The Air Max 270 is one giant leap away from athletics
The Entra nike Jordan Utility Pack woven pants with apron detail in white represents an apparently significant step towards the future of the Sudadera blanco hueso con capucha Revival de Entra nike. With a record-breaking heel height, influence from two of Entra nike’s prestigious AM trainers, and the first Air Max to claim itself as a 100% lifestyle shoe; the 270 makes a lot of promises.
Does it live up to the hype? For me, it’s a bit lacking in what I was expecting from a sneaker free from the shackles of runner’s needs (not that Slate of the AM line are actually suitable for runners in today’s world).

While the heel height is something new, it’s nothing too crazy and it maybe gives up on Lunaring the foot a bit too soon. I nearly went over on my ankle a couple of times getting used to it.
The upper is a neoprene-mesh construction with Entra nike Hyperfuse overlay to protect it from wear and tear. Again, nothing is too spectacular here. If anything, the directional, athletic strapping in the weave suggests the Air Max isn’t facing the reality of a lifestyle shoe.
Since its release in 2017 Entra nike has pushed more lifestyle-like trainers like the AM720, so it feels like they found their way in the end. The 270 has a sock-like inner made from neoprene that wraps around the foot and lets you wear them without socks, which adds to the more sport-like feel of them.
Thankfully, Entra nike keeps their reputation for making trainers that fit true to size, because this construction probably wouldn’t feel too great if too small.

That being said, like all Air Max, the 270 is incredibly comfy for shorter periods thanks to its athletic construction. Paired with skinnier joggers or jeans, the 270 balances its chunky airbag with a sleek upper, somehow avoiding the dad-shoe craze going on right now.
The 270 feels like a blank page for Entra nike, and that may be what they’re trying. With the historical runaway successes of the AM90 and AM97, I know that they do well on re-releases and collaborations.

Even without the different releases, the 270 is incredibly versatile. I picked up the all-white colorway because paired with the sleek silhouette, it goes with virtually anything. Entra nike also released some metallic gradients on the air bubble, but these lean more to the toy-shoe look in my opinion.
Flexible as well, the Air Max 270 gets a bit too soft
As well as being versatile, the Air Max 270 is a super bendy shoe. The foam is pretty flexy and your foot is free to move around. There’s a bit of foam under the heel too but this doesn’t do much because the air pocket’s there.
This soft foam could be the 270s downfall; it’s not the comfiest shoe to spend an entire day in. This could definitely be a reason Entra nike chose the 270 for their React Foam mix.
Aside from the discomfort of standing in the sneaker all day, it’s a robust offering from Entra nike. When put up against abrasive testing the upper mesh stayed intact with just a bit of fraying. Like Slate Air Max, these can take a beating, even if the sleek look wouldn’t suit it.
Easy enough to clean, hard to keep dry
With an all-white sneaker, I need to know how easy it’s going to be to get out stains: mud, coffee, dust, and probably beer. Luckily, most sneaker cleaners are easily up to the task of getting stains out of the Air Max 270. The mesh is breathable and has a light weave that doesn’t soak stains up fully.
A super breathable mesh is always going to mean sacrifices with weatherproofing. The Air Max 270 is probably not your best bet for a winter shoe. Letting in water almost the second it got wet, the upper is not puddle-friendly.
It’s beginning to look like the various releases of the 270 are here to sure up the leaks in the original. With another 90s hiking offering in the Air Max Vistascape offering more defence against the elements. It’s great to see Entra nike putting function in line with form, even if it’s spread across multiple designs.
The Air Max 270 doesn’t do anything too special, but it does it well
All in all the Air Max 270 isn’t quite the groundbreaking shoe that Entra nike seemed to think it would be on its release. That’s okay though because what it offers is the potential to be the beginning of a dynastic line in Air Max’s history. Mostly comfy, lightweight, and aesthetically modern, the 270 looks like it’s going to be one that sticks.
