 and they may be to you, different peep’s different feet. Like, they’re ok, but for me personally, i did feel like my toes were getting crammed in the front after prolonged use. I still have them, i just don’t wear them often, if at all
I have had 6 pairs of 270 trainers and I have worn them all to death. for me probably the thing I like the most about them is the sock style, they are true to size and just really easy to slip on for everyday use. I wear a pair when we take the kids to Disney and never have sore feet after 20000 steps in a day. I find the upper much more supportive than my vapormax
I have plantar fasciitis in my feet worse in my left foot and haven’t felt it since wearing these shoes it’s as if I’m not on my feet at all. Took away all my heel pain.
Intrattoter455 please can you tell me precisely the air of the vapormax or the air of the air max 207 are higher ,they are more or less the same which is higher ??
Having had 4 pairs of these, I personally find them to be the most comfortable pair of sneakers. I used to be a big fan of New Balance, till I had to get surgery, yes foot surgery, due to the negative impact they had. The Nike Air Max 270 have been, by far, the best pair of sneakers I've ever had. I agree everyone's feet are different and some might just be accustomed to cushioning and wanting 'squish' but I found them so spacious, lockdown was great, no uncomfortable rubbing and never an issue since they came out of the bubble popping. They're a really subjective leisure shoe.
I feel the same way, I have 3 pair and they are the most comfortable shoe in my collection, I legit was wondering what he was talking about and thought he was just a hater but like he said people's feet are different
I have 2 pair and they both fit differently my all black ones are my most worn and are 1 of the most comfortable pair of sneakers I own and I own quite a few pair of sneakers. The white pair I own are comfortable but after a while the arch support in those ones start to bother me.
I bought soooooo many pairs of these. I have 2 in the black, 4 in the white, and 2 in the white/black/orange sail. I go to the gym 5 days a week and am also a runner and these are THE MOST comfortable running shoes I've ever worn, hands down. I tend to get shin splints and sciatic pain, but with the 270c Nikes, I have NONE of those problems. They are SUPER popular in the gym. I see SO many people wearing them, myself included. When I find a gym/running shoe that I REALLY like, I stock up! I'm hooked on these shoes!
Same here. I think most people get the wrong size for this shoe. Thats why it’s uncomfortable. Nike says to go up half a size on thier website. I tried it on in store and I had to go up half a size and they felt really comfortable.
I tried them on in store, and can’t understand how people are wearing them in the gym. That feeling of leaning forward seems like it would throw you off during leg workouts and be a thing you actively need to compensate for.
@@varcity23 that’s they key with Nike . I got the exact same size on some lebrons and those were hurting .bought the exact shoes in a different color way and a size up and there where so comfortable
I can’t agree more. I bought these a few years ago and have only worn them a few times because your foot is on such an incline that your toes are driven to the front of the shoe and you’re in constant pain after only a little bit of wearing them.
Wow, this is crazy - I could anticipate everything you were going to say, because I had the exact same experience with these shoes - just unwearable for me for the exact reasons in this video. Thank you!
It'll be very interesting to see the insides of air max 720 (I bet they're even worse than 270). But it actually would be great if you reviewed pretty much all of main air maxes , meaning the am 90 , am 97 , am 180 , am TN plus , am 360 and maybe am 2013 (well yeah , I'm asking too much😅).
I don't think so. I own 2 pairs of 720s and they're definitely not as bad as the 270s. I think the reason for this is that the air unit wraps around the entire midsole and in the middle is foam so it stabilizes the shoe. Also the way the upper is made on the 720 helps prevent your foot from sliding forward. I love the fit of the uppers on my 720s, they really hug your feet. I went true to size with my 720s whereas with my 270s I had to go a half size up because of how much my feet slid forward.
@@NonLegitNation2I have 720s also and they're much less sloped than the 270s. I tried on the 270s and hated them also for how much forward they put my toes.
I just recently had the 270 golf model ,I liked it because it has a rubberized coating over it,to repel dirt etc,liguids, they were all white ,with logo black ,so nice i regret letting them go,the golf tread was perfect for light duty walking on tile etc,walking, beautiful shoe,yes their lifestyle shoe for sure
Hey Weston! I don’t usually comment on videos but I’m really enjoying this Air Max series :) Also the editing seems to get better every single video, keep it up guys!!
Would love to see the 2017 Air Max w full length air.. Have always thought that was the best utilization of the Air.. Lebron also used it in his 8 & 9’s…
I have a room full of shoes and these are up there on comfortable shoes for me. I like them. The cut profile is funny, logically they should not be comfortable but they are on my foot. Keep on cutting, great videos.
I liked the 270, but it wasn’t ever a go-to necessarily. The follow-up model, the crazy 720, has a wild slope too but that’s one of my favorite and most comfortable sneakers I own. Different feet, lifestyles, walking styles will be different. There’s other feedback online from people who really dislike the drop as well, whereas others will swear by this shoe. I think one reason this one blew up more than some other models was that they went absolute ham on the colorways for this, there’s like 50 different ones and they all look pretty amazing. I enjoy the releases following in the 270’s footsteps like the 270 Futura and the recent Pulse, which you would probably like. The 270 itself is average for me, not great nor awful.
