Pillow-Like Supportive Sneakers

Nike Revamped the Air Max for a More Cushioned Running Shoe

— March 27, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Nike Air Max 2014 collection features the classic cushioned running shoe with impeccable designs.

This shoe combines ultimate cushioning and flexibility for a comfortable run, with outstanding support. There are various positions of the shoe covered with mesh, which allows breathability and ventilation during exhausted movement. The lightweight foam adds an extra level of support that will work as a shock absorber and lessen the effects on your muscles from constantly hitting the hard pavement; plus it conforms to the shape of your foot for extra support.

This lightweight and supportive shoe is providing runners, athletes and fashion-conscious consumers with more support and functionality. Its clean look and various styles are versatile and can be worn for running or simply on an everyday basis.

2. Footwear - The footwear industry is seeing a trend toward more comfortable and supportive shoes, and companies that can capitalize on this trend are likely to gain market share.
3. Athleisure - The athleisure industry, which combines fashion and sports, is growing rapidly, and companies that can create stylish yet functional clothing and footwear are well-positioned to succeed.
