Nike Air Max Excee Review – A Closer LookThis post contains links to our affiliates. We may receive a share of the sale if you purchase from the links below. MSRPTypeFitWeightMonths after its initial release I finally got my hands on a pair of Nike Air Max Excee sneaker and got the chance to review its features. This style is a brand-new silhouette from Nike and is said to take inspiration from the classic Air Max 90, that came out three decades ago. Releasing on the 14th of February this year, the shoe looks to bring back the classic materials of Air Max sneakers, whilst also having a unique contemporary design, that is more in line with today's styles. What really makes this model stand out however, is its surprisingly low price point of $90 which makes it part of the same under $100 club where the SYSTM or the Air Max SC also belong. Without sacrificing many of the materials that feature on more expensive Air Max’s, the Excee provides a budget option that is just as functional, without hurting your wallet nearly as much. Considering its price point and design features it falls somewhere between the Air Max Torch and Air Max 90. Out of the box it seems like a solid shoe with lots of seams that you don't see much these days on new releases. While a bit bulky, the design is quite catchy and modern if you're into retro sneakers. Pros
Cons
UpperThe upper of the Air Max Excee is comprised of a light mesh base, with suede and
synthetic overlays, that gives the shoe a unique look. A Nike Air tag is situated on the tongue, as well as on the heel, and Air Max is written in a stylized font on the midsole overlay.Overall, the upper has a very traditional style, however exposed stitching around the suede is a sign of the age this shoe is being released in, as this look has become increasingly popular since Off White’s ”The Ten” collection with Nike in 2017. There have been a several different colorways released so far with
many more to come, but my personal favorite, and the pair I picked up, is predominantly white, with hits of green, red, and blue. The color scheme and the shoes color blocking works well to mimic a 90’s Air Max, and the materials are more than adequate for a $90 model. Sole UnitThe sole of the Air Max 200 consists predominantly of Nike’s Cushlon Foam, with an Air Unit in the heel. In terms of looks, the sole strikes a resemblance to the Air Max 180, however with Nike having better
technology than they did 29 years ago, the Air bubble looks to be more durable, and much larger. Bottom LineOverall, to conclude my Nike Air Max Excee review, this is a decent sneaker with great bang for your buck, so if you want a traditional style Air Max, but don’t want to pay $130, then this is the perfect shoe for you. We personally have been very happy with my pair, and the general reception towards the shoe seems to be very positive. Our only real problem with the sneaker, however, is with its comfort, as although it is not horrendous, if you are planning on wearing these sneakers all day, you may want to consider an upgrade. There are several colorways to choose from and it seems like there will be many more to come.