Quite awful. Shitty upper, gimmicy tech and feels like your feet are being pushed into the toe box. They also look really bad IMO. the 720 look good but still same issue with the toe box
This probably won't get the top voted, but I hated this shoe the most with all Air Maxes... I'm a sneakerhead and AM fan, so I have a ton of different AM silhouettes and I can confidentially say the 720 is the worst AM ever.
you are absolutely correct regarding why these shoes are bad. I bought a pair when they first came out years ago and I had the exact problem you describe. My foot was constantly sliding forward in the shoes. I ended up selling my pair after a few months of them just sitting around and me not wearing them.
Not as part of this series, but the Nike Tailwind '79 would be a cool one to see cut in half since that is the first shoe to feature Nike Air. Just to SEE how that tech started.
Plus those original, full-length Air units I can feel far better than a usual Air Max as it's barely felt. I weigh between 140 to 150 lbs, and those full length Air units I can feel, whereas the Air Max units were meant for to encourage more running to lose weight so someone around 180 lbs and beyond would feel it much more than your average 150 pound build. If anything, Zoom Air is much better for people weighing 150 and below for a bouncy and snappy response!
I was gifted this pair for my birthday by my girlfriend. Well it has looks to die for, we all agree. They felt comfortable at first. Until I removed them in the evening and I was feeling a nonstop sharp pain in my lower back near the spine. I didn't associated the pain to the shoe until I wore it a few more times and discovered that exact pain everyday I wore the shoe. I bought asics GT 2000 an older design and I can't stop wearing them extremely comfortable.
I know I'm surprised by this and all the comments to be honest. They are soo comfortable for me. I've been wearing them for years and have them in multiple colors lol. I can work on my feet for hours in them and feel great compared to other shoes.
Thank you for doing a review on these. I used to wear these and my feet were always in so much pain after using a treadmill. I couldn’t understand why. I switched over the the Nike Zoom Pegasus 37 and it was a game changer!
I'd propose doing a review of the Air MaxPlus that Nike released initially in 1998. They're rebranded as the Air Max TN now. To play up the "Tuned Air" name. Supposedly an improved Air Max technology.
I’m a total Nike Air Max fanboy, and I bought my first pair of 270’s 5 years ago when they released. At the time I got these, I had a knee injury that I was working through,but because the bubble stuck so far out, my natural stride was being blocked by this extra inch of heel air bubble and it ended up hurting my knee more. I stopped wearing them. Now, I didn’t want to make my ultimate judgement of the shoes a negative one because I was injured at the time, and I’ve bought another pair, but you’re right in expressing concern in this design. It’s high, foot slides, but that huge air bubble also does affect a natural stride, too, which could lead to legitimate problems in the future.
I have two airmax 270 and have used it until it broke, and I can say that for my wide feet and heavy built, this shoe is really really comfortable for me. Even with hours walking with it, I never felt any pain on my toes or whatsoever. I guess, it really depends on how your feet structure is, how heavy you are and how your walking posture is where it really matters.
I have wide feet and I hate how these shoes fit. Maybe there is a wide toebox option that I am missing - but these are just narrow and uncomfortable compared to any Adidas.
You also have to realize for track, the shoe is supposed to be snug around your foot therefore causing your foot to feel lighter. It is also better for your foot to be raised at the back (for track). Considering that fact that you said, these shoes are for walking only? / everyday shoes? In that case I agree with most of wat you said. In my view, I feel as though these shoes give an appealing look to run. My opinion, your opinion. :) Have a great day.
I love the way 270s look but i remember actually putting them to the test with 10-12 hrs on my feet. They failed. Still gonna to wear them, but I know its a style choice.
Fantastic series, Weston! Much appreciated your work. I would love to see some Puma’s trinomic “teardown”, like TRC Blaze / Blaze of Glory Premium or the basketball shoe with the same tech.
Amazing stuff! Saved my money & wife's feet! She like other people got caught into the looks & was forcing me to place an order before size & stock runs out. Thank fully this video saved me & her. Keep doing this great work.
Nailed it. I agree 100% with everything you said in this video! Looks great and has a big, squishy bubble, but the forward-slope just ruins the experience for me.
I bought a pair in 2019. I've worn that same pair of 270s to Vegas more than 10 times, walking 30+ miles every time im there. Not to mention, I play basketball in them at home and go on walks. Never ever worried about popping them and I still wear them to this day.
I just ordered one. My basis was I got a used one and it is honestly is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! If there are better shoe then I haven't worn them. It is also the most expensive shoe I have ever bought. But from what I have experienced with the used ones I for sure know I wouldn't be disappointed. The only negative thing is when the air unit pops. Then it is almost unusable.
