"Look dude, for $180 bucks, you gotta wow me a little bit. Not just with the shoes..." So true. For a lot of people that collect sneakers, they also keep their boxes. And honestly, living in 2019, that presentation is just awesome. All that holographic material and the shoes themselves really give it this futuristic feel to it. I could easily see this being opened by Marty McFly. I think Nike did these justice, giving consumers something that's different than the norm. And yeah, $180 is a lot, but Ultraboosts are $180 and I see people buying those left and right lol
I just scooped this pair last night. Love THEM!!! I normally wear a 13 but had to go with a 14. IMO they're not really true to size but they are extremely comfortable. Well worth the $180 price tag.
Just picked up a relatively clean pair of these at my local Plato’s closet for $59. Though I never buy shoes for retail, unless I’m extremely drawn to them, after cleaning these and wearing them for a little while, I definitely feel like these would be worthy of a full retail drop. Great vid man.
Daymn i am sold on these! need to get at least 1 pair this year! better than the 270 IMO. I also like the boomerang-shaped side panel. It looks like the letter 'A' for Airmax
I’ve got Triple Black and Be True, still rocking both in 2022, the latter breaks necks. Now I’m realizing I need to hunt down that original colorway as well. This video shows it the best out of any on YT.
@Prime Time well look ,Skip, let's just say for the sake of argument and all things being considered equal... We STILL WOULDN'T CARE about the 270... What I'm supposed to do with 1000 color ways?
YES!!!!!! These are one of the few new models I've been waiting on....so happy to hear that you dig them! I'll be waiting on a black and red color way....hopefully. I also like the version of the upper that you have over the other one. Hopefully Mrs.Wing will get her's soon. LOL.
Those are 🔥!! I loved the 270s as there were my go to shoes for everyday use. These take it up to another level. I really like the boomerang touch on the upper. Great review and thanks for all the hard work you put in for your audience! 👍🏾
I like these and when saw the original pics I was not so sure. Now that I've seen them up close I'm sold. "Chris" is right about the box factor. I keep my boxes and it's a nice touch. The 270 is my most comfortable sneaker in my collection. Almost made my original pair beaters.
Just an interesting tidbit about you mentioning Nike shifting to their airbags and shoe components being manufactured and not just asssembled in the US, which hasn't really been a thing for the past 30 years. The original Reebok Pump thermoplastic inflatable ankle and tongue airbags were made in Chicopee Massachusetts (next to Springfield MA - yes the Basketball Hall of Fame city) at Dielectrics. Dielectrics was an OEM for Reebok in the late 80s and early 90s. It's hard to find reference material that cite Dielectrics, Reebok, and The Pump, but there are some patent records about it out there.
These are fire. Love that futuristic look. $180 is a bit too much for a college kid like me. I love the box. Hope the launch colorway doesn't sell out just like previous shoes. Have a good day
1st: Excellent review. From the angles, lighting, convo, presentation, everything. You guys killed it. Where have I been. Insta sub. 2nd: these are sick 😷 🤢 I need every color-way that releases. Period. Love the futuristic look of these. The whole presentation and look of the shoe is nasty. $180 is worth it to me. I’ve bought plenty of mad expensive shoes that don’t compare to look of these.
Great video man. I actually copped the 270’s in a size 10 and I’m usually a 10.5 and have a wide foot. The mesh on it stretches perfectly. Looking forward to these.
i loved these shoes. when there used to be a nike outlet store in my city, they had a ton of these for cheap. id buy one, wear the shit out of it for work, and when the bubble popped, id just go buy a new one. it also allowed me to try different cw's. siigh, now these and the outlet store are both gone....
Hey, my local nike factory store has the 720's and the air MAX 2017 for right around 100. ive heard mixed reviews on the MAX and was wondering which you would pick?
filip geci im a huge fan of this channel. I’m not a basketball shoe guy, but I appreciate the time, presentation, and passion he puts into his content. Under appreciated in my opinion..but it is what it is 🤷🏿♂️
The last time I went "Holy crap these are hella comfortable" was when I bought Asics Gel Nimbus 19's. No kidding I was blown away by how comfy they are and still blown away everytime I wear them. Is this shoe near that "holly crap" level of comfort?
Love my Vapormax Plus, a few reviews said they were not comfortable, I LOVE them. Same with these 720 reviews, people saying it's not comfy, but they are they same people who said the Vapormax Plus was not comfortable. I'm hoping I will like these.
I have these and they are very comfy but my only complaint is that the air bubble is so big on the back people always accidentally step on your shoe and you get paranoid after awhile because you don’t want them to pop
Box is crazy dope. Excited to try these, but hoping that they do some Flyknit versions. That triple black colorway you showed might be my first though.
Man that packaging is cool. I am also a big fan of the iridescent look, like on the "invisible cloak" series they did on basketball with the kobe 7s and penny 5s.
The only problem for me about all of the air max series is that they are really uncomfortable for wide footers and the ankle support is really bad. The lacing system is not that good but the cushioning is great.
I’m excited to get my hands on a pair of these. Especially with the vapormax being a little underwhelming in my opinion as far as comfort goes. I think these look great and the box is dope too. I feel like it gives the silhouette more personality
The Northern Lights and Sunsets are my choices to get. OAN I'll give it a year or 2 we'll start seeing 720 air soles on Air Max 95s, Air Max 97s, Tuned Air Maxes, and maybe Vapor Maxes
Hey chris,, would you also say these are a similar fit to Airmax 95‘s? because I always thought I probably should’ve went up half the size on those. Same with last year‘s easy 350 boost. Need just a little more wiggle room. Please let me know I would like to get these. That on foot part of the video totally sold me on these.
Digging all them, going after the light red and light blue personally. This just looks like the air max 97 if it was engineered with todays air max tech
I’m pretty interested in this model but wonder what they will look like with some serious wear? Based on the 270, I can’t imagine the 720’s airbag will age well with scratches and scuffs.
Hope they do what they did times before when releasing a new air max model. I would love to get hybrids with classic upper like AM 1, 90, 95,97, and plus, together with this HUGE air bag.
Probably a random question, that I'm sure you've addressed before, but what's your camera set up? What camera do you use and lens? Great review as always
Chris, do you happen to know which company is manufacturing Nike's foam? They don't make these soles themselves, do they? I know companies like Asics and New Balance use Lubrizol's injected foams and they're some of the best for energy return and the like.
I really enjoy my vapormax plus but my heal rolls very easy in them. Do these suffer rolling as bad? My fav is 95s as I get alot of support from them and the cushioning is much nicer than the 97 unit

