It’s been a while since the last time that we saw New Balance models equipped with the Gore-Tex technology. But for a succinct discussion, let us examine what the Gore-Tex really is and how come it was implemented on footwear such as the New Balance MTG580.

Gore-Tex is considered to be a material that is typically based on thermo-mechanically expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and other fluoropolymer products.

This characteristic motivated New Balance to apply Gore-Tex on its shoes thus furnishing the MTG580 such durable composition which resists water.

The Ripstop exterior was coupled with leather trimming and a unique spot for the Velcro-backed “N” logo on the side panel. This feature allows you to pick the patch logo of your choice from Olive and Orange.

Nike maintains a regular lineup of running sneakers where the Air Max 1 belongs. From its first release in 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 boasted a unique air cushioning unit which was originally visible on the side until it appeared on both sides and back. Seeing the air unit as a beneficial feature, Nike extended its appearance on the forefoot. Since its debut, Nike has frequently introduced fresh and updated models in the same product line.

Today, we are privileged to review the Air Max 1 in its 2010 releases. Luckily, Nike has unleashed two colorways – the Bright Yellow Lemon and the Purple/Pink/Yellow.
