AIR MAX DAY
Air Max Day was celebrated for the first time on the 26th of March 2014, when Nike re-released the original Air Max 1 in a limited edition run on the 27th anniversary of its original release. Air Max fanatics were encouraged to wear their favourite Air Maxes on the day and post to social media. Fan events were held across the globe and in a maelstrom of coverage, from main-stream media to social media, the first Air Max Day was documented, and a new tradition born.
Air Max Day has become a cultural marker for sneakerheads as it has also become a popular release date for exclusive and limited “grail” Nike sneakers.
NIKE AIR MAX ORIGINS
Since their launch back in 1987, Nike Air Max have been truly iconic global sneakers. From the Air Max sole that offers wonderful underfoot cushioning and support to the fashion-forward street style designs, browse our latest Nike Air Max range for men, women and kids and enjoy the sensation of walking on air today.
Arguably the most well-known of the
Nike shoes for women and
Nike shoes for men collections, the Nike Air Max range makes everything lighter with their visible, legendary Air soles for impact protection that get sneakerheads of all types hyped.
Nike's Air Max technology has an impressive pedigree. They were first invented by a NASA scientist who developed air technology using sacs filled with gases to cushion the impacts from jumps, cuts and other sharp movements. In doing so, Nike Air Max provides superior cushioning to traditional foam while also reducing weight.
Making its debut in 1987, Air Max’s main innovation was letting everyone see the unique cushioning system in action with the now-famous ‘Air Unit’ windows, which proved a hit with everyone from high performance athletes to the general public. This effectively started the Air Max revolution.
As well as the pioneering Air Units, Nike Air Max sneakers feature standout design and superior construction, such as the quality layered leather and textile materials on the sidewalls, the microsuede, mesh and smooth leather uppers, and the rounded toe. Over 30 years since its release, the Nike Air Max continues to merge modern trends and technologies with the qualities that made the originals so popular.
Today, Nike Air Max sneakers are available in various colourways, with almost every colour imaginable on offer. Choose chic black Nike Air Max sneakers, classic white Air Max sneakers and everything in between. With popular styles like the Nike Air Max 97, 270, Dia and Infinity all available at Glue Store, we have your next Nike sneaker covered.
NIKE AIR MAX 270
The Nike Air Max 270 is Nike's first lifestyle Air Max, combining style, comfort and street-friendly design. The result is a blend of retro style and future tech, which gives its wearer a standout look and unbeatable performance to keep your feet cushioned with every step.
Showcasing Nike's greatest innovation with its large Air Unit windows and fresh array of colours, the Nike Air Max 270 gets its inspiration from Air Max icons like the 180 and 93, while adding modern features like the tallest Air Unit to date, measuring in at 32mm for maximum cushioning.
Released in 2018, these kicks feature a mesh or flyknit textile upper, which give you unbelievable support and breathability. Add to this the chunky foam midsole, grippy outsole, tonal laces, heel pull tab, stylish Air 270 branding on the tongue and heel, and Swoosh on the sidewalls, and it’s little surprise the Nike Air Max 270s have been dubbed the future of Air Max!
NIKE AIR MAX 90
For many, the Nike Air Max 90 (aka the Air Max III) is the sneaker that defined the 90s. Beloved by athletes and sneaker aficionados alike, the Air Max 90s have been meticulously designed to exaggerate the thickness of the heel, giving you a bold and chunky look.
Known around the world for their proven style and comfort, the Nike Air Max 90 stays true to its roots with the iconic Waffle sole, stitched overlays and classic TPU accents. Fresh colours give a modern look and classic, comfy Max Air cushioning to the heel has helped this sneaker grow into a true street icon.
Nike Air Max 90 shoes offer amazing versatility too, just as easily complementing your athletic or training ensembles as a casual street-style outfit, working wonders with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
