15 Nike Air Max Sneakers to Add to Your Collection
Despite how far your white sneakers will take you, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of a new pair of Nike Air Max.
No matter where you are in building out your luxury staples, there’s no denying that some of the greatest staples come from Nike. Despite not intentionally being associated with luxury, their range of Air Max styles have a way of instantly elevating a look.
Created in 1987, Nike’s Air Max sneakers quickly became one of the most popular men’s street style sneakers in the world. Nike even dedicated an entire day to their now famous Air Max sneakers, dubbing March 26th ‘Air Max Day’ in celebration of their success.
Since their conception, Air Max sneakers have evolved into thousands of unique colorways and over a dozen styles including the Air Max 1, Air Max 90, and Air Max 270. The Nike Air Max line was originally marketed as a running shoe, but the combinations of color and style quickly made the best Air Max colorways instant collectibles.
Air Max collectors all over the world rally behind Nike’s line and purchase them in droves, with some of the biggest Nike Air Max superfans owning over one thousand pairs. Doesn’t matter who the collector is, men and women love the Air Max just the same.
With so many Nike Air Max colorways available, we decided to pick our favorites currently available on Nike.com. Even with multiple Air Max lines, we seemed to like the Air Max 90 and Air Max 270 best. The Air Max 90’s carry the homage to the original Air Max while styles like the Air Max 270 are more futuristic.
No matter your Air Max sneaker preference, these are sneakers that look good with just about anything - wear them with joggers for maximum comfort or throw them on with a suit for extra flair.
Getting your hands on a pair of Air Max costs around $120 (unless you find some on sale) and can reach $200 a pair, and that’s if they’re not limited edition or collectible. Taking into consideration designer sneakers can set you back anywhere from $400 - $600 at minimum, that’s not a bad deal.
If you’re one of those ‘Adidas until I die’ kind of guys, you’ve never seen an Air Max. Take a second to make your way down this list of the top Air Max colorways we could find and then tell us you’re not a fan. If you make it to the end and you’re still not convinced, then your next drink is on us.
