Nike Air Max Pulse

• Modern Air Max comfort with Retro Elements

  rdot - May 11, 2024

  I’m a big Air Max enthusiast, esp for the retro models. The Air Max Pulse blends modern day Air Max technology with elements of retro Nike running models. FIT: True to Size. My feet are on the narrow to normal side of the spectrum when it comes to width. Fit is consistent with what I wear in most Nike models. FEEL: The Air Max Pulse features an Air Max unit on the heel, which is very reminiscent of the Air Max 270 sans the React Foam. The Air Max unit solo is decent. They’re comfortable enough to run errands, but they’re nothing really spectacular. DESIGN: Aesthetically, they’re basic. I do appreciate that they borrowed elements of a few retro Nike trainers and utilitied them on this model; Air Max Plus tongue, the Air Max 90 midsole from the mid-foot to the toe. The mini Swoosh on the lateral side is a nice touch. However, I wouldn’t consider them if I wanted to stylish sneaker. MATERIALS: I do appreciate the mesh base, which makes the sneaker very breathable and flexible. The mudguard also feels sturdy and durable. CHANGES: The colorway is definitely something that I’d change. Although, the sneaker features Infrared / Radiant Red accents, they’re not my style. I like my sneakers to be on the brighter side. BOTTOM LINE: The Air Max Pulse is sneaker that features modern day Air Max technology while blending elements of retro Air Max runners. Though they are comfortable, their aesthetic is very bland. They’re honestly something I wouldn’t consider when shopping for a sneaker. They don’t have that IT factor. I think a good colorway could make them more attractive.

  Air Max - May 10, 2024

  I can not start without giving a brief mention of my history with Air Max. So for some reason, back in the day it didn't matter what kind of Air Max I decided to try, they would be so uncomfortable for me. Ironically, they are one of my favorite types of Nike's because of the design but I don't always purchase. Fast forward to now, I'm not sure if they updated their design team but man did these not only fit but they were very comfortable. I was nervous at first but now I am in love! The fabric feels great and it's not even narrow on my feet as I've experienced in the past. Great colors, great design, honestly I wouldn't change anything. I think as long as they stick to this, I will continue purchasing Air Max.

  These Airmax are by far the best pair I’ve had. I love that they are sturdy yet very comfortable. I wore them to an amusement park and my feet were just fine at the end of the night. My other Airmaxs are soft on top and all around but these are firmer which help provide my feet with more stability and structure. I love the colors and my favorite are the tips on the laces. The vibrant colors are fun but not too much. They fit true to size.