They do wear the Ultraboost, but ain't nobody paying retail, the outlets are full of them on a half price.
kicksreason That’s very true. But that wasn’t the case initially when the first debuted.
@@dukestarfighter People were drinking the Kool-aid, like everything else that is hyped, just like Jordan retros back in 2013.
True, Nike really killed it with these.
Boost is dead
With these and the Adidas N3xt L3v3ls I feel Nike and Adidas are fighting for which shoe would be in the next big SciFi movie
in that case hyper adapt will win i think
-How should we name the new air Max?
-Just switch the numbers
*Genius*

Hey Chris from WearTesters!
Ball of foot cushion is good?
I love that the box was the last thing to be reviewed and not the first like other typical show review vids.
Those are dope looks like something Black Panther would wear 🤔
He is dead now
Starting to like it and it looks like a throwback to 90s!
Been waiting for an awesome new Air Max, this is it. Definitely getting this shoe in the color shown.
These are incredible can’t wait to cop a pair
I just bought a pair like new for 3.19 at Goodwill. They are so comfortable and feel very well made.
These are fire. Love that futuristic look. $180 is a bit too much for a college kid like me. I love the box. Hope the launch colorway doesn't sell out just like previous shoes. Have a good day

Been waiting for these for HELLLLLLLLLA LONG haha.. Awsome Review! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
how durable is the air unit? i've been reading leakages on Jordan Proto 720 reviews, so how good is this one?

