I don't think any sensible person would ever recommend these for running.Just copped my first pair of these today... the black ones with the TN logo on the side. Not crazy about the big logo, would have rather had just black but the price was right $90 shipped direct from Nike and I only going to use them for running.

Ok. Just wondering... are there any particular reason why these don't make good running shoes? Do they have issues with the air pods bursting or something? Weren't these originally designed to be running shoes? I'm no professional runner or anything, I just like to go for a run in the morning on my days off for a little exercise.

Not sure I think they were originally all made as potential running shoes but now technology has moved on they’re only good for lifestyle, TN has some of the better comfort out of air max models for me but I wouldn’t like to run in them, too heavy and not enough breathability
Flyknit trainers seem alright for running as do epic react flyknit

I said this a few months back, but I remember a thread way back around 01/02 when AMPs were in heavy rotation everywhere. Dude said he's seen these shoes everywhere and not once ever observed anyone running in them. 
Everyone in the thread agreed, nobody had seen anybody using this shoe for its intended purpose.
Take it for what you will, but even when these were new; they were used as a street shoe and not a jogger.

I can understand that, but my street shoes will always be retro jordans. I've been running in my almost 10 year old pair of J1s which are a full size too big (I had extremely flat feet back then). I know they are doing a number on my feet and knees trying to run in them. I guess my real question is, are these BAD shoes for running, or just not the best? People seem to prefer zoom air as opposed to the bubbles for running...

They aren't bad for running, the only person that can really tell if they're bad for you is you. Give it a shot. The newer ones will probably not last as long with creasing being more of an issue, but hey, they're your shoes. Wear them, run in them, ****, ballerina dance in them. You never know until you know.

Nah Nike Flyknit trainer is a model I’m not a runner but they’re comfy af
You're killing yourself trying to run in retro shoes. They may have been the intended purpose 20years ago, but the tech changed so much. Hell Converse were made as basketball shoes, but no body would play in those.
You need something light, and has good response. If you just running/jogging in straight lines, the vapormax is good too if you want to stick to Nike.

When the originals came out, they were running shoes
These retro release Air Maxes are more uncomfortable to walk long distances in than my leather sole dress shoes, so I don't think running in them is a good idea. Nike just re-releases them with the same/similar uppers, but the cushioning is bootleg quality

I ran track in these in middle school. I wore out the OG Black/Red/Purple fade colorway. Heel is kind of high for a running shoe. They didn’t help my time at all, but I looked cool.
