The Air Max, true to its name, is the heavy hitter of Nike’s line of Air Sole cushioned shoes. The upper is a smooth lined cocoon, that supports the foot effectively, accomplished by webbing loops strategically placed for security, with a smooth and wicking lining, outer layers of support, with the safety of reflective trim. The midsole is a polyurethane carriage, designed to effectively cushion the ride over the variety of manmade surfaces encountered on the roads. The outersole is a durable slab of carbon rubber, modsled for traction, and toughened for miles of performance . Overall, like its namesake predecessors, the achieved goal is Max cushioning, durability, and comfort. Mission accomplished.
