Air Max has been out for quite some time while 360s were introduced in 2006. Look at the following articles:

Also look at this Wiki which has more information.

Basically, the Solas and TLs are Air Max or Total Air.

It's called evolution...Air Max went from closed soles, to visable air in the heal, to visable air in the ball and heal, to sole to heal visable air, to the current 360s.

The Solas are air heal to toe, just like the 360s, shoes with only the visable air in the heal are 180s.
