Is the Air Max 2017 good for running?

It can handle light jogging, but it is heavy and soft, so most runners prefer a lighter, more stable trainer. It works best for walking and everyday wear.

It runs long and roomy. Many owners go half a size down from their usual Nike size, especially for a snugger fit.

How does it compare with the Air Max 270?

The 2017 has full-length Air cushioning and a more padded, heavier feel. The 270 has a larger heel Air unit and a sleeker, lighter build.

Is it good for standing all day?

Yes. The full-length Air unit and padded collar make it a common pick for jobs that keep you on your feet.

Is the upper breathable?

The engineered mesh is fairly breathable for a cushioned sneaker, though the padding makes it warmer than a thin racing shoe.

Can it be worn for casual outfits?

Yes. The mostly black colorway is low-key enough for jeans, joggers and everyday casual wear.

Our take on the Nike Mens Air Max 2017 'Black'

The Nike Air Max 2017 is a max-cushion running-inspired sneaker built on a full-length visible Air Max unit under a seamless engineered mesh upper. It is the comfort-first end of the Air Max line: softer and heavier than the sleeker Air Max 90 or 95, and less structured than the Air Max 270. It suits people who want plush all-day cushioning and a clean, mostly black look rather than a fast trainer. Owners tend to like the underfoot comfort and the low-key colorway; the common complaints are the weight and a roomy, slightly long fit.
