All in on the 720s
Yep, called "720" when it's not even 360. Who knows, maybe nike is saving true full-length bags for some "Air 1080".so it's just like the regular air max but they removed the bags for the forefoot and toe?
Anyway, they look nice, have some AM97/deluxe vibes. And longer bags make them look more balanced compared to 270.

Considering a 270 ID... any pics out there of the silver airbag?

Exactly my first thought re: new version of AM 97 sole. Someone at Nike needs a lesson in what degrees actually mean. 720 LOL. Would have to have an airbag that somehow wraps around the shoe twice to be an accurate description, obviously.
I do think these LOOK kind of cool. But I learned my lesson with the AF 270: it’s only about the looks, mostly. Hardly any—ok, zero— bounce to them. Comfy enough but just another shoe at the end of the day, no revolutions or breakthroughs to them. My Zoom-supported shoes are all more comfortable and certainly more bouncy underfoot. I mean, look how the bag is constructed. The center section your foot actually rides mostly on is a relatively hard plastic support structure. These things are far from walking on “air.”

Thats exactly what I thought when I saw the first pics of them. That huge plastic support in the middle basically neutralizes any type of max air under foot, hardly walking on air. Same with the Vapor Max, the air columns are on the sides when you look at the sole. No air is in the middle or directly under the foot.

But your foot is still suspended up by the surrounding air bag. You’re still benefitting from the “feel” of the air bag. I understand though. There is no air directly underneath the heel on the 270. So you aren’t directly walking on air.
The Air 180 had a concave design where the sole below the heel didn’t touch the ground either. You were supported more by the sides of the air bag while walking. Of course the 180 also had air under heel too that you would feel with heavier foot strikes.

I get that but ultimately it hardly feels real good, so how the setup technically works doesn’t really matter in reality. I like the 270s and they aren’t uncomfortable but the feel doesn’t match what you expect when you look at that giant air bag. That’s all I’m saying.
