ReviewNike Kid’s Air Max 97 Sneaker: A Retro Throwback That’s Still Got It
Okay, sneaker fans and parents, listen up! We’re diving into a real classic today: the Nike Kid’s Air Max 97. I’ll admit, seeing these shrunk down for kids gave me a serious flashback. I lived in my 97s back in the day – talk about a blast from the past! So, naturally, I was curious to see if the kid’s version lived up to the hype.
First Glance
Right out of the box, these sneakers just ooze coolness. They’ve nailed that iconic 97 look, with those wavy lines that everyone recognizes. The color options are pretty awesome too, giving kids a chance to express their style.
How Do They Feel?
Let’s be real, comfort is king, especially when we’re talking about shoes for kids who are basically tiny tornadoes. The product info boasts a “Rubber outsole with waffle pattern for optimum traction.” And you know what? It delivers! My niece put these things through the wringer – running, jumping, the whole nine yards – and didn’t slip once. Plus, they’ve got that “Air-Max element” to cushion those little feet. From what I could tell, it seemed to do a solid job of soaking up the impact. And the “Mesh inserts ensure breathability,” which is a lifesaver for active kids.
Sizing Savvy
Sizing can be a total headache with kids’ shoes, right? That’s why I was so happy to see a detailed size chart. They give you US, UK, and EU sizes, plus heel-to-toe measurements in inches. Seriously, this is gold for online shopping and avoiding those dreaded returns.
Built to Last?
Kids are notorious shoe destroyers, so durability is a must. I can’t vouch for years of wear and tear just yet, but the rubber outsole feels tough, and the whole shoe seems well-made. Fingers crossed they can handle whatever adventures come their way!
The Good Stuff:
- Timeless, super cool design
- Waffle pattern outsole provides great grip i
- Air-Max cushioning keeps things comfy i
- Mesh keeps feet from getting too sweaty i
- Size chart makes finding the right fit easier
Nitpicks:
- Could use more info on the available colors.
The Final Call
The Nike Kid’s Air Max 97 Sneaker is a winner for parents who want a shoe that looks good and feels good. It’s a fun way to introduce a legendary sneaker to a new generation, all while making sure they’re comfy and supported on their daily escapades. Sure, a little more color info would be great, but overall, these kicks are a solid buy.