OMG! I thought it was just me. I've always hated how this shoe felt and I never understood why everyone said it's very comfortable. I've never liked any of the 270 series shoes for the same reasons. Thanks for confirming it! 🍻
I'd love to see the Air Max Sequent 3 cut in half, because it genuinely feels really good, because it's built for running and thus almost feels like a barefoot shoe in the toebox. Also I'm a big fan since I've found your channel with the Converse cut in half videos and you're the reason why I ordered 70s chucks and you also brought me to the barefoot shoes. And in general I really enjoy your videos, it's interesting to know the structure of shoes and how the shoe companies make false claims.
that’s all weird to me. I bought the shoe knowing nothing about the hype around it and while it took me a week or so to get used to the arch and profile I did not have any of the issues you mentioned and I can convincigly say these are the most comfortable everyday shoes I have ever owned (granted that there might not have been any serious competitors but still they are very comfortable for me). No issues with sliding forward or anything like that in my case
The most worst part is that they still cost over 150 box and when i was wearing them half a year i noticed my foot bone coming out in front of the shoe's thin overlay. Love the design of the shoe but nike should give it an update.
I've got a pair of 720 - I think it was the successor to the 270. Very similar heel design, but the air unit wraps around into the forefoot. And one of them popped. Put them on one day and immediately felt the difference, were completely unwearable. No stability at all, so might be worth cutting a pair of these up and testing. Has to be more air volume!
I feel that these shoes really shine after you've worn them in for a couple days. Maybe that's too much for most casual shoe ppl, but I LOVE these shoes.
i tried them on last year and learned in 5 seconds what you just learned. it didnt feel squishy or soft at all. wierdly ive been saving my uncomfortable shoes by switching the insole with a carbon fiber hard insole and its amazing. my foot doesn't get tired anymore at the end of the day!
Bought these when they first came out. I returned them after 2 weeks. Good thing Nike has a 30 day no ask return policy. The shoe did exacly every you explained. The drop was so bad that my toes were pushed to the front and I always 1/2 size up. Also, there was 0 comfort compared my other shoes.
Hey I think it would be great to review the Air More Uptempo. The Uptemo was the quintessential 90's Nike Air shoe. It is so loud and in your face it even says "Air" in hugh letters on the side. When I was growing up, the cool kids got these in the OG black color. I wanted them more than anything, and finally at 40 years old, I got a pair. Do I feel a bit ridiculous at times? Yes, but I've never owned a shie that makes me literally smile! I also think it's perfect for your air review system, three air units disguised as one, unique plastic eyelets, and some actual come in leather.
Finally!!!!! THE TRUTH!! I have very arched feet and these sneakers & 720 are ridiculously UNCOMFORTABLE…as you said about the foot sliding to the front & no support on the back heel is exactly what I feel.. I literally walked 5 miles in these sneakers today & I can’t wait to rip these off my feet & return to Nike ASAP. You are the only reviewer that talks about the real comfort of these sneakers. Maybe there better on flat feet but definitely NOT ON MINE 😂
For Jordan July, I nominate the J-Balvin Jordan 2. It has a light up feature in the tongue, but there is no way to change the batteries. Some people say they might charge from walking motion. Would be cool to see.
Bought these when they first came out garbage shoes like a 30mm heal to toe drop just a air max zero with a air bag glued on. 1.0 Vapormax was 100x better. Ultraboost are still the best shoes ever imo. Do the Flyknit max.
The Tuned part of the Air Max Plus 1s is just the inner side of the heel. The AM Plus 2 and 3 have whole heel Tuned Air... well the originals did at least.
Would love to see you break down the Air Structure 91. It’s an air max model that was made as a stability running shoe. Stability shoes today are pretty decent to run in for everyone but back in the day they would destroy your feet/ankles/knees if they didn’t line up with ones gait. Also the structure just looks really cool
So the Air Max One Big Bubble, a shoe originally released in 1986, is made better and has better arch and foot support than the Air Max released only back in 2018. Looks like I’ll be sticking with my Air Max One Big Bubble then. Comfortable and actually has decent foot and arch support. Great vid as always!
wore a version of these for a couple days of work in the hospital and my feet, ankles, knees and back were killing me. i thought i was going crazy. replaced them with some asics Gel Kayanos. thanks for breaking it down.
for anyone interested, I bought it when it came out because I liked them immediately. I changed them last year because having bought them white they became gray over time, the stickers (therefore the numbers) started to come off. over time the plastic sole started to become hard and uncomfortable. last washing often the shoe has shrunk. for those with raised thumbs I made the hole in the shoe after about 4 years (the shoe lasted the longest of all)
Could you take a look at the Nike TN (Air Max Plus)? I know that shoe has marketed the shank plate and stability channels for a while, but the upper has helped my mom with neuropathy post-chemo. Keep up the incredible content!
I couldn’t agree more with your review. It is spot on. My brother has a few pairs of these and swears by them. I tried them on and had the same reaction. Heel sits up really high and the decline toward the toe box/forefoot is ridiculous with no arch support whatsoever. I couldn’t imagine wearing these for any length of time let alone spending the money that they charge for them. Definitely one of the most uncomfortable and awkward pair of shoes I’ve ever put on.
I'm an Adidas guy and until recently hadn't owned a pair of Nike's since the 90's. I've suffered with plantar fasciitis (heel pain) for the past 6 months and went looking for new sneakers. The Air max 270's were just calling out to me and I made the purchase. As soon as I start walking in these my plantar pain just goes away. For me, Adidas Gazelle's have always been the most comfortable sneaker, but the Air max 270's have taken the top spot.
