Grade School Nike Vapormax

Raising the Bar for Air

The journey of Air may have started in the soles of the Nike Tailwind in the ’70s, but the tech has since come a long way through the evolution of silhouettes that still stock shelves today. Nike’s Air technology became visible in the heel of the Air Max 1 and was even incorporated into the forefoot of the Air Max 95 — a sneaker gem yet to lose any steam decades down the road. Today, the Nike Air VaporMax again raises the bar for Nike’s cushioning technology with an entirely new approach.

The VaporMax’s cushioning tech actually uses less air than its predecessors which results in greater energy return, and with a full-length, translucent Air sole stretching from heel to toe, the sneaker is made to look like the wearer is floating on air. This tech underfoot coupled with a full-length lightweight Flyknit upper — one of Nike’s most innovative materials — adds to the shoe’s lightweight profile and snug, form    -fitting feel. With new colorways always on the drop and grade school sizing for both boys’ and girls’, there’s a Nike Air VaporMax sneaker for everyone right here at Foot Locker.
