I don't like to hate but this is one of the worst designs in Nike history as far as cushioning goes. 270 and 720 alike, but the 720 in particular. They exaggerated the 97 design which was not great to begin with (cushioning, not overall design, I love how the 97 and 720 look). They should focus on expanding the implementation of react in stead of screwing up their Max Air line.

[@elitebose0088]

never had a problem with my 720s but a little con that I have is that when you go down off stairs, the back kinda rub against the stairs, leaving scratches on the air unit

[@koletichjbg]

@@shpatm i got this shiny green ones and thay havent poped and i own tham for around 8 months. But that protaction on the bubble will wear off if you walk scratch your foot too much. Pressure in the bubble it self gets worse over the time but its not something zo worry about since it makes it more comfy at least for me. Walking on this bubble is something els tho really is THE BEST airmax ever, you really feel the air and bounce whan you walk. You gotta get used to that booty tho cuz it hits the ground before your foot but its fun to get used to. Look wise its dope and makes u taller, get this pair with more rough upper cuz the smooth one gets dirty and ripped. Get a pair just know that this arent ment for running and sports, its for urban wear around the city. Sorry for my english still working on it since its not my mother language. Get a pair your money aint going to waste just be carefull and dont walk on sharp things. Even if you pop it(if its not booty pop) you wont feel it that much its still holding(but if you pop the booty you gonno drop)

Take a chance on a cheap or pre owned pair like I did. I'm a fat guy, like over 250, and mine are holding up fine. Wore them every day for months. I had the same reservations as you, that they would either randomly pop or in my case, collapse under my weight and so far neither has happened

[@SimianWonder]

They're an odd shoe, really. On-feet they feel like nothing else, even the 270 doesnt come close. They're totally unique and I love them for that. That doesnt mean they're not substantially flawed though. My pair are black/black/anthracite, they're a big, heavy shoe and the upper material isn't particularly breathable: wear them on a hot summer's day in Florida and your feet would be a sweaty mess. The grip in the wet isnt great either, so you cant really wear them as a winter shoe. You certainly wouldn't want to run in them (the packaging alludes to this, essentialy saying they'd been developed for walking strides, not running strides). They also benefit hugely from a breaking-in period. They felt a little stiff at first, but after a fortnight both the upper and the air unit had softened and allowed much more flexibility. This all sounds really negative, but they remind me of an Italian car; despite the myriad flaws, they're full of character, they're a little bit crazy and you cant help but love them. Even in my collection they still have a regular place in my rotation alongside Ultraboost, AirMax 270, VaporMax, Pegasus Turbo, Presto React and 350 V2.

[@SimianWonder]

@Joshua Wallace If you were disappointed with the 720s then dont get another pair. The Presto React are excellent, especially considering their relatively low price point, but they're a casual wear shoe and not everyone loves the way they look (though I do). You wouldn't go running in them, and personally I wouldn't go to the gym in them - and the same applies to the 350V2- whereas the Pegasus 35 Turbo I absolutely would. It depends on what you're wanting to do in the shoe.

[@even3825]

Best shoe review I've read in a comment section! Thanks a lot

[@barberism24]

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

Tried this on feet in the store and passed: I appreciate that some people "get used to them" or that they break in, but really, there are no so many shoes that feel amazing on feet the second you put them on and take a few steps (Pegasus Turbo, Ultraboost 19, React 55, Zoom All out Low etc) that unless you are really in love with the 720s design, it's really not a shoe that has much real world appeal.

[@vasilikismokoviti3090]

Big fan of Nike. My bubble actually popped after wearing them every day for the past 7 months. Just bought the MX- 720-818... although I am still afraid of the bubble, I loved the stability of this shoe and the sensation of “walking on air”...also I love the design of the MX- 720-818 even more than the 720. The “big butt” of the shoe has its pros and cons.

[@s0ja012]

How are the MX 720-818 holding up? My 720 popped month ago and I ordered 818 2 days ago but I’m worried About the bubble.

[@jayoodaboss]

I've had the iridescent ones since they came out. I don't wear them daily but I wear them attest 2 times a week. I haven't worried to much about the air bubble and they still look brand-new. These are some of my favorite shoes and I recommend them.

[@thestarseeker8196]

I always end up liking the unpopular thing 😂 720 is in my top 5 AirMax models. I take both the comfort and colorways over the 270. I have Triple Black and Be True and this model was just instantly comfortable for me. The heel cushion is wild, and this model just plain looks great. VS the 270 I think the upper on 270 is way too fragile and high maintenance (still enjoy mine), whereas the weakness of the 720 IMO is the bubble seam close to the front…less flexibility than the 270.

[@Demogorgo]

I bought them for the full retail price when they came out and i don't regret it because i got a color that i like. Some of these discount prices are amazing, but they made some horrible colorways

[@TheOpenmindStudio]

Bought a pair of these today, my first ever 'proper, expensive' kicks. I'm literally so excited - even bought five pastel-coloured t-shirts to match the styling I have (but oddly, I can't seem to find the name of it anywhere; it's white with blue-to-green air bubble, and then a bluey-purple reflective sides and toe-tip)

I bought the 720 be true edition in June and I’ve had no issues. Love the shoe. Only con with them is that they’re a lil snug. I wish I had gone a half size bigger. Then I just bought the 720 Jordan black. They’re so comfortable I love them. I’m very active in my Jordan 720’s and they’re very comfy and breathable. I was walking in the snow last night in them and didn’t have any issues. I’m looking to get another pair of the Jordan 720. Very supportive

I feel like the triangular shapes is what puts me off. A cleaner nit would be slick,

[@MrReece9]

I wear these at work. After 4 hours, my feet start to hurt. I love that the shoe gives me some height, but they hella uncomfortable for me.

[@precizshun]

i have this shoe. it’s very comfortable, sticks out but not too much.. very durable surprisingly. it’s cool to have a shoe that has that big of an air socket and it gives you some height. they are moderately breathable and have cool colors and different designs. i recommend it if you are a shoe collector or an air max fan.

That's one of those amazing coincidences where you have a women's colorway (guys tend not to like it) in a large size (too big for vast majority of women) of a model that is not selling that well (720), the store is trying to clear some extra room and they throw in an extra 30% off - that is what bargain hunters live for.

[@areksoo]

My pair has been fine (no bubble bursts), but I don't wear it too often. Maybe once a month... if that. I like the look, but it has too many flaws. The shoe isn't breathable and is unstable. The air bubble doesn't really add any comfort. I think the problem for me is the pressure on the heel is all in that middle part. Like your heel is resting on a beam. Maybe if it had more of a solid heel shank to disperse the weight all over the heel instead of right in the middle? Also with all these collabs and different materials, why haven't they made one with a 97 upper? For crying out loud, the shape of the 720 silhouette is identical to the 97.

I personally love the 720s. This is the only Air max model I actually felt like I was walking on air. I hope they stick with the 720 bubble, make improvements. But the one thing Nike must do is make a better more comfortable upper if they ever make a second model.

[@tr1geo]

Have you checked out the Air Max Zephyr Yet? It's an improved version of the 720. To me they're far more durable and comfortable.

[@andrewbartlett1968]

I’ve worked in a footwear store now for 7 years, issues we had with them, multiple pairs brought back a week with popped bubbles, even had pairs fresh from the warehouse, with a popped bubble. When parents are buying them for their children, it’s always one of the first questions they ask is about them popping, which is not good from our point of view that the consumers don’t have faith in the product. Also, we had a few pairs brought back with the front being so stiff that it’s caused people blisters etc, but I’m fully aware that could also be the customer not buying the right size. All round brilliant video though and agree on every point made!
