Nike Air Max 200

Nike Air Max 200 Blends Classic and New

Nobody mixes “tried and true” with “brand new” better than Nike. The Swoosh has done it again with the Nike Air Max 200, which draws elements from classic kicks into a futuristic silhouette that’s sure to catch all the right attention.

A Little of This, a Whole Lot of That

For keen observers and longtime fans of classic Air Max, the Nike Air Max 200 is a visual treat. 

The first element you’ll notice is the window to the visible Max Air cushioning, which is outlined and highlighted like the Air Max 180 and similar to the Air Max 90. Zigzag overlays on the toe box recall the Air Max Plus of 1998, which was designed to resemble the waving palms of a Florida beach. The concentric circles under the ankle collar make one recall the flowing lines of the Air Max 97.

Nature lies at the heart of the Air Max 200, too, which Nike describes as taking cues from energy radiating from the Earth. Like a lava flow and ocean waves, the Air Max 200 channels power and energy that knows no bounds.

But unlike a lava flow, it’s designed to keep you feeling cool.

Air Max, a Look for All Time

Air became visible for the first time in 1987 when Nike released the original Air Max running shoe. A carve-out in the midsole let us see what had been cushioning our every step since 1978.

Nike Air Max shoes were so popular that each subsequent release was an anticipated event. Each model brought a unique design and color story. And with sizes and styles for men, women, and kids, there’s an Air Max for everyone.

The built-up Air Max 90 remains popular with the “chunky” midsole being so on-trend. The Air Max 95 is as futuristic now as when it debuted, bringing its timeless design inspired by the human spine and ligaments.

There are others, of course, and they all feature Max Air cushioning as their centerpiece.

Try the Nike Air Force 1 High for a sleek white sneaker with the same Air unit as the Max. The padded collar strap ensures support for your feet while the perforations at the upper provide breathbility. 

If you’re opting for a casual look, choose Nike Air Max Slides from a variety of styles and colorways. They provide cushioned comfort all day long and feature a gore snap to keep your feet in place. 

However you build your Air Max look, finish it off with Nike Air apparel. Leggings and fleece pants offer high style or high performance, a Nike Air T-shirt is an easily layered staple for any rotation, and pullover or zip-up hoodies give you a layer of warmth to wrap it all up.
