Questions answered
FAQ
What makes the Air Max Pre-Day sustainable?
It uses at least 20% recycled materials by weight, including recycled polyester, recycled TPU, and repurposed manufacturing waste in the upper. Nike positions it as an eco-conscious entry in the Air Max lineup.
Is the Air Max Pre-Day comfortable?
The Air Max heel unit provides standard Air cushioning, adequate for daily walking and casual wear. It is lighter than many Air Max models due to the deconstructed upper, which some find more comfortable for extended wear.
How does the Pre-Day compare to the Air Max 90?
The Air Max 90 has far more cultural significance and a more classic design. The Pre-Day offers a unique retro-futuristic aesthetic and sustainability story. For pure style and versatility, the 90 wins. For something different with an eco angle, the Pre-Day has appeal.
Does the Pre-Day run true to size?
Yes, it fits true to size with a lightweight, breathable upper. The deconstructed construction means less structure than traditional Air Max models, so the fit is more relaxed.
