Does the Air Max 270 fit true to size?
The Air Max 270 fits true to size and is snug around your feet. The Air Bubble is hard, and the midsole has little cushioning, as I learned from wearing them for walks and workouts. For its performance and durability, the lacing system and heel tab are made with polyester and other materials, a core material in many Nike footwear.

Before buying the Air Max 270, here are some things to think about
| Pros: | Cons: |
| The upper is flexible and easy to put on. | Air Bubble “Unit” prone to popping |
| Upper- Breathable mesh and synthetic materials (polyester) that offer performance and durability. | Heel is hard |
| The rubber outsole covers the bottom of the air bubble and provides grip. | Not waterproof |
Editor: I think the Air Max 270 are good shoes that are easy to wear and match with different outfits. But I do not like how the heel feels hard and uncomfortable. Maybe I need some time to get used to it.
What size Air Max 270s should you get?
If you wear the Air Max 270 for casual wear, I recommend going true to size as you would for other shoes.
Narrow Feet
Although you may feel like they run big for narrow feet, you should get your normal size and tighten the laces slightly.
Medium Feet
Medium-width feet, the Air Max 270 trainers will fit snug on your feet; it’s best to loosen the laces slightly for the best fit.
Wide Feet
If you have wide feet, we recommend getting a half-size bigger than your usual size.
The Air Max 270 might initially feel too tight, but you can adjust the fit by removing the insole.
However, this will reduce the shoe’s comfort level, so you should wear socks with some cushioning.
Extra tips for wide feet
- The toe box of the Air Max 270 might be too narrow for wide feet. Try wearing thinner socks to reduce the pressure on your toes. This might make the shoe more comfortable for you.
- You can use a long shoe horn to slide your foot into the shoe without hurting your fingers. This will also prevent the heel from getting damaged.
How to clean Air Max 270?

- If your feet are between sizes or one foot is bigger than the other, choose the larger size.

I’ve been reviewing, buying, selling, and rocking sneakers since high school. Learned a lot since my first pair when I was 7 years old were And 1s (if you know you know). A lot has changed since the brand started in 2017 from reselling sneakers to now reviewing and writing informational content. The aim is to be authentic and honest with my opinions.
