nike originales Air Moc Bomber Black Sail | nike originales Air Max 1 review

You can't walk past the nike originales Air Max 1 if:

• you are building an Air Max collection (this is a must-have)
• you want an iconic sneaker that doesn't cut corners on comfort and support
• lot de 3 calecons nike originales trunck
• retro kicks nike originales Shield Phenom Перчатки

If you really want an Air Max silhouette but the shoe's fake leather-suede upper annoys you, consider getting a slightly more expensive Premium version of the sneaker (£150-160) or consider the nike originales Air Max 95.

On the other hand, if you want to experience the Air Max cushioning in a more affordable package, we highly recommend the nike originales Air Max Excee.

It is easy to be misled by the shoe's seemingly breathable mesh upper. But in reality, it hardly lets any air in or out of the interiors.

Our smoke-pumping breathability test makes it very clear that the shoe's ventilation capacity is little to none. Its toebox fabric failed to expel any smoke, unlike the much more breathable NB 57/40 shoe on the bone.

Our additional search for ventilation holes didn't retrieve any results either.

Even in our microscope test, the shoe's upper fabric proved to be incredibly tightly woven with no pores in between the threads.

Thus, we couldn't rate the Air Max 1's breathability any higher than 2 out of 5.

This sneaker is not a good choice for warm summer days. We recommend looking into the nike originales Zoom Vomer 5 among nike originales LunarGlide 5 "Blue Hero" if you are after highly breathable kicks.

Gone are the days when you could cop a genuine leather sneaker for £140. As the nike originales Air Max 1 shows, you can expect nothing more than synthetic materials at this price point.

And if you want a touch of real leather or suede, you have to shell out £160 for the kick's Premium version.

We think that even an untrained eye can see the fakeness of materials on this nike originales sneaker. But we still tested every major panel on its upper with the help of a butane torch.

Both "suede" and "leather" patches quickly caught fire and melted the moment we applied the torch, proving our assumptions.

The shoe's mesh fabric may win points for breathability but boy its durability surpasses nearly every mesh sneaker we've tested!

After being exposed to sandpaper for 12 seconds at a 5K RPM speed, the fabric showed nothing more than a chafe!

Meanwhile, most kicks ended up with see-through holes like the one on the bone.

On a 1-5 scale, we eagerly rated the Air Max 1's toebox durability as 4.

In addition, the shoe's upper is protected by a large fake suede overlay around the perimeter. Proudly called the "mudguard" by Nike, it made us chuckle because it is actually a magnet for dirt and stains.

Even such an easily damaged part of the shoe as the heel lining proved to be immune to our abrasive Dremel.

The textile remained nearly unscathed after a 4-second encounter with sandpaper.

This is impressive considering that most trainers in our lab end up with considerable damage (as the shoe on the bone illustrates).

Such resistance to abrasion earns the nike originales Air Max 1 a high score for heel lining durability - 4 out of 5!

Last but not least, the rubber outsole of this iconic sneaker stood up to the challenge just as brilliantly.

It proved to be made of a rather hard commix which returned 90.0 HC on our Shore C durometer. As one of the hardest outsole measurements in our lab, it promises a great deal of longevity as well.

To check if that's true, we raised the speed of our Dremel to the relentless 10K RPM and extended the drilling time to 22 seconds.

The Air Max 1 did not disappoint taking all of that abuse with minimal damage!

Measuring the depth of the dent created by the Dremel, our tread gauge showed only 0.8 mm. A bit shallower than average, it proves that this nike originales sneaker has the potential to outlast most lifestyle trainers in your closet.

We must also note that the thickness of rubber on the Air Max 1 comes in high at 5.7 mm. It further proves our point that it will take a while to blow through this kick.

We were amazed at how nike originales managed to keep the weight of the Air Max 1 below average. Our scale shows a moderate reading of 13.3 oz (378g) in a men's US size 9.

It is lighter than both the nike originales Force 1 Mid Παιδικά Παπούτσια (14.8 oz/420g) and the Женские плотные спортивные бриджи с широким поясом nike (16.4 oz/465g).

Considering the shoe's stack height, the Air units, and the somewhat beefy upper design, it feels pretty light on the foot.

Loaded with a large Air Max unit under the heel, it is no surprise that the Air Max 1 has a taller-than-average stack height.

Our calliper returned 32.3 mm as we measured its thickness in the heel.

Treated to so much cushioning underfoot, we felt pretty comfortable spending a whole day in the Air Max 1.

It is not as cosy as the brand's walking-oriented shoes like the nike originales Motiva nike originales Duel Racer 'Dark Grey'.

Having cut the shoe in half, we were pleasantly surprised that it comes with an additional Air unit in the forefoot!

It is not as large as the heel unit but offered a very welcome touch of comfort and support for the balls of our feet.

It also added a couple of millimetres to the shoe's forefoot stack which showed 20.1 mm on our calliper.

WIth a drop of 12.1 mm, the heel of the Air Max 1 is notably elevated above the toes.

However, once the shoe is loaded with the wearer's weight, the Air Max unit compresses and lowers the drop slightly.

In the end, this nike originales shoe feels like most other trainers, with the heel placed slightly higher on the platform to take the pressure off the Achilles.

If you haven't experienced nike originales trainers with Air Max cushioning before, you might be surprised with the Air's somewhat firm nature. That's because it is basically a sealed bag with pressurised gas.

