The 2014 Nike Running Shoe: Attractive and Functional
The Nike brand has been the choice of footwear for men, women and children for over 50 years. It was a company that started small with the belief that anyone could be an athlete, and the right footwear was an important first step to making that happen. Over the years they have expanded their line to include shoes that basketball stars, runners, soccer heroes and many more rely on both during competition and for everyday wear.
There is no question that they have succeeded in combining an attractive appearance with a functional, durable shoe. The nike airmax 2014 is an obvious example of why they continue to remain at the top of the must-have shopping list for millions of people, whether they are athletes or not.
With the nike air max 2014 the shopper is able to purchase a solid running sneaker that has historically been popular with many runners. Despite its popularity, Nike was aware that there were still room for improvements, and those updates have been added to this version. The most notable is the new rubber outer sole and additional layers of material on the upper.
For comfort Nike has included a cushion support foam that is able to soften each step and provide what has been described as a “cloud-like” surface for the foot to rest on. The sole of the sneaker is flexible due to their flex grooves that have been standard on multiple models of this running shoe, making movement easier. A mesh upper allows ventilation to keep feet dry as well as provide additional comfort. These shoes fit securely, but to still allow feet the freedom of movement they need during a run.
Because the air max 2014 is a running shoe, it is designed to be lightweight and has a high arch for extra support. The durable rubber sole makes them perfect for running inside and out and can handle nearly any terrain without slipping. The inner sleeve has been removed and a softer fabric added around the ankle, preventing irritation even while keeping the ankle secure during a run.
As for appearance, the 2014 air max is still sporting the same good looks it has always been known for. It is available in a seemingly endless array of colors and designs. Even non-runners can appreciate the appeal of this simple, comfortable and effective sneaker. Because of the versatility of colors available, men and women will find something that appeals to them.
