Since its first creation in 1987, the Nike Air Max is a hit among sneakerheads and stylish people alike. The build of it is really unique that with the right clothes, it will enhance your look instantly especially if you are donning the athleisure look. We have covered the Nike Air Max shoes some time ago, talking about how to style it in different ways. Today, we will be confirming if the iconic shoe is suitable for running or just for style.

Short answer: no. Nike Air Max is not a running shoe, although, there are people that find running in them comfortable. We would think otherwise. Let’s break it down for you why Nike Air Max is not a running shoe.

 

1.    At first it was

Back when it was first introduced, it did intend to be the next running shoe. With its pressurised air through a flexible and durable membrane also known as the air bubble, the creation was meant for it to deliver lightweight footwear so that you can run in it. However, the performance was then overshadowed by their massive presence in the world of fashion as many stylish people started to wear them leisurely.

 

2.    Air Max 2015

While the Air Max is now known for fashion, there was one that was meant for running. The Air Max 2015 came out in, well, 2015 and tried to go back to its roots and marketed it as a running shoe. It was a good one at that time, but nowadays, you do not see people running in it since there are better running shoes out there that is more comfortable and practical.

 

3.    Other alternatives

If you still want to run in a pair of Nikes, do not fret because there are so many more models that are meant specifically for running. Like the many types of Pegasus collection, the React Infinity Run, or the ZoomX, there are many running shoes from the Nike brand that are sure to fit your running style, track, and most of all, comfort.