I tried wearing the Air Force 270s around years ago and to be fair this might be a provlem specific to those shoes but am I the only one who has their HEELS hurt by these bubbles as opposed to the toes? Ive always found it a bit weird. Amazing video!! Very high effort and classy presentation to boot (ha)!
I’d really be interested in seeing you cover more of Hoka’s shoes to compare against Nike, etc. The way the air unit in this shoe is placed really reminds me of the “Hubble Butt” that Hoka favors. A friend convinced me to try Hoka’s Gaviota 4, which is currently the most comfortable shoe I’ve owned, although it took a bit of getting used to the junk in the trunk while going down stairs.
I can’t agree more with you regarding the uncomfort these shoes have. Not only that the feet slide to the front, but also the heel touches the ground way too early.
Bust open a Jordan 14 for July! They are the most comfortable Jordans from the retros that Mike played in (Retro 1-14). It seemed like the 10-14 silhouettes got more comfortable every year and I always wondered how they improved the tech during that time.
Yes, 100%. I knew you’d say they’re too raked to be comfortable. I imagine this is similar to walking in heels. I haven’t worn these, but I have the Air Max pre-day and this is the same feeling I have with those. First pair of uncomfortable air max I’ve ever owned.
As of now, I have owned 3 pair of these 270s. I walk and work on concrete floors everyday. They have been my fav work shoe thus far in terms of all day comfort. I'm also very flat footed. No arch so maybe that's why, idk but to me they seem a lot more comfortable over any other shoe I have bought to work in.
When I owned this pair, the strange thing for me was that I thought the foam on the front half was much more comfortable than the rear half with the air unit.
I had a pair of 270's because of the gaslighting as well They were not even remotely close to as comfortable as the dozens of different Adidas Boosts I've had or Hoka. And, just like every other pair of Nike's with air units, they popped for me and made all sorts of noises after that, and constant would get water inside the air unit because I live in South Florida and it's constantly raining
I used to be a sneaker guy in high school but now I just wear NB 990's until they're dead. Still, the most comfortable shoe are the ultraboost 1.0's. The foam lasts so incredibly long too. It's a real shame they don't increase the thickness of the tread because I could wear them for years if they just didn't wear through.
My sister has some and hers are a bit old, so she bought new ones. She chose em because they are the most comfortable shoe she walked in, but she immediately send her new ones back, because they had a completely different feeling. Might be that comfort comes with time or quality just lacks nowadays.
Love to see a cut up of the Air Max 2017 as I have a pair and feel like how you mentioned the 270s. Comfortable in the beginning but end of the day my soles hurt like lack of arch support.

My fav shoe all time is the ultra 4dfwd. It’s right between soft and support
But they're way too heavy
Do 4Ds last for everyday wear? I wear ultraboost at the moment and I'd like to swap to 4D but am worried about longevity
The air max plus might not be super familiar in the us but it's insanely popular in europe and australia so you would make many of your viewers very very happy and it would be interesting since it's a slightly different air technology to the rest of nike's shoes
I see like 25% of wear this and crocs in wear I live in the U.S its insanely popular.
Air max plus is a NYC Staple

Europe and Australia get way better iterations n colorways of the Air Max plus Tn line for sure

@@jamman950for me, they are very comfortable. But everyone is different. Nothing works for everybody.
I have had 6 pairs of 270 trainers and I have worn them all to death. for me probably the thing I like the most about them is the sock style, they are true to size and just really easy to slip on for everyday use. I wear a pair when we take the kids to Disney and never have sore feet after 20000 steps in a day. I find the upper much more supportive than my vapormax
I have plantar fasciitis in my feet worse in my left foot and haven’t felt it since wearing these shoes it’s as if I’m not on my feet at all. Took away all my heel pain.
Intrattoter455 please can you tell me precisely the air of the vapormax or the air of the air max 207 are higher ,they are more or less the same which is higher ??
I hope you can do the air max 90s next !
It has to be. That’s the classic of classics.
Yes please, your techno and electro audience needs to see the insides 😂
Air max 90 and 87 are basically the same
My black Air max 90s off-white are my favorite Air maxes
I’ve had 2, both fell apart before even a year
Having had 4 pairs of these, I personally find them to be the most comfortable pair of sneakers. I used to be a big fan of New Balance, till I had to get surgery, yes foot surgery, due to the negative impact they had. The Nike Air Max 270 have been, by far, the best pair of sneakers I've ever had. I agree everyone's feet are different and some might just be accustomed to cushioning and wanting 'squish' but I found them so spacious, lockdown was great, no uncomfortable rubbing and never an issue since they came out of the bubble popping. They're a really subjective leisure shoe.
I feel the same way, I have 3 pair and they are the most comfortable shoe in my collection, I legit was wondering what he was talking about and thought he was just a hater but like he said people's feet are different
I have 2 pair and they both fit differently my all black ones are my most worn and are 1 of the most comfortable pair of sneakers I own and I own quite a few pair of sneakers. The white pair I own are comfortable but after a while the arch support in those ones start to bother me.
