Nike Air Max Dn Winterized

The Air Max Dn WTR fits true to size and feels supportive with just the right amount of cushioning. The design is clean and modern, and the water-resistant upper holds up well in light rain. I like how comfortable it stays through long wear, with solid traction and stability. The only thing I’d change is adding a bit more breathability for warmer days. Overall, a strong mix of comfort, durability, and everyday style.

My story: I am a 42 year old father of two always on the go constantly looking for a comfortable and stylish shoe that could support the various activities my family engages in while also living in the Pacific Northwest. I have struggled to find a versatile shoe that has protection against the weather while also not being an oversized boot. When I came across the Air Max Dn Wtr I was drawn into the idea of a waterproof sneaker option that retained the expected Nike style, so I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed. A deeper look Fit and Feel: Right out of the box the Air Max Dn Wtr fits like glove. It was true to size, something that I haven't always found with Nike's, especially dunks. It almost fits like a very comfortable snowboard boot with lots of padding and support. After wearing them a couple of times around the house and running errands I could tell the feeling was going to last. Performance: Whether I am trying to get through Costco quickly, shooting hoops on my sports court or throwing the baseball around with my 2nd born, the Air Max Dn supports it all. With the added waterproofing and resistant materials I am no longer concerned about wet feet as we head into the rainy season. I can definitely feel the Dynamic air technology support my every movement and I guess this is what walking on clouds feels like. I haven't really put the shoes through a strenuous test like 1v1 basketball or flag football yet, but very interested to see how they response. Honestly, I don't think I have tried on a more comfortable, support shoe and although I have only had them for a couple of weeks now, I feel like they are build to last. Materials and Build Quality: In regards to the materials and build of the Air Max Dn Wtr, I was quite impressed with the thick, canvas like material that covers the top of the shoe. The 4 rows of stitching seems to help support the shape of the shoe and prevents it from collapsing. The material definitely wicks water and will keep your feet dry. Below the canvas material is a sleek, waterproof, flat black covering that gives even more waterproofing to the part of the shoe most likely to see the most water. The sole is made of thick rubber that has a little bit of give to it to allow a more cushioned feel to your steps. Where the product shines is on the inside though. The amount of padding that lines the shoes is the selling point for me. It envelops your foot the moment you slide it into the shoe and provides a lot of warmth as you continue to wear the sneaker. I cannot get enough of that feeling. Styling: I have to say I didn't originally buy it for the overall styling. I was really basing my decision on a waterproof alternative to the PNW standard boot, but I do have to say the Air Max Dn Wtr styling has grown on me. When I buy my next pair I will likely go for the all black option, but the off white is becoming more appealing to my eye. I am not a big fan of how the shoe looks when I look down on them. The way the black plastic carves around the canvas material makes the shoe almost look like your are wearing a sock when you look down on them, but from the side and from a spectators point of view they look great. I also really like the carbon fiber inserts on the heel and on the sides of the shoe. I wish they used the same carbon fiber look to surround the air bubbles, but maybe next time. Final Thoughts: Overall, if you are looking for a very supportive, waterproof, athletic sneaker and you live in the PNW, this is the shoe for you. The verdict Pros Warm Waterproof True to size Very Supportive Great materials Styling that will grow on you Cons Questionable styling when you look down on them when wearing

These sneaks were quite comfortable and have a sleek look to them. Only complaints I would have is I felt the uppers were a little hard to break in and they are a little clunky on the back end but once they loosened up, they are really great. Easy to clean and really durable.
