Following our exclusive look at the Nike Air Max 270 earlier today, the Swoosh dishes out even more details on its excitable new silhouette. They’ve focused on eight key facts regarding the lifestyle centric Air Max 270 — all of which we detail for you here.<\/p>\n
Breaking history almost immediately, the Air Max 270<\/a> is championed as Nike’s first Air Unit lifestyle shoe. Sure, there have been other lifestyle driven shoes with aesthetically pleasing Air cushioning, but all others saw a primary focus as a performance runner. It’s also noteworthy that the shoe is inspired by both the Air Max 93<\/a> and the Air Max 180<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n The shoe’s 270 moniker originated from an internal Nike epithet for the\u00a0Air Max 93, which acts as a call back to the 270 degrees of visibility in the Air Unit. Also, to that end, it’s the tallest Air Unit ever, tallying 32-mm in height. This speaks to the biggest heel volume displacement on record in efforts to support maximum Air comfort.<\/p>\n All this cushioning and height will make appearances on a variety of Nike silhouettes in 2018, many of which will be dressed in different colors.<\/p>\n Another interesting fact about the Air Max 270 is that Kevin Durant was one of the first Nike athletes to wear test the shoe. He loves them and also owns the largest pair: a size 18.<\/p>\n The eighth and final fact regarding the Nike Air Max 270<\/strong> is its release date: February 1, 2018. Select retailers will stock the shoe as well as Nike SNKRS. Take a closer look below.<\/p>\n