I got 4 pairs of triple black, still on first pair 2 years later
I bought soooooo many pairs of these. I have 2 in the black, 4 in the white, and 2 in the white/black/orange sail. I go to the gym 5 days a week and am also a runner and these are THE MOST comfortable running shoes I've ever worn, hands down. I tend to get shin splints and sciatic pain, but with the 270c Nikes, I have NONE of those problems. They are SUPER popular in the gym. I see SO many people wearing them, myself included. When I find a gym/running shoe that I REALLY like, I stock up! I'm hooked on these shoes!
Same here. I think most people get the wrong size for this shoe. Thats why it’s uncomfortable. Nike says to go up half a size on thier website. I tried it on in store and I had to go up half a size and they felt really comfortable.
I tried them on in store, and can’t understand how people are wearing them in the gym. That feeling of leaning forward seems like it would throw you off during leg workouts and be a thing you actively need to compensate for.
@@varcity23 that’s they key with Nike . I got the exact same size on some lebrons and those were hurting .bought the exact shoes in a different color way and a size up and there where so comfortable
I can’t agree more. I bought these a few years ago and have only worn them a few times because your foot is on such an incline that your toes are driven to the front of the shoe and you’re in constant pain after only a little bit of wearing them.
Wow, this is crazy - I could anticipate everything you were going to say, because I had the exact same experience with these shoes - just unwearable for me for the exact reasons in this video. Thank you!
It'll be very interesting to see the insides of air max 720 (I bet they're even worse than 270). But it actually would be great if you reviewed pretty much all of main air maxes , meaning the am 90 , am 97 , am 180 , am TN plus , am 360 and maybe am 2013 (well yeah , I'm asking too much😅).
I don't think so. I own 2 pairs of 720s and they're definitely not as bad as the 270s. I think the reason for this is that the air unit wraps around the entire midsole and in the middle is foam so it stabilizes the shoe. Also the way the upper is made on the 720 helps prevent your foot from sliding forward. I love the fit of the uppers on my 720s, they really hug your feet. I went true to size with my 720s whereas with my 270s I had to go a half size up because of how much my feet slid forward.
You forgot the air max alpha trainer 5
@@NonLegitNation2I have 720s also and they're much less sloped than the 270s. I tried on the 270s and hated them also for how much forward they put my toes.

I just recently had the 270 golf model ,I liked it because it has a rubberized coating over it,to repel dirt etc,liguids, they were all white ,with logo black ,so nice i regret letting them go,the golf tread was perfect for light duty walking on tile etc,walking, beautiful shoe,yes their lifestyle shoe for sure
Hey Weston! I don’t usually comment on videos but I’m really enjoying this Air Max series :) Also the editing seems to get better every single video, keep it up guys!!
Would love to see the 2017 Air Max w full length air.. Have always thought that was the best utilization of the Air.. Lebron also used it in his 8 & 9’s…
I have a room full of shoes and these are up there on comfortable shoes for me. I like them. The cut profile is funny, logically they should not be comfortable but they are on my foot. Keep on cutting, great videos.
You Nailed it on the Nike Air Max 270!! Great review!
I liked the 270, but it wasn’t ever a go-to necessarily. The follow-up model, the crazy 720, has a wild slope too but that’s one of my favorite and most comfortable sneakers I own. Different feet, lifestyles, walking styles will be different. There’s other feedback online from people who really dislike the drop as well, whereas others will swear by this shoe. I think one reason this one blew up more than some other models was that they went absolute ham on the colorways for this, there’s like 50 different ones and they all look pretty amazing. I enjoy the releases following in the 270’s footsteps like the 270 Futura and the recent Pulse, which you would probably like. The 270 itself is average for me, not great nor awful.
The 720 is a weird shoe to walk in
Quite awful. Shitty upper, gimmicy tech and feels like your feet are being pushed into the toe box. They also look really bad IMO. the 720 look good but still same issue with the toe box
This probably won't get the top voted, but I hated this shoe the most with all Air Maxes... I'm a sneakerhead and AM fan, so I have a ton of different AM silhouettes and I can confidentially say the 720 is the worst AM ever.
you are absolutely correct regarding why these shoes are bad. I bought a pair when they first came out years ago and I had the exact problem you describe. My foot was constantly sliding forward in the shoes. I ended up selling my pair after a few months of them just sitting around and me not wearing them.
Not as part of this series, but the Nike Tailwind '79 would be a cool one to see cut in half since that is the first shoe to feature Nike Air. Just to SEE how that tech started.
Plus those original, full-length Air units I can feel far better than a usual Air Max as it's barely felt. I weigh between 140 to 150 lbs, and those full length Air units I can feel, whereas the Air Max units were meant for to encourage more running to lose weight so someone around 180 lbs and beyond would feel it much more than your average 150 pound build. If anything, Zoom Air is much better for people weighing 150 and below for a bouncy and snappy response!
I was gifted this pair for my birthday by my girlfriend. Well it has looks to die for, we all agree. They felt comfortable at first. Until I removed them in the evening and I was feeling a nonstop sharp pain in my lower back near the spine. I didn't associated the pain to the shoe until I wore it a few more times and discovered that exact pain everyday I wore the shoe. I bought asics GT 2000 an older design and I can't stop wearing them extremely comfortable.
Agree. This shoe is very uncomfortable and my toes get jammed to the front of shoe. I had to leave gym due to toe pain.
