Nike Air Max Hyperize Detailed Photos

The air max LeBron VII and the Hyperize are two Nike basketball sneakers that have garnered a lot of attention to say the least. They are easily two of the more sought-after Nike basketball sneakers on the market today. Therefore, Nike decided to sort of fuse both models together and call it the Nike air max Hyperize.

Specifically, this shoe simply owns the Hyperize upper and a full-length Air Max 360 sole unit that is seen on the air max LeBron VII. With that said, this shoe will presumably be one of the more player-friendly sneakers ever when it releases this summer. The lightweight capapcity of Hyperize combined with the comfortability of the air max LeBron VII should be second to none. As for the colorway, it draws inspiration from the Lithuania team (they placed Silver) that USA beat in the championship game 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. Nike will release several colorways of the Nike air max Hyperize this summer including this colorway. What are your thoughts on the Nikeair max Hyperize? Click here to view more photos.

Where Did the Air Max 360 Go

First, the air max 360is still a part of our running footwear line. In fact, we just released a significant update called the Air Max+ 2009. “360” is no longer part of its name, but the air max+ 2009 includes a re-engineered version of the full-length, fully visible Max Air unit that was a central component of the air max360. Improvements in this latest iteration include even better cushioning, a much smoother transition, improved flexibility and improved fit, with the latter delivered by way of a full-length bootie augmented with a Flywire-reinforced outer skin. The air max+ 2009 is also the first full-length Max Air shoe to offer support for Nike+.

As to why the air max360 is not part of the Bowerman Series, the Bowerman Series is a small, tightly focused collection of products targetted specifically at running specialty retailers. One of the expectations of those retailers and the runners they serve is that updates from one model to the next will be incremental, evolutionary and delivered on a consistent cadence.

The Air Max line, by contrast, is rooted in revolution, and the engineering challenges associated with significant advances in the full-length Max Air platform make it impossible for us to deliver against a pre-determined update cadence. So it just doesn’t make sense to include the Air Max in the Bowerman Series—it wouldn’t be true to the Bowerman Series or to the heritage of Air Max.

Now, you might expect me to say this considering who signs my paychecks, but I’m really glad that both exist. As a runner, I appreciate the evolutionary approach of the Bowerman Series, but, as a shoe geek, I love the irreverence and envelope-pushing innovation reflected in the Air Max line. Each informs the other and, in my opinion, the fact that both exist makes the running shoe world a much more interesting place

Nike Air Max 1 - Holland - White/Orange Blaze/Neutral Grey | Available Now

The air max 1 got a much-needed boot of energy last year with the release of Patta 5 Year Anniversary models. This colorway, much like the original red and blue models, air max looks to preserve the original styling and colorblocking of the famed sneaker, and this model is meant to evoke the uniform color of Holland’s national soccer team. This is the first among many releases that will be decked out in colors of countries whose teams will be playing in the World Cup. So, even if you’re not representing Amsterdam, these will be a pair to air max look out for in the spring, but you can scoop them now

nike air max shoes

At the end of 2009 we got a sneak look at the Amsterdam-based air max and the collab with Nike. In the collab they produced four colorways of the Patta x Nike air max 1. There was also a fifth unreleased Nike air max 1, which caused a lot of confusion being that people were trying to determine whether it was Patta, or Dutch artist Parra that it involved.

So now we know that it involved both parties, as the design came from Parra but will be released by weargood.com

The air max Classic BW starts with a black toe box in fabric. The double layer of mudguard is in black and white. The perimeter of the mud guard forms an interesting border of black and white. The frame of the Nike Air Classic BW lace hole is in black leather and it defines the midsection too. The black colored tongue ends with a blue colored tip and blends in with the blue collar at the ankle.

Theair max BW has a collar at the ankle. The bright blue is a nice accent. The white stripe aligns itself with the white layer of the mud guard. The Nike swoosh runs over the striped mudguard. Nike’s running shoes have thick midsoles and this pair has one with blue accents. The blue strip in the midsole coordinates with the blue colored collar of the Nike Air BW Sapphire. The back tab has a strip of black that is decorated by blue lettering of “Air Max”. This is a good looking running shoe.

Air max 90 leather and air max 90 360

The hybrid of the air max 90 and the air max 360 is quite poetic when you think about it. The air max 90 was a legendary air max shoe which was at its time the best running shoe and later became a favorite casual shoe. The Air Max 360 which released in January 2006 is by far the most advanced Air Max running shoe ever. Cross the two and you get a nice looking shoe with incredible cushioning.

Now, let’s reading some report about air max 90 leather. Following is an article about max 90 leather This is a look at the Air Max 90 Infrared Current. Hype had this to say; "Countless years ahead of its time, the air max 90 leather has some how managed to continue to stay relevant almost 20 years later. Although many have traded in the AM90 as their weekly pavement pounder for more updated and contemporary sneakers, air max 90 leather design is still very much a design accomplishment. While in Beijing, a Nike Sportswear footwear designer explained that although many people want the best performing product, why not update one of the most aesthetically pleasing sneaker designs of the last 20 years? Makes perfect sense to me and the updated air max 90 360 Current doesn't veer too far off its original path while upholding improved performance. Mind you I can see just as many people snatching up the air max 90 360 for casual purposes then performance use."

air max 180

The Nike air max 180 is easily one of the most overlooked and underrated running shoes Nike has done, so it’s good to see that it will be getting its due in 2010. The shoe will release again, in two different colors than anything we saw last year. The air max 180 white/midnight navy-solar red gets the “infrared” treatment,
