My typical schedule usually involves a very early morning workout plan, so I only use certain shoes for selected occasions—if I am travelling, then I have lightweight trainers that I pack with me, etc.
I recently tested out the new Nike Air Max from JD Sports, a UK based retailer for branded sport goods and performance apparel. I really liked these trainers in the first wear, but there are pros and cons. Although, I am a Nike fan, my usual brand for trainers are Adidas, however I wanted to try out this Air Max style because I have heard a lot about them.
I do have an older pair of Nike trainers that are just really for easy wear or what I call for “fashion sake,” as they look good but aren’t specifically for major running support. The Air Max 2014 is definitely for active wearing, and they feel very comfortable with an easy gliding sense about them. I chose neon (white/black/green) colour because it’s far different from any of my other trainers.
Pro benefits: as far as performance, so far two and a half
weeks in they are great. The true test was running and biking, which in the
past meant that this could make it tough on my shoes. Even wearing these for an
extended amount of time of 8+ hours felt nice, so the shoe held up its claim
for providing maximum and flexible cushioning support.
The con is that unfortunately if you were looking for a
budget-friendly shoe, then perhaps the Nike Flex
2014 would be better, because this particular style is a bit pricey. But, don’t
worry; there are other versions
of this shoe that may suit your needs.
For my preference, I wish the back part of the soles were
slightly smaller, because the shoe makes your foot look much larger than it is
in my opinion. But, listen, given the fact that it’s designed to distribute
your weight more evenly, and has flex grooves for forefoot suppleness, I reckon
it makes complete sense.
The Air Max with the visible heel has been around since
1987, and its silhouette is a classic late-seventies style that has been
engineered and much improved every year. I would recommend the Air Max soles
in general, especially for a sport enthused or athletic person.
What is your favourite brand for trainers? Have you tried the Nike Air Max?

Hiya Mahshid, thanks so much dear. Yes, I also loved JD in the UK when i was there. Adidas has always been my goto brand, but I am also loving Nike so much.
Happy weekend. xx/Madison
Hi Mahshid, Thanks so much for your lovely comments dear. Ja, weil das ist die Familie meines Vaters aus Bayern und der Schweiz, aber jetzt weiß ich nicht sprechen Deutsch so oft wie ich als Kind getan hat. Ich versuche mein Bestes! haha. 🙂
lg,
Madison xx
wow!! Madison, ich habe gar nicht gewusst, dass dein Deutsch so gut ist!
This is a very helpful post. I could do with a good pair because I recently took up running again after two years of not really doing any exercise.

Thanks! xx
Thanks Sherin! 🙂
🙂 Thanks Stanislava although, a bit pricey Nike does have some other styles that I mentioned too. Adidas are one of my favourites as well!
I recommend them, and the other styles that I listed are good options too. Thanks Jessica.
They are, in my opinion! 🙂
NB shoes are great too! I think I have more Adidas though, but both are wonderful. Thanks for reading Kim!
Thanks lady! I agree, Nike footwear is pretty amazing, I think I will give more pairs a try again. xx
Thanks! Yes, it's best that they have proper support, hehe. I'm glad that they are very comfy as well. 🙂
🙂 Good luck with getting back to your workout routine. Thanks!
🙂 I agree, they are definitely comfortable. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you. 🙂
Thanks miss b. I'm glad that you found this post helpful. I have had New Balance in the past and love them as well as Nikes.
Liebe Cla, Danke! Ja, auch Ich stimme Nike ist praktische und modische Sportkleidung
You are reminding me to get back to the gym! It's been hard to schedule time with baby in tow. I love the visible heel here – chic and functional!

Very very nice and sporty style 🙂
I found this post so helpful and informative. I often pop into our local JD Sports store as they have a good range of products. I'm currently wearing New Balance and I have been pleased with them particulalry as they are so lightweight which I like.
These shoes are super cute. I really like the detail on the bottom. I was supposed to collab with JD Sports over the summer, but it didn't pan out. Nevertheless, great addition to your workout gear. I'm too tired to get up early to workout, so I do it when I get off work instead.
Yay – love the sporty chic!

As athletic shoes go, these are pretty cute. Of course we all want our feet to look dainty, but I suppose getting the proper support is most important.

I am just getting back into working out again. I haven't tried Nike Air Max but they look great and I would love to try them.
How cute are you in your workout gear?! Digging those trainers – such a fab color!!

Unfortunately I don't workout anymore. But last time I went to run on the treadmill, I was wearing Adidas. I have 2 pairs of Nikes for wearing around town and they are super comfy and steady. I really want to buy an Air Max, but they are a bit pricey. Yours are very nice!

These look great, and light-weight shoes are something I also need to get my hands on one day…