I've heard a lot of people have that issue you mention but I haven't experienced my foot being forced forward, I guess it works for how I walk.
I know I'm surprised by this and all the comments to be honest. They are soo comfortable for me. I've been wearing them for years and have them in multiple colors lol. I can work on my feet for hours in them and feel great compared to other shoes.
Thank you for doing a review on these. I used to wear these and my feet were always in so much pain after using a treadmill. I couldn’t understand why. I switched over the the Nike Zoom Pegasus 37 and it was a game changer!
Maybe because they're not running trainers and you switched to actual running trainers lol.
I'd propose doing a review of the Air MaxPlus that Nike released initially in 1998. They're rebranded as the Air Max TN now. To play up the "Tuned Air" name. Supposedly an improved Air Max technology.
I’m a total Nike Air Max fanboy, and I bought my first pair of 270’s 5 years ago when they released. At the time I got these, I had a knee injury that I was working through,but because the bubble stuck so far out, my natural stride was being blocked by this extra inch of heel air bubble and it ended up hurting my knee more. I stopped wearing them. Now, I didn’t want to make my ultimate judgement of the shoes a negative one because I was injured at the time, and I’ve bought another pair, but you’re right in expressing concern in this design. It’s high, foot slides, but that huge air bubble also does affect a natural stride, too, which could lead to legitimate problems in the future.
I have two airmax 270 and have used it until it broke, and I can say that for my wide feet and heavy built, this shoe is really really comfortable for me. Even with hours walking with it, I never felt any pain on my toes or whatsoever.
I guess, it really depends on how your feet structure is, how heavy you are and how your walking posture is where it really matters.
Same! I wear a wide and these fit my foot great. I am wearing a pair atm.
@@sammallory preach.i guess for wide footers these are great.
I have wide feet and I hate how these shoes fit. Maybe there is a wide toebox option that I am missing - but these are just narrow and uncomfortable compared to any Adidas.
@@alladin1314have to go up half a size thats why. It’s what the website says
@@alladin1314 its a narrow foot fit
You also have to realize for track, the shoe is supposed to be snug around your foot therefore causing your foot to feel lighter. It is also better for your foot to be raised at the back (for track). Considering that fact that you said, these shoes are for walking only? / everyday shoes? In that case I agree with most of wat you said. In my view, I feel as though these shoes give an appealing look to run. My opinion, your opinion. :) Have a great day.
This has been a fantastic series. Just from looking at the shoe, it's one I would eventually have been willing to try.
I love the way 270s look but i remember actually putting them to the test with 10-12 hrs on my feet. They failed. Still gonna to wear them, but I know its a style choice.
they are the stripper heals of sneakers lol
Fantastic series, Weston! Much appreciated your work. I would love to see some Puma’s trinomic “teardown”, like TRC Blaze / Blaze of Glory Premium or the basketball shoe with the same tech.
Amazing stuff! Saved my money & wife's feet! She like other people got caught into the looks & was forcing me to place an order before size & stock runs out. Thank fully this video saved me & her. Keep doing this great work.
He's so wrong they are super comfortable and last year's. Maybe different feet types? Go try a pair on
Nailed it. I agree 100% with everything you said in this video! Looks great and has a big, squishy bubble, but the forward-slope just ruins the experience for me.
I bought a pair in 2019. I've worn that same pair of 270s to Vegas more than 10 times, walking 30+ miles every time im there. Not to mention, I play basketball in them at home and go on walks. Never ever worried about popping them and I still wear them to this day.
I hope the next video is about the air max plus my absolute favorite
I just ordered one. My basis was I got a used one and it is honestly is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! If there are better shoe then I haven't worn them. It is also the most expensive shoe I have ever bought. But from what I have experienced with the used ones I for sure know I wouldn't be disappointed. The only negative thing is when the air unit pops. Then it is almost unusable.
I love my 270s! Once you get used to the heel they’re the most comfortable and adaptable to style shoes going. Enjoyed the vid 👍
OMG! I thought it was just me. I've always hated how this shoe felt and I never understood why everyone said it's very comfortable. I've never liked any of the 270 series shoes for the same reasons. Thanks for confirming it! 🍻
I fully agree!! I bought it with huge discount, and immediately wanted to send them back. I like how they look, but i considered them unwearable
Have to agree on this one….I love sneakers but this one is solely for the looks…
I'd love to see the Air Max Sequent 3 cut in half, because it genuinely feels really good, because it's built for running and thus almost feels like a barefoot shoe in the toebox. Also I'm a big fan since I've found your channel with the Converse cut in half videos and you're the reason why I ordered 70s chucks and you also brought me to the barefoot shoes. And in general I really enjoy your videos, it's interesting to know the structure of shoes and how the shoe companies make false claims.
that’s all weird to me. I bought the shoe knowing nothing about the hype around it and while it took me a week or so to get used to the arch and profile I did not have any of the issues you mentioned and I can convincigly say these are the most comfortable everyday shoes I have ever owned (granted that there might not have been any serious competitors but still they are very comfortable for me). No issues with sliding forward or anything like that in my case
The most worst part is that they still cost over 150 box and when i was wearing them half a year i noticed my foot bone coming out in front of the shoe's thin overlay. Love the design of the shoe but nike should give it an update.
