Our verdict

90
Great!

If you’re a true-blue Air Max collector or devoted to the ‘90s fashion, the Кроссовки nike air force 1 low utility is calling you. While it’s among the retro sneakers with a remastered build, it’s the closest you can get from the Air Maxes that offers a dad shoe-like vibe. AM96 Round II is far from looking cheap as it offers unquestionable comfort and durability.

For a bouncier and comfier ride, jump into the Air Monarch IV. It will be a perfect match if you’re into dad shoes. If you love the Air bubble layout peaking out from the midsole but are not a fan of the synthetic panels, try taking the Air Max 95 route. The layering of leather and fabric appears cleaner and sleeker than the busy, easy to get dirty layering on the AM 96 II.

Flaunts an authentic '90s spirit

From the original Sergio Lozano design, the Air Max 96 received its first retro spin with the Air Max 96 II XX, dropped in 2016 on the shoe’s 20th anniversary. Nike remastered the shoe by replacing its underside with the free shipping nike air max 1 mini swoosh pure platinum sailblackwhite Plus' sole

It makes you stomp and deliver a bold statement

The underrated Lozano masterpiece gets another retrospective makeover. This time with a noticeably bulkier heel but slimmer air bubble.

Retro-style colorways 

It has a modified upper that incorporates mesh against a series of flashy white synthetic leather overlays for upbeat styling. The design is close to the newer breeds like the Vapormax Plus and NIKE DUNK LOW SE SAIL MULTI CAMO 26.5cm

Aside from the OG Goldenrod, which is an addition to the bed of yellow sneakers on the market, this shoe is also available in Comet Red. Both colorways mirror the era of oversized shirts (and pants!), loose-fitting shirts, and bombastic graphics, no less, the 1990s.

It’s comfy and bouncy

Its Air cushioning fused into the heel and forefoot may not be pillowy, but it delivers shock absorption and optimum comfort. Hardcore Air Max fans label it as “super comfortable.”

A stylish choice for spring and summer 

It’s one of the chunky shoes with a busy design, ironically giving out a disarming charm. Wearers love rocking this with athletic shorts and crew socks, joggers, jeans, and a lot more.

Looking back at the Air Max 96 II's beginnings

Кроссовки nike air force 1 low utility is a running shoe by origin that belongs to the celebrated free shipping nike air max 1 mini swoosh pure platinum sailblackwhite lineage. Its design is a spinoff of the Air Max 95 running shoe with a visible Air unit on the heel and forefoot. Let's go deeper into its origin and backtrack a bit. 

Nike changed the running world’s landscape when it introduced its NASA-inspired Nike Air as a bouncy cushioning component for running shoes. Since its launch of the Air Max 1 in 1987, boasting the innovative Air bubble, Nike’s obsession with this technology grew through the constant release of new styles. 

Some of them, such as the Air Max 90, Air Max 180, Air Max 93, Air Max 95, and Air Max 97, have headlined Nike running shoes and watch among the highly sought retro sneaker releases today. 

Кроссовки nike air force 1 low utility history

However, some of them didn’t create much steam when launched. One of these shoes is the Air Max 96, which was overshadowed by two Bulls shoes that came before and after it. These are the AM95 kicks designed with stylish gradient waves and the AM97 that boasts its visible full-length Air.  AM96 adopted the same sole design as its predecessor but had a cage-like overlay inspired by ocean waves. That didn't create many ripples. 

On its 20th anniversary, AM 96 returned, much lighter and more stylish. Rebranded as Кроссовки nike air force 1 low utility, the revamped style is made with premium, durable, and comfy makeup. Since its drop, the number of colorways continues to grow for the Air Max 96 II. The once-underrated shoe is getting the audience it deserves, a mix of sneakerheads, diehard Air Max fans, and sneaker enthusiasts.