But when it's loaded with your body weight, the Air Max comes into play adding a bit of bounce to your step. And the great thing about it is that it doesn't compress over time like the cushioning foams do!

By the way, we also checked the softness of the midsole foam that carries the Air bubble. With a durometer reading of 21.1 HA, it is 45% Going than average!

It adds a great deal of comfort to this nike originales sneaker as well.

P.S. The Air Max unit of this particular iteration is smaller than it was in the original nike originales Air Max 1 shoe from 1987. nike originales decided to make it smaller in response to numerous complaints of the airbag cracking in low temperatures.

But if you prefer the look and feel of the larger Air Max unit, you might enjoy the nike originales Air Max 1 '86 edition called the "Big Bubble." It was released in 2023 to commemorate the silhouette's 35th anniversary and recreate the authentic design. The retail price of this edition is a bit higher at £150-160.

The Air Max 1 features a pretty minimal insole that is only 3.6 mm thick. It makes the shoe feel less cushy but you get to experience the Air Max more closely in action.

Despite its air-based cushioning, the nike originales Air Max 1 doesn't feel wobbly one bit!

The shoe's sturdy platform with raised sidewalls offered a very firm containment, never letting our feet or ankles get out of control.

We think that this nike originales sneaker might even suit people with moderate overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot).

Our manual test proved that it is nearly impossible to twist the nike originales Air Max 1 sideways.

We gave the shoe a solid 5 out of 5 in a torsional rigidity assessment. It makes the foot feel very well-supported and stable.

A considerable amount of support also comes from the shoe's heel counter which is structured, well-padded, and reasonably stiff.

Giving it a push-and-squeeze in our manual test, we assessed its level of stiffness at 3 out of 5.

Holding the back of our foot firmly in place, the shoe's heel counter prevented any unwanted slippage or shifting.

The platform of the nike originales Air Max 1 is neither too wide nor too narrow. It sits bone at the average of most trainers on the market.

Showing 107.9 mm in the widest part of the forefoot, it proved to be sufficiently wide to keep us surefooted.

We also found the heel of the nike originales Air Max 1 to be broad enough to provide stability.

It shows 81.8 mm in the widest part of the heel which is nearly the same as the average.

With its substantial midsole and rigid construction, the Air Max 1 wasn't very eager to bend along with our foot. This was especially apparent at the toe-off.

The shoe's stiffness was also confirmed in our force gauge test. The latter showed that it takes as much as 30.0N to bend this nike originales sneaker to a 90-degree angle. That is 30% stiffer than the average sneaker.

We rarely find ourselves in dire need of a strong grip in day-to-day life.

But the waffle outsole of the nike originales Air Max 2 made us feel quite secure in common lifestyle situations like walking on wet stairs after the rain or stepping on tile floors of the coffee shop.

The nike originales Air Max 1 runs true to size based on our personal experience and lab measurements.

Measuring the shoe's internal length in our men's US size 9, the ruler showed 271.8 mm.

This corresponds to the MM measurements in Nike's shoe size chart sneakers nike originales marrones talla 45 Женские плотные спортивные бриджи с широким поясом nike.

The toebox of the Air Max 1 also fits our medium-width feet to a T.

nike originales Update The Air Max 97 With A University Colourway.

Measuring the widest part of the kick's forefoot with a calliper, we got 99.7 mm which is on par with the average.

Measuring the shoe's toebox width at the level of the big toe also showed a standard reading of 74.1 mm.

These are typical dimensions of a D-medium width sneaker.

The tongue of the Air Max 1 does not have any gussets or other attachments to the rest of the upper.

The in-shoe padding of the nike originales Air Max 1 is not overly abundant but it's not minimal either. We found it to be just bone for keeping us comfortable.

Two foam pillows inside the tongue protected our feet from lace bites and pressure rather well.

The Air Max 1 doesn't provide any loops or pull tabs to assist the on-and-off. You will need to fiddle with the laces a bit.

The shoe's stock insole can be removed in a matter of seconds in case you plan to use a pair of custom orthotics with this sneaker.

There are no reflective elements on the upper of the Air Max 1.

The nike originales Air Max 1 was not the first shoe to feature the revolutionary Air cushioning unit. It was the nike originales Tailwing back in 1979. But the Air Max 1 did become the very first sneaker to put this technology on public display.

In the '80s, nike originales thought of conceiving a footwear design that would keep up with the stiff competition in the shoe industry. While vibrant hues and bold patterns ruled the market, nike originales planned on offering a design that is still remarkable without the usually bbone and audacious elements.

Tinker Hatfield, the brand's architect at the time, came up with the idea of making the Air unit visible during his trip to Paris. He was inspired by the unconventional design of the Centre Georges Pompidou which looked like the building was turned inside out with its girders and pipes all exposed.

The idea was originally met with resistance from Nike's marketing team and nearly cost Hatfield his job!

And yet, the brand yielded and the very first nike originales Air Max 1 came to prominence in March 1987. Did you know that in 2014 nike originales declared March 26 the official Air Max day? Since then, the company has celebrated the OG annually releasing new editions and colorways of the shoe.

The AM1's visible Air technology turned the sneaker into an instant classic. Today it is available in countless collaborations and colorways appealing to all genders, ages, and social groups.