I've got a pair of 720 - I think it was the successor to the 270. Very similar heel design, but the air unit wraps around into the forefoot.
And one of them popped. Put them on one day and immediately felt the difference, were completely unwearable. No stability at all, so might be worth cutting a pair of these up and testing. Has to be more air volume!
I feel that these shoes really shine after you've worn them in for a couple days. Maybe that's too much for most casual shoe ppl, but I LOVE these shoes.
It’s super comfortable. I have the coveted all white version. After a month of breaking the shoe in, it feels even better.
Had mine since they first dropped and absolutely love them! No idea what this guy us goin on about they really are very comfortable shoes.
i tried them on last year and learned in 5 seconds what you just learned. it didnt feel squishy or soft at all. wierdly ive been saving my uncomfortable shoes by switching the insole with a carbon fiber hard insole and its amazing. my foot doesn't get tired anymore at the end of the day!
Bought these when they first came out. I returned them after 2 weeks. Good thing Nike has a 30 day no ask return policy.
The shoe did exacly every you explained. The drop was so bad that my toes were pushed to the front and I always 1/2 size up. Also, there was 0 comfort compared my other shoes.
That’s like saying air forces are to lose
Hey I think it would be great to review the Air More Uptempo. The Uptemo was the quintessential 90's Nike Air shoe. It is so loud and in your face it even says "Air" in hugh letters on the side. When I was growing up, the cool kids got these in the OG black color. I wanted them more than anything, and finally at 40 years old, I got a pair. Do I feel a bit ridiculous at times? Yes, but I've never owned a shie that makes me literally smile! I also think it's perfect for your air review system, three air units disguised as one, unique plastic eyelets, and some actual come in leather.
Sneaker Chop did the 95 version. It's basically the same interior as those ones.
Air Max 97's or one of the Goretex styles for the last test
He already did the 97s!
@@GEES44DC my bad, I thought it was 95's
@@Rockatanskiii he did those too
I wore these as a nurse for 6 years after I suffered from planters fasciitis but since wearing these I been pain free
These are the most uncomfortable shoes I ever bought! I absolutely agree with the reasons mentioned here :).
Finally!!!!! THE TRUTH!! I have very arched feet and these sneakers & 720 are ridiculously UNCOMFORTABLE…as you said about the foot sliding to the front & no support on the back heel is exactly what I feel..
I literally walked 5 miles in these sneakers today & I can’t wait to rip these off my feet & return to Nike ASAP.
You are the only reviewer that talks about the real comfort of these sneakers. Maybe there better on flat feet but definitely NOT ON MINE 😂
Do the Air Max 90 next!
For Jordan July, I nominate the J-Balvin Jordan 2. It has a light up feature in the tongue, but there is no way to change the batteries. Some people say they might charge from walking motion. Would be cool to see.
Bought these when they first came out garbage shoes like a 30mm heal to toe drop just a air max zero with a air bag glued on. 1.0 Vapormax was 100x better. Ultraboost are still the best shoes ever imo. Do the Flyknit max.
the upper / lace area is like a vice grip on my foot. I love this shoe, but I just can't wear it.
Please do the air max 90 next!
Do the Nike Air max 720 please
Please
I just got mine and I can say this is my favourite shoe ever. I really don't know what you are talking about.
Could you please do the Nike air max plus next
Thanks for making a video about the 270!
I'm quiet curious on how the Air Max 2090s look!
You MUST review the Nike Air Max Plus aka the TN!!!!!! Does “tuned air” live up to the hype???????
The Tuned part of the Air Max Plus 1s is just the inner side of the heel.
The AM Plus 2 and 3 have whole heel Tuned Air... well the originals did at least.
Stop yapping you gotta get use to it man
Would love to see you break down the Air Structure 91. It’s an air max model that was made as a stability running shoe. Stability shoes today are pretty decent to run in for everyone but back in the day they would destroy your feet/ankles/knees if they didn’t line up with ones gait. Also the structure just looks really cool
He got the fake ones
They don’t make fake 270’s⁉️❓⁉️⁉️
@@TZBeats73 There's Many Fake On The Market and also few of Videos of fake 270 on UA-cam
So the Air Max One Big Bubble, a shoe originally released in 1986, is made better and has better arch and foot support than the Air Max released only back in 2018.
Looks like I’ll be sticking with my Air Max One Big Bubble then. Comfortable and actually has decent foot and arch support. Great vid as always!
wore a version of these for a couple days of work in the hospital and my feet, ankles, knees and back were killing me. i thought i was going crazy. replaced them with some asics Gel Kayanos. thanks for breaking it down.
for anyone interested, I bought it when it came out because I liked them immediately. I changed them last year because having bought them white they became gray over time, the stickers (therefore the numbers) started to come off. over time the plastic sole started to become hard and uncomfortable.
last washing often the shoe has shrunk.
for those with raised thumbs I made the hole in the shoe after about 4 years (the shoe lasted the longest of all)
Nike Air max Zoom 950 id like to see how the zoom air unit looks taken apart! underrated air max. A modern version of the nike air max 95.
