Our verdict
Without a doubt, the Nike Air Max Genome reels the sneakerheads in for the right reasons. Its silhouette shouts the renowned Nike Air Jordan 1 High Zoom Comfort Black University Red UK 7.5—enjoyable not just on the eyes but also on the feet. Although it displays a fresh face, this kick impressively retains the comfort level the AM models are renowned for. In every lace-up, this sneaker turns any ordinary day into an Air Max Day.