Super fly got mines today all blacks very satisfied
I have these and they are very comfy but my only complaint is that the air bubble is so big on the back people always accidentally step on your shoe and you get paranoid after awhile because you don’t want them to pop
Yeah, but they give a big height boost in return. Essential being only 5'9 😉
In color white and black...the best shoes!!
Box is crazy dope. Excited to try these, but hoping that they do some Flyknit versions. That triple black colorway you showed might be my first though.
They are awesome....only the first couple of days they are pushing your foot forward so your fingers might hurt a little.
Man that packaging is cool. I am also a big fan of the iridescent look, like on the "invisible cloak" series they did on basketball with the kobe 7s and penny 5s.
Please talk about Jordan Aerospace 720.. Is it good for playing basketball?
Man these are 🔥🔥🔥had my eyes on these will be copping.
thanks for the review, so.. these fit pretty much like am97 or more snug?... trying to figure out what size I should try.. thank you
What if you do use these for running or basketball? Is it a risk for the bubble?
I love Air Max's and these are clean there different but interesting I'm copping a pair but just gonna wait for the right colorway dope review buddy
These are so dope! All 6 colors revealed by Nike today are fire and they dropping in February
The only problem for me about all of the air max series is that they are really uncomfortable for wide footers and the ankle support is really bad. The lacing system is not that good but the cushioning is great.
U don't need ankle support if you are just walking lmao only while playing sports
@@justicehiggins2963 but when I walk, the shoes feel loose and my heels are dragging. Feels really uncomfortable and insecure with my feet.
I have wide flat size 14 feet and the 270s are like walking on a cloud for me
What airmaxes do you have?
Ricky Song I have wide feet and every air Max i pended ( 90,270,1) was Comfi af
As soon as a black & gold colorway comes out, im getting it...
So hyped to wear these!
What’s the most comfortable shoe you have ever worn? For me it’s the air max 270, even more so than the ultraboosts, so I’m excited to try these.
Ultra Boost 19
Hektor G If you don’t like soft cushioning then sure
Nike air presto
I'm that one guy that prefers my Vapormax to my Ultraboost.
I’m excited to get my hands on a pair of these. Especially with the vapormax being a little underwhelming in my opinion as far as comfort goes. I think these look great and the box is dope too. I feel like it gives the silhouette more personality

These are dope! Definitely going to get a pair.
ALWAYS GREAT WORK!! I HAV A PAIR EARLY, N I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!!
Great review !!!! Love the colorways !!!
I need to see in person but this thing needs a big Nike check on it like the off white 97s this shoe would look amazing.
A pearl sort of sparkly color way in these would be dope
I'm a fan of those, dope colorway IMO. I can def wait until some go on sale once tons of color ways flood the market like every other model.
Hey, I know it isnt a new shoe, but could you review the Air Force 270 Utility?
Can’t wait for the neon ones!!
Definitely copping these when they release on snkrs, unless they go for below retail on stockx or GOAT.
I’m pretty interested in this model but wonder what they will look like with some serious wear? Based on the 270, I can’t imagine the 720’s airbag will age well with scratches and scuffs.

Have you tried a shoe with Zoom X in it? Just wanted to know your thoughts on its comfort.
Can’t wait for these
I want a pair for sure..

Chris, do you happen to know which company is manufacturing Nike's foam? They don't make these soles themselves, do they? I know companies like Asics and New Balance use Lubrizol's injected foams and they're some of the best for energy return and the like.
We do not know the answer to that question, unfortunately. Would be interesting information.
How does the fit compare with the 270’s? I got tts with air max 97’s but went 0.5 size up for the mesh 270’s.
the outsole looks like your grandma hair brush 😂
Kable Games Maniac fax 🤣

Lol waa anybody surprised that nightwing introduced himself as Chris? I havent watched his vids in a little while but it was really funny 😂
This shoe is nice definitely copping
