I recently bought a pair of air max 360, got a great price...but as the saying goes, "you get what you paid for".
I read all the fake 360 guides, but I was hopeful that maybe I might just get lucky and get an authentic pair. When they first arrived, they looked great. I examined them inside and out, looking for any imperfection, checking the serial number, insole, the box, it past every visual test. Now the true and most import test was how they would feel. They failed miserably!!! First, they were a bit narrow but Nike is known for making narrow shoes. Second, they were not comfortable and definitely did not have the bounce that the 360 is design for. I was definitely was not walking on clouds as advertised. I've had a pair of air max 180, the first time I tried them on, they felt awesome, with these I did not have the same reaction, but I was still in denial and even tried to convince myself that they just needed to be broken in. The next day I wore them and went to Footlocker and compared them to a real pair. Visually, identical, but when I tried the real pair on, there was a world of difference. The real ones were a bit wider and the comfort and bounce was evident. I went as far as having one real on one foot, and the fake on the other at the same time. They were two different shoes!!! Despite the great price I am going to return them and get my money back including the shipping cost. They can duplicate the looks of Nike shoes but the technology they can't..
