FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Air Max 270 React?

The primary benefit is the 270-degree Air Max unit in the heel, providing exceptional cushioning and impact absorption for enhanced comfort.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is a combination of breathable mesh in the forefoot and synthetic overlays for structure and support around the toe box and heel.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While they offer great cushioning for everyday wear and light activity, they are not specifically designed for long-distance marathon running. For that purpose, consider specialized running shoes.

How do I clean the translucent Air unit?

Clean the Air unit gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

What does 'React' in the name refer to?

'React' refers to Nike's proprietary foam technology, which is often incorporated to provide a soft, lightweight, and responsive feel, complementing the Air Max cushioning.

When were these trainers released?

This specific colorway, the Black Thunder Grey, was released on January 15, 2020.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While this guide focuses on the men's sizing and intended design, the style can be worn by anyone who finds the fit and aesthetic suitable. Women may need to adjust sizing accordingly.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Wear with appropriate thickness socks. Consider if the size is correct; if not, explore exchange options if available.

Discomfort in the heel area

The Air Max unit is designed for impact. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too constrictive.

Mesh material seems less durable

Avoid excessive friction or sharp objects. Clean gently and ensure proper drying. For extended durability, consider their use for casual wear rather than intense sports.
