Of all the features on all the shoes on Nike’s formidable roster, perhaps none is more recognizable than the Max Air bubble. Now, it seems like a must-have, but when it was first released, it was revolutionary. It was discovered in the 1970s by a former aerospace engineer. The idea? Tiny airbags to soften impact. The first shoe to incorporate Air was the Nike Tailwind runner, and university studies quickly found that athletes used less energy while running in these shoes. And so a phenomenon was born. Nowadays, there are tons of Nike Air Max women shoes to choose from, but they all start with that Max Air in the heel. With our huge selection of Nike Air Max women’s shoes here at Foot Locker, you’ll gain a spring in your step in no time.
To the Max
The Nike Air Max line of shoes has been innovating since day one. And Nike continually drops fresh looks, such as the women’s Nike Air Max 270. Though it’s only been around for a few years, it’s quickly become a legend. It’s all about the Air Max unit here; in fact, it has the largest Air Max unit ever provided. At the same time, this shoe rises above the top in the fashion department. There are tons of fresh colourways, with plenty of bright and bold hues, such as orange, gold, and white. This shoe boasts a feminine silhouette that has sporty vibes for an ideal pre- and post-workout style.
There’s also the women’s Nike Air Max 97. When it was released in 1997, it took the running world by storm. It’s still doing that today, all because of the full-length Max Air cushioning. That unit is supremely comfortable for runners, providing endless energy. With a mesh and synthetic upper, as well as a modern slim rubber look, this shoe looks great, too.
And be sure to check out the Nike Air Max 90. The Max Air unit in the heel offers lasting impact cushioning, while providing that classic Max Air look.
