The Air Max Chronicles

The Nike Air Max has been around since 1987, that's 23 years of stylish running shoes. Over the years, Nike has continued to reinvent the Air Max, and ultimately this has made the Air Max a style icon. Available in countless colors and iterations, the Air Max is always a trendy and comfortable choice.
It all started with this, the Nike Air Max 1.













Some of the most popular evolutions have been, the 95's,














97's,












and the more recent 2010's













They're all really great sneakers, but what if you were to combine them? What if Nike pulled a has-been pop star move and released a "greatest hits" sneaker, one that combined the best design ideas of its three best selling Air Max's? Well, they have, and here it is, the Nike Air Max 24-7







With the sole of a 2010, silhouette of the 97, and the design of a 95, the 24-7 is almost flawless. I personally own a pair, I had been looking to buy a pair of Air Max's, but the 95's sole looks awkward to me, the 97's color schemes are hit or miss, and the 2010 lacks the style of its predecessors. But with the 24-7 you cant go wrong.
Yet it all comes at a price, a legit pair can go for anything from 90-165 dollars, but they're worth it. The 24-7 might be my first shoe to get an encore purchase
