These are extremely comfortable. I'm a photographer, and regularly need to stand for 10+ hours straight. These are the only shoes that I don't feel fatigue/soreness while working, and the following day. They look very nice too. Although they look similar, I almost like how the SC's look, on foot, over the Air Max 1's. I've since purchased 2 more pairs.However, my only complaint is the lack of color way options. I'm hoping we see more classic looking combos, along with some natural colors, like brown, wheat, flax, etc. Would like to see more regular leathers (over suede) as well. I'd buy them all!You can probably go a half size down in these. However, I stick with my normal size (US 10), since I sometimes add an insole.

I just purchased these as a gift for my son for Christmas. I swear these shoes are the best. He plays sports and is very athletic so we are always looking for something new. They run true to size. Lightweight and durable. I like the color, which matches our college football team. I wish they offered some kind of buy back program ( for all the shoes he can no longer wear). I know these can be pricey at times, so I try to find sales, discounts and check the outlets. In the spring we will need lacrosse cleats. #nike #sports #equipment #team-gear #sneakers

Air Max is the way to go!

My son needed a good pair of shoes to start off the school year. he had been eyeing these shoes for sometime now. he says that they're very comfortable I like the style because it goes with everything he wears. He wears them all the time. Nagy always has great designs and good quality shoes. It would just be nice for the kind of money you spend on Nike shoes they would give you much higher quality insoles for lasting comfort.

Design Wonderful. Functionality poor.

A beautiful comfortable runner. Great looking. Is of course the wonderful Nike Brand, but the large raised upper back tongue-like part of the shoe above the heel cut into the back of my foot where the leg joins the foot and gave me a raw blister within the first two wears. That back upper piece of shoe comes to a large rounded piece while some runners have a scope at the upper back to allow leg and foot movement. So a great looking runner, but poor functional design. Worn them 3 times only since purchase with Band-Aids protecting my back ankle/leg from that pressing raised tight part of the Runner.

Dissapointing

About 8 weeks after purchase the back of the heel split open inside, revealing a piece of plastic that rubbed the back of my sons heel making him bleed and causing a blister. I managed to remove the sharp plastic and cover the hole with plasters as a temporary fix just till the end of term... my son says the shoe is too uncomfortable and keeps causing more blisters and bleeding to his heel. Always bought Nike as they tended to last usually. Don't understand why they have used hard plastic as a back to the heel? Odd design.

Excellent Casual Shoe at an Excellent Price

These are great casual shoes, and are comfortable for the price. I picked them up on a whim and haven’t been disappointed at all. They are true to size for the most part but I wouldn’t recommend if you have a wider foot, they felt a little narrow to me. They come in several nice colorways and look good with shorts (khaki or athletic), or a nice pair of joggers. If you’re looking for a performance runner then this isn’t the shoe for you, but if you want something that looks nice and feels good for some casual walking then these will definitely work.

Good for running

Grabbed a pair of these when they first lanched to use for work. Two weeks of wear and the outside bottom soles began to separate from the bottom of the shoe. It's almost like the adhesvie that was used to glue them on just stopped being sticky. Disappointed, but switched to using them for outdoor running instead and they have been doing surprising well. They fit tighter than usual and are very light weight-wise which makes them great for running imo, but the logevity in the quality is lacking.

Perfect seminar / conference shoe

So I attend alot of seminars and conferences for work. This usually means business casual dress code and horrible uncomfortable leather shoes.I thought I'd give these Nike Air Max SC Leather shoes a go.We'll I've gotta say they're absolutely awesome. Standing all day I had no foot aches or fatigue. They present well with dress pants or business pants. They can be shined up a bit if you want to go down that path.They don't stand out either, so they don't directly grab people's attention, but when they do notice it's always "why didn't I think of that".You'll be disappointed if you DONT buy these. Trust me.They're that good.

Shaped Like A Sneaker Should Be

I really like the NIKE AIR MAX SC over the AIR MAX 90. First, the price difference and the SC is cheaper and I can't tell the difference between the 90 and the SC except for some additional rubber on the 90.The SC, which I have in black w/white swoosh and the white, grey, w/blue swoosh, are shaped anatomically like a sneaker that goes on a human foot meaning that the toe box is wider across the sneaker, which is where the ball of your foot goes, and the toe front is tapered with the arch and heal being narrower. For some reason many sneakers aren't shaped this way anymore and either look like rectangular boxes or ovals and look terrible on your feet.The insoles come out so you can put your own in the SC and don't have to worry about it being too tight.I work in a ... MoreI really like the NIKE AIR MAX SC over the AIR MAX 90.

Get em you won't be sorry.

Understandably Below average quality for Nike

Look from afar like AM 1’s but definitely don’t feel like them.Bottom line they are a Nike fashion shoe. Not built for running so don’t buy them for that purpose.As Nike say to keep cost down they cannot use the same quality of materials as their general Air Max. Also this shoe comes up easily a 1/2 to full size too big.How no one else has mentioned that is beyond me
