The Solas are air heal to toe, just like the 360s, shoes with only the visable air in the heal are 180s.
I'm really not sure what evolution has to do with two different technologies and product lines. Your thinking is that two product lines are the same with the same technology. I provided you links that clearly show the two are different.

The Solas are air heal to toe, but they are not 360s. All Air Max shoes do not have Air Max throughout the entire shoes thus the term "Total Air." Similarly, Air Max 180s do not have the same sole as Air Max 360s; if they did there would be no reason to have the two names. Additionally, it isn't just a matter of what you can see. There is also Zoom Air to consider which has a totally different feel. I don't even think you realize what 360s are.

"Air Max 360 features a full-length Air-Sole unit that has no foam, just pure Nike Air cushioning to provide the softest, smoothest, and most durable experience created in an Air Max shoe to date. Runners will be able to run directly on Nike Air for the first time when the shoe hits retail stores Saturday, January 21..."

360s are also considerably lighter than other Nikes which you should know since you own the Solas - I've owned these too - and TLs. When all else fails, Total Air (Max) and Air Max 360 soles look different.

Do you still think the Solas are 360s or do we need Phil Knight to settle this?
