The Best Nike Shoes to Look Taller

In addition to scoring extra style points, your go-to sneakers can serve another purpose: looking taller. Shoes that add some height can be low-key chic and comfortable. Here are Nike's top picks for sneakers to gain some extra height.

These classic, retro-inspired sneakers have visible air units in the sole for comfort and height. The Nike Air Max 95 is constructed with soft suedes to mimic the look of a pair of seventies-era running shoes. These athletic sneakers pair well with joggers and a hoodie for a casual look. Choose from several existing color combinations or customize your pair.

Stand tall in the Nike Air Max 97, which features a full-length air unit for soft cushioning. Inspired by Japanese bullet trains, the ripple design comes in a variety of colors, including customizable uppers. Mesh and synthetic materials allow for a breathable upper, while a durable rubber outsole provides traction. Pair these casual shoes with joggers, jeans, or leggings for sophisticated streetwear style. The extra perk? Those added inches.

Inspired by classic running shoes, the Air Max 270 is a cushioned, lace-up that offers a Nike Air unit in the heel for all-day comfort and a bonus height increase. The kicks offer all-around comfort with their lightweight woven upper, soft foam midsole, and stretchy inner sleeve personalized to your foot’s shape. The outfit options are endless with these versatile, sporty sneakers — with the bonus of increasing your height.

The Nike Air VaporMax shoes are futuristic and playful, injecting style and extra lift to any outfit. The underfoot cushioning is ultra-lightweight, while the targeted rubber provides durability. The recycled Flyknit uppers are available for a stretchy fit that’s as comfy as it is environmentally friendly. Both women's and men's versions are available in a variety of style and color options, which pair well with casual outfits like joggers or shorts and a T-shirt (while helping you look a bit taller, too).

Available in sleek solids in addition to a variety of color options and prints, the hardest thing about the Nike Air Force 1 is choosing the style best for you. From high-top to low-top, monochrome or colorful every outfit can be completed with a pair of Nike Air Force 1’s. No matter what sneaker style you wear, you’ll enjoy a cozy padded collar, a breathable, perforated upper, and durable stitched overlays for support — and of course a little height increase.
