Heritage style meets modern comfort in the Nike® Women’s Air Max 270 shoes. An exaggerated tongue top and heritage logo pays homage to the original, 1991 Air Max 180, and delivers a modern update to a classic style you’ll love.

Bootie construction and asymmetrical lacing system creates secure fit
Clear rubber on the heel highlights the Max Air unit
IN-SHOE COMFORT:
TPU heel counter creates smooth transition to Max Air heel unit
Large volume Max Air unit creates impact absorption and cushioning
Dual-density foam tooling uses rigid and softer foam to create superior cushion
Flex grooves help create smooth transitions
TRACTION & DURABILITY:
Waffle-inspired rubber outsole creates durability and traction
The concept for the Air Max was first introduced at the 1978 Honolulu Marathon in Hawaii with a shoe known as the Tailwind. The Tailwind featured trapped air that created functional cushioning, but Nike Air engineers struggled to feature the trapped air in the design. In 1987 young architect turned shoe designer, Tinker Hatfield, cracked the design. Inspired by the Centre Pompidou, a modern art museum in Paris, Hatfield designed the Air Max 1 with visible air in the midsole, thus bringing forth one of Nike’s most iconic designs.
It's in the Air
What makes the Air Max so special? It’s all in the air. The idea originated from Frank Rudy a NASA engineer who first captured high-density gasses in a urethane air bag. He then brought the idea to Nike in 1978 as a revolutionary cushioning concept. A blow molding process fills each air unit with dense gasses that can't leak from plastic. These units are then placed in the shoe’s midsole. These iconic air cushions provide support and comfort while enhancing performance and versatility. They are perfect for the athlete or for everyday use.
Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional comfort and stylish design, with most describing them as their most comfortable shoes featuring excellent cushioning and arch support ideal for all-day wear. Many purchase multiple pairs in different colors, reflecting strong satisfaction. However, a notable concern is that these shoes run small and narrow, with reviewers consistently recommending sizing up a half size to avoid toe box tightness. Additionally, some customers report premature wear including mesh degradation and holes in the toe area after light use, though most remain satisfied overall.

Great
I bought these for the color. They are a little too narrow. They had a different price on the box than what I paid for them. They fixed the price to match the box.

Not As Good As Last Years
I bought these same shoes last year in a different color way. This year they are less comfortable. They must have changed them, sadly.

Love Them But Difficult Putting On!
Bought the shoe, really love it but it’s so difficult getting it on. 😌
Is there seem to be wider size?
I will give it a 10 for its beauty.
Putting it on is what tears it down, foot hurt after trying the first foot.
If I could get my feet in without all the hassle it would be comfortable. Couldn’t wait for it to come but disappointed.

Cute But Too Tight
The sneakers were the cutest ever, but due to my right foot having been broke and plates placed in my foot, I couldn't bend my foot enough to place it in the shoe and I untie it and did everything in my power but it wouldn't loosen up for my foot to get it in, so I had to return.

Nike Air Max 270
These shoes are incredibly comfortable, stylish and durable. I was nervous to buy online, but I could not be happier with how they fit.

Mesh
I purchased the black pair and after a few months the mesh started to tear. I took them back received a new pair and it started to tear again. Nice shoe but the mesh I can do without and for the money I spent was a waste.

Only Ok
Bought these for work, they are ok. I don't think the comfort level matches the prices honestly.
