THE AIR MAX 270 IS NIKE'S FIRST LIFESTYLE AIR UNIT While there have been other Nike Air shoes designed explicitly for lifestyle, beginning with the 1987 Air Safari, these all featured air units originally created for running performance. The Air Max 270 unit, and its subsequent shoe, is the first 100-percent lifestyle Air shoe — designed with the same rigor as sport performance but for the demands of all-day wear. THE SHOE IS INSPIRED BY THE AIR MAX 93 AND THE AIR MAX 180 AN OLD NICKNAME, COINED BY NIKE DESIGNERS, INFLUENCED THE 270 MONIKER The name 270 comes from an internal Nike epithet for the Air Max 93, which referred to the 270 degrees of visibility in the air unit. ITS THE TALLEST-EVER MAX AIR HEEL UNIT It's 32-mm tall! DISPLACEMENT SPEAKS VOLUMES The Air Max 270 unit height offers the biggest heel volume displacement for maximum air cushion comfort. KEVIN DURANT FELT IT EARLY, WHICH REQUIRED MAKING THE LARGEST AIR MAX 270: A SIZE 18! KD rocked it first on November 22 before his showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder and then again on December 5, a much-needed rest day. THE AIR MAX 270 UNIT IS FILLED WITH PROMISE Expect the 270 Max Air unit to make an appearance on a variety of silhouettes in 2018 — and in a breadth of color too.

So theres still time for them to redo the entire upper portion? How about a 3rd mini swoosh somewhere in between the other two? Like ants crawling off an uninspired piece of dog crap... I thought the max zero was bad. Is this new v neck collar on shoes the new way forward or? Who decided this? I can tell thats the starting point of the entire design and also where the design starts its downward spiral. In other news, does this mean we're getting fat airbags again?
It has a '90s feel to it. I'm messing with it. But wouldn't the Air Max '93 be the first true Air Max 270?
Lmao^ Not feeling the upper. The whole big holes mesh look doesn't do it for me. Maybe a dope colorway can fix it?
I am a fan of that 270. Can anyone remember back in the 80s a nike air max shoe that had a huge bubble in the back? Not as big as that 270 but almost. I initially thought it was the 180 but went and looked and it wasn't. Almost half the shoe was an air bubble like the 270 just not as bulbous.
Ill reserve judgment for better pics, could be an early sample? I like the design language but agree on the mesh being a bit too porus
Yeahhhhhhhhh. Getting pretty tired of seemingly every shoe, including a lot of Nike basketball shoes, with this collar design. I almost feel like, be careful what you wish for, because as much as I loved Huaraches back in the day and continue to love them today, this all seems like a natural evolution of Huarache design. It might be quite functional and comfortable, but it's also making everything look the same. And it's often not a real good look. I'm all for top-flight function, but sheesh.
Have been wondering why this one isn’t called AM270 also... Along w/ Chapter, ATMOS had also listed em as Air Chukka Moc Ultra while back and I just can’t figure that out. https://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/chapter-ex/ah7915-201.html?sc_i=shp_pc_search_itemlist_shsr_title BTW, I kinda like this one (but is this Flax colorway?) & also the Orange/Black/Red tho.
In i forgot i started this thread lol via sn Nike’s latest chapter of its legendary Air Max footwear line was officially previewed during today’s Investor Day presentation in Beaverton, OR. The Nike Air Max 270, which features a brand new Air unit that appears to have a similar design engineering as the Vapormax, is considered a lifestyle shoe as it features a slip-on construction and an eclectic mesh pattern on the upper. Nike officially released this image of the Air Max 270 as part of its Investor Day summary, but early rumblings suggest the shoe will release as part of the Air Max Day 2018 festivities.
I am not digging this model. Nike needs to come up with new technology in the midsoles with new pu foam and new air tech. Nike has no new innovation. The latest interesting thing they did was in the Lebron 15s where they combined Max Air with Zoom Air. But this isn’t really new, it’s just combining 2 existing technologies.