Man, I was waiting months for you to review this shoe and I finally placed an order yesterday.
Today the review comes out. Oh well.
I really liked the 720's.
Kidna surprised they stopped making those but these are still coming out.
Can you do the air 2090s please theyre most favourite shoe of all time love the vid btw😄
Could you take a look at the Nike TN (Air Max Plus)? I know that shoe has marketed the shank plate and stability channels for a while, but the upper has helped my mom with neuropathy post-chemo. Keep up the incredible content!
270 AM are a joke shoe for sure. You are correct AV!
Yeah the heel drop looks nuts. That and tiny toeboxes was why I switched from Nike to New Balance and eventually Altra.
I couldn’t agree more with your review. It is spot on. My brother has a few pairs of these and swears by them. I tried them on and had the same reaction. Heel sits up really high and the decline toward the toe box/forefoot is ridiculous with no arch support whatsoever. I couldn’t imagine wearing these for any length of time let alone spending the money that they charge for them. Definitely one of the most uncomfortable and awkward pair of shoes I’ve ever put on.
I'm an Adidas guy and until recently hadn't owned a pair of Nike's since the 90's. I've suffered with plantar fasciitis (heel pain) for the past 6 months and went looking for new sneakers. The Air max 270's were just calling out to me and I made the purchase. As soon as I start walking in these my plantar pain just goes away. For me, Adidas Gazelle's have always been the most comfortable sneaker, but the Air max 270's have taken the top spot.
That’s crazy bc the air max 270s aren’t overly comfortable. It’s just an okay shoe
Got the golf version of these and I like them. Wonder if they’re different inside.
I think any air max models that featured "tuned air" would be cool to see - I think the Air Max Plus has recently retro'd and they had it.
Just ordered another pair of 270ies. Also subbed because of this this amazing video.
Great video, you should do the Nike Alphafly to keep the airpod theme going and bringing some running shoes into the mix!
I tried wearing the Air Force 270s around years ago and to be fair this might be a provlem specific to those shoes but am I the only one who has their HEELS hurt by these bubbles as opposed to the toes? Ive always found it a bit weird.
Amazing video!! Very high effort and classy presentation to boot (ha)!
I’d really be interested in seeing you cover more of Hoka’s shoes to compare against Nike, etc. The way the air unit in this shoe is placed really reminds me of the “Hubble Butt” that Hoka favors. A friend convinced me to try Hoka’s Gaviota 4, which is currently the most comfortable shoe I’ve owned, although it took a bit of getting used to the junk in the trunk while going down stairs.
I hope you do a pair air max plus trainers some time it would be cool to see how those air bubbles differ from normal air max, great video as always!
I can’t agree more with you regarding the uncomfort these shoes have. Not only that the feet slide to the front, but also the heel touches the ground way too early.
I’m not sure if it’s been done on this channel yet or not, but the Air Max 97’s would be the best way to close this series off
If you're not sure, CHECK.
You are spot on. Please review Air Max 270G the golf version of this shoes
Bust open a Jordan 14 for July! They are the most comfortable Jordans from the retros that Mike played in (Retro 1-14). It seemed like the 10-14 silhouettes got more comfortable every year and I always wondered how they improved the tech during that time.
Yes, 100%. I knew you’d say they’re too raked to be comfortable. I imagine this is similar to walking in heels. I haven’t worn these, but I have the Air Max pre-day and this is the same feeling I have with those. First pair of uncomfortable air max I’ve ever owned.
Love your videos, I think as the final video you should do the air max 180
I appreciate your review and methods you use to test this air max 270. Arch support and convex position of my shoe is important. Thank You !
As of now, I have owned 3 pair of these 270s. I walk and work on concrete floors everyday. They have been my fav work shoe thus far in terms of all day comfort. I'm also very flat footed. No arch so maybe that's why, idk but to me they seem a lot more comfortable over any other shoe I have bought to work in.
When I owned this pair, the strange thing for me was that I thought the foam on the front half was much more comfortable than the rear half with the air unit.
Good point. You are not wrong me think.
Thank you very much for this video and showing the truth! That's the reason i watch your channel for some years now.
I had a pair of 270's because of the gaslighting as well They were not even remotely close to as comfortable as the dozens of different Adidas Boosts I've had or Hoka. And, just like every other pair of Nike's with air units, they popped for me and made all sorts of noises after that, and constant would get water inside the air unit because I live in South Florida and it's constantly raining
I used to be a sneaker guy in high school but now I just wear NB 990's until they're dead. Still, the most comfortable shoe are the ultraboost 1.0's. The foam lasts so incredibly long too. It's a real shame they don't increase the thickness of the tread because I could wear them for years if they just didn't wear through.
My sister has some and hers are a bit old, so she bought new ones. She chose em because they are the most comfortable shoe she walked in, but she immediately send her new ones back, because they had a completely different feeling.
Might be that comfort comes with time or quality just lacks nowadays.
Owned nike trainers for over 25 years, have all versions of air max and the 270s are by far the best of the range.
Easily
Love to see a cut up of the Air Max 2017 as I have a pair and feel like how you mentioned the 270s. Comfortable in the beginning but end of the day my soles hurt like lack of arch support.
