WALKING ON AIR. The Nike Air Max 270 Men's Shoe is inspired by two icons of big Air - the Air Max 180 and Air Max 93. It features Nike's biggest heel Air unit yet for a super-soft ride that feels as impossible as it looks. Benefits - Large Max Air unit offers responsive cushioning. 2-piece midsole offers durability and a smooth transition every step. Engineered textile in the forefoot offers breathability. Design lines nod to the original '91 Air Max 180.
