Nike Air Max 270 React Sizing - What Our Product Specialists Think

I always cop true to size in the React 270 and there’s enough room to wear thick socks!
Paige, Writer
How does the Nike React 270 Fit?
I always cop true to size in the React 270 and there’s enough room to wear thick socks, but not so much room that they’re uncomfortable.
How does the Nike Air Max 270 React fit in comparison to the Yeezy Boost 700?
The AM270 React fits bigger than the Yeezy Boost 700. With the YZY 700, you should go half a size (or even a full size) up as they run small in their sizing – but you’re fine to go true to size with the React 270.
How do you style yours?
How do you clean your Nike React?
I always spray them with a protective solution before the first wear, then after that I’ll just wipe off any marks with a damp cloth.
Are these Nike sneakers comfortable?
The Nike Air Max 270 React are one of the comfiest pairs I own! The Air bubble at the heel absorbs any shock and the React foam cushions the foot perfectly.

I tend to rock the Nike React 270 with a cuffed jogger.
Miles, Restocks & Group Manager
How does the Nike Air Max 270 React fit?
They fit true to size for me! But sometimes I go half a size down as some iterations run ever so slightly big in their sizing.
How do you style yours?
I tend to rock the Nike React 270 with a cuffed jogger. I think they’re a bit too athletic to wear with jeans.
How do you keep yours clean?
A wet wipe or damp cloth does the trick when keeping this pair clean.
How do they fit compared to the Nike Air Force 1?
I would say they're quite a long, slim Nike model. For me having a wider foot I always go true to size or half a size down – whereas with the Nike Air Force 1 I have to go at least half a size down every time.
Is the Nike 270 React comfortable?
They’re a really comfy pair! The giant air bubble at the back gives them extreme comfort.

The Nike Air Max 270 React are exceptionally comfortable.
Chris, Online Content & Social Media Manager
How do they fit?
They fit true to size in my opinion. The felt upper gives a nice snug fit and if you are on the shorter end of the height spectrum, you need a pair of these to add at least a couple of inches in height.
How does the Nike Air Max 270 React fit in comparison to the Yeezy Boost 350?
Compared to Yeezy Boost 350s they run a bit bigger so I would suggest half sizing up from your normal size on them. So if you’re a UK9.5 in Yeezys, go for a size UK10 in these.
How do you style yours?
As always, cargos or a nice tapered jogger. They’re definitely a lifestyle shoe with a sportswear edge so keeping them casual is key. The vibrant colourways available also make them perfect in the summer so a denim short and tube sock combo is also on point.
How do you keep your Nike AM270 clean?
A specialist cleaning spray usually does the trick. The only issue with them is the nature of the material that once they’re dirty, they are difficult to get back to normal.
How do they fit compared to other Nike styles?
Compared to the classic Nike AF1 sizing, they fit smaller but compared to other silhouettes such as the Air Max 1 and 97, they fit exactly the same.
Is the Nike AM270 React comfortable?
They are exceptionally comfortable. With an Air Max 270 unit to the heel and React cushioning underfoot, this combination of technologies makes them arguably the most comfortable lifestyle sneaker on the market.

I love the way the Air bubble at the back gives heel cushioning and yet stabilises the rest of the shoe.
Emily, Paid Social & Digital Marketing Exec
How does the Nike Air Max 270 React Fit?
The Nike AM270 React fit like a glove! I love the way the air bubble at the back gives heel cushioning and yet feels stable throughout the rest of the shoe. One thing to note is that the sole doesn't have the most grip, so definitely more of a summer shoe than a wet-weather staple.
How does the Nike AM270 React fit in comparison the Nike Air Force 1?
The Nike Air Max 270 React fits half a size bigger than Nike Air Force 1s, although due to the stretchy material on the AM270 React, you probably could also true to size to your AF1s and they would still fit comfortably.
How do you style yours?
As the Nike Air Max 270 React is more of a “sporty” shoe, combining both React and Air technologies, I would see these fit more with a pair of leggings, perhaps on a day where I was walking around for a longer period of time, or running errands. However, if you were to wear the AM270 React as a lifestyle shoe, you could definitely rock these with a pair of jeans and they would still pop. I think black works best due to the large variety of colours that are available in the AM270 React and so the shoe really stands out.
How do you clean your Air Max 270 React?
Prevention is key with the AM270 React! The mesh is difficult to wipe once dirt is on them, so using a specialist spray prior to the first wear would be perfect. However, the material is super waterproof, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the rain.
Is the Nike Air Max 270 React comfortable?
The AM270 React are definitely more of a day-to-day casual shoe and are on the higher end of the comfort scale when it comes to Nike styles. I would compare these to an Air Force 1 in terms of comfortable fit and easier to wear than a Jordan 1, which would be for more ‘special occasions’
How Do Women's Nike Air Max 270 React fit? A special guest from The Sole Womens has the answer...

The lightweight material feels like a sock when on-foot.
Kelly, Content Writer for The Sole Womens
How do they fit?
They fit true to size for me, the exaggerated midsole gives them a slight bit of elevation which, if you haven’t copped an Air Max 720 or 270 before, you may not be used to. But the lightweight material feels like a sock on-foot.
How do they fit in comparison to the Nike Air Force 1?
In comparison to the Nike AF1 they fit smaller, of course you have to up half a size on the Air Force 1. So just go for your typical Air Max size with these.
How do you style yours?
I style mine more as a summer shoe because of the lightweight textiles, but with a pair of Mom jeans or sweats in the colder months makes this a really clean look.
How do you keep your Nike AM270 React clean?
I never wear them on rainy days and I'm super careful with where I’m stepping. I don’t really have a trick for cleaning them just be vigilant.
Are they comfortable?
They’re comfy! The elevated midsole is cushioned. With the react foam and of course the thinner collar just wraps around the heel perfectly.
