Is the Air Max 90 easy to walk in? An honest review
Air Max 90 Review | A pair you want to wear for its cuteness
The shoe I'm reviewing this time is the Air Max 90.
It's a classic model that has been popular for many years, and I think it's a sneaker that many people wear because they like how it looks.
■ The Good Points
1. It's just so cute
The biggest appeal is definitely the design. The balance between the volume and the silhouette is great, and it has a real presence.
2. Easy to style with clothes
It's easy to pair with both casual and street styles. It works as an accent for your outfit and is surprisingly versatile.
3. Comfortable enough for daily walking
It's not extremely difficult to walk in, so it's fine for everyday use.
■ Things to consider
However, it might be underwhelming for those who love super plush cushioning.
It has cushioning, but the softness is modest compared to recent thick-soled models.
Since the Air Max 90 is based on older technology, it's a bit different if you're expecting the comfort of the latest high-cushion shoes.
Rather than for walking long distances, it feels more like a design-focused sneaker.
■ Why I still want to wear them
But, they're cute.
In the end, that's what it comes down to.
It's a shoe that makes me think, 'I want to wear these today.'
A sneaker you wear not just for function, but for the mood.
■ A little customization (improving walkability)
If you want to make them a bit easier to walk in, I recommend replacing the insoles.
I use the
New Balance
Supportive Rebound Insole (RCP280).
It adds a bit of cushioning and support, making them feel easier to walk in.
They are also sold at many
ABC-MART
locations, which is another plus since they are easy to get.
■ Overall verdict
The Air Max 90 is for
those who want to prioritize design, rather than those who prioritize comfort above all else.
Its role is different from the latest high-cushion models.
But,
it definitely has a charm that makes you want to wear it.
If you like how they look, that is the right choice.
