Nike generally uses high-quality materials to make their Air Max lineage. They use durable materials that could add to the longevity of the sneakers, which means they ask consumers to pay for a shoe that will perform better and last for years compared to the cheaper alternative.

Is the Air Max 270 a running shoe? The Nike Air Max 270 is the first model that Nike launched as a pure everyday shoe. The Swoosh brand released explicit lifestyle sneakers before it, but they also had an Air unit that was actually developed for running. So the 270 is the first to be a 100% lifestyle shoe.

The Nike Air Max 270 unit adds 32 millimeters to your height. That's more than 1.25 inches of extra height. What Height Does the Air Max 97 Add? The Nike Air Max 97 adds about 1.6 inches for the wearer, one of the most generous offerings in Nike's current collection.
