The technological evolutions were already integrated in the Nike Air Max 2015, the previous version, so the new Nike Air Max 2016 comes with few changes, and all of them are reduced to improve the aesthetics and comfort of this top of the range model of the North American brand. The Nike Air Max 2016 also has the same purpose of offering the runner maximum cushioning, maximum flexibility and maximum comfort.
The exclusive Air Max unit is presented with a tubular design, which, in addition to increasing flexibility, adds more air under the foot to achieve an ultra-soft stride.
The upper of this training shoe for neutral runners continues to feature lightweight Engineered Mesh fabric for increased support in the midfoot area and improved forefoot ventilation. The latter aspect is also aided by its inner mesh liner, which allows for a sock-like fit. In addition, the Flywire cable system is once again integrated into the laces, but in an arrangement that wraps around the arch of the foot, offering an adaptive and firm fit. The biggest novelty of the 2016 Air Max version.
There are also no significant variations in the outsole. As in its predecessor, Nike Running once again bets on transparent rubber, waffle-shaped, providing the model with optimal traction on different terrains, and increasing its durability.
