Nike always does things their way. In the case of the Air Max Pulse, you know they weren’t going to go the crunchy route often taken by perforated textile sneakers. Instead, this shoe has a vibe that says, “I only care about practicality, and am only incidentally stylish.” This, of course, was done on purpose, as the Air Max Pulse is inspired by the underground London music scene.
The textile construction is visually held up by leather and synthetic overlays, with lines that intersect from one overlay into the other, ensuring the entire look comes together. The vacuum-sealed accents up the cool factor 100 points, especially that exhibition heel that allows you to see Nike’s Air technology, which makes your bounces downright elastic.
