Affordable Kicks | Cheep and Cheerful | Nike Air Max SC: Review and On Feet

Back with a new installment to the Affordable Kicks series and in this video, I break down what I think is a highly underrated shoe and very similar to the very excellent Air Max 1. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Just got a pair and for the price, I find them to be a decent shoe. Found them pretty comfortable straight out of the box surprisingly

[@LakeishaOsbourne-bh1gb]

Yes they are very comfortable and low price!

[@wishbonetone9575]

I think they are a great shoe for the price, i just bought a pair in this colour purely cause i saw them and thought that is a nice pair of shoes and they look simillar to the nike air max 1 patta monarchs without the hefty price. They are stylish, comfortable, good price and great colour schemes the obsidian blue look awesome too

[@3kicksaday]

Agree - this is an all round good option that is also cheap. Not just a good cheap pair of shoes.

[@ic9459]

How similar are they to the air max ones? Any air unit difference?

[@3kicksaday]

@@ic9459 I think the biggest difference is in overall construction and quality of materials. The 1 just feels nicer but the SC are still a solid package at this price!

[@Skaterbun]

I got them on sale so I thought bargain, I bought women's ones and I thought they looked more like mens trainers. The profile looks cool and like you said the air cushion window is more for show as when I tried them on I didn't feel much bounce in the heel. What let's them down in my opinion is the nylon mesh, I prefer plain material rather than the waffle effect as it makes them look dated buy not in a good way and cheapens their appearance. But.youre right that if this was say leather it would be way more expensive, sometimes it's better to just spend extra to get what you actually want, just my personal preference.

[@sillyz862]

I had a pair since 2020, lovely shoe

[@FightMang36]

I think you cant go wrong with these in your rotation. it's a good look for the price has the classic airmax 1 look but still is its own sneaker.

[@3kicksaday]

100! well said and it helps that the air max 1 isnt always available so it gets you into something similar if you did want that sort of thing

[@FightMang36]

@@3kicksaday I agree. One of the reasons I got em, but also like the air bubble style and the differences compared to the am1. I recently got the red white and grey colorway 🔥

[@jacknjill3000]

Late and just found out about the Air Max SC. Love the OG looks, but wished they covered the bottom with all rubber to make the last longer. Looks like they cut corner to keep the price lower, but i would have paid $20. more to have full coverage bc the foam is like wearing flip flops on city cement and how long will that last?

[@avichalvishwakarma6663]

This is my daily wear shoe and there is only one problem i faced with this. The outer sole is not durable at all. They miss rubber coverage at the prime spots of the sole and it got all smooth within 3 months of wearing them.

[@brandonohara4122]

Where can I find these white ones with the green nike check? I've never seen this color before

[@3kicksaday]

Got these from a store locally but not the Nike the website. It is strange how, with these models, the colourways available differ between stores

[@jamesansit5936]

Definitely planning a lacing vid - not sure what models but will hopefully get something up here soon!

[@3kicksaday]

Yea true but thats the thing with these lighter tones!

[@Truth_Seeker1]

They are selling these as shoes that’s why it’s little bit cheaper. All the Airmax I see are being sold as trainers.

[@docproof26]

Does the SC stand for super cheap? 🤔

[@3kicksaday]

Hahahahahahahaha

[@docproof26]

@@3kicksaday They’re low on StockX 🤷‍♂️

I actually havent seen any solid ones of these, except for white or black

[@Thisboyworking]

i found em on goat discounted 40 dollars for my size! they are still not here yet but for 50 dollars im pretty sure these cant be that bad

[@michaozga7825]

There was so much unnecessary fabric inside the shoe and it kept irritating my leg. I ordered 4 of them and all had some flaws. Sad.

[@michaozga7825]

Also the sizing is weird. The shoe is very narrow but looks very long

[@3kicksaday]

oh no way? My copy wasnt that bad and a lot of others have found some issues with sizing as well

[@michaozga7825]

@@3kicksaday I’m also waiting for Nike bolt but so far I did like 15 returns. I only kept Nike sb chron 2 - which look small but fit great and have really good quality. But I also need a sneaker for colder days. They have so many issues. 🤪

[@Truth_Seeker1]

I had no issues with them. After they ripped I couldn’t get more as they were out of stock at Sports direct.

[@AB-hs9pw]

Can we use this for outdoor running and gym?

[@3kicksaday]

Probably not for running - i wouldnt but gym would be fine!

[@alxsles]

Can you do a video of how to lace them loosely

[@nayankakati4293]

Which Air Max do you recommend, Air Max SC or Air Max Excee?

[@Adeel808s]

I'd say SC is slightly better than Excee both in the realms of comfort and quality.

[@davidrojas6457]

​@@Adeel808s I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. Owning both, I would say the Excee is significantly more supportive internally, which for some people might mean "less comfortable", but they do require more wear-in. Overall, I would say the Excee is more rigid/supportive, where the SC is more loose/casual. The materials are about the same, with the main exceptions being that the Excee has more durable rubber soles and slightly better laces. There are also a lot more colorways for the Excee.

[@charlesbawden5924]

Great vid. Subbed

[@3kicksaday]

Thanks man!

[@atanuchatterjee4325]

What is the height of the sole?
