It all started in the late 1970s, when the brand debuted its now-revolutionary Air unit in the Tailwind. The success of such incredible energy return and propulsion eventually spurred the release of the Nike Air Max collection. Fast forward to 2017 and the introduction of the Air VaporMax, which builds on that integrity. The complex composition of these kicks makes them sturdier and more efficient than average athletic shoes.
Nike didn’t stop at just a single try, though. The brand returned to the drawing board time and time again until they got it right. Their goal was to create a responsive shoe that’s upper was fully attached to the Air unit. The result was a complete success.
Lightweight, stretchy, and form-fitting all at once, the VaporMax features a flexible Flyknit fabric upper that’s renowned for its comfort and adaptability. The kicks also feature the brand’s innovative Flywire lacing mechanism, which locks your feet into place and promotes a snug, consistent fit whether you’re jogging, shooting hoops, or going for a walk around the neighborhood.
Conceptual Design
The idea behind the VaporMax was inherently simple. The Air unit wasn’t so much a supportive cushion this time as it was a delivery zone — the point of impact allowed for more productive movements and greater energy with every step. Doing that without sacrificing flexibility and comfort was a tall order that the VaporMax filled easily.
More than just a functional shoe, this Nike sneaker is also a stylistic powerhouse that’s available in a wide range of colors from neutral to bright. Express yourself with brazen shades that span the rainbow, or keep it simple in a black or white. Finish your look with comfortable men’s Nike apparel — from joggers and hoodies to shorts and T-shirts, everything looks great with a pair of eye-catching VaporMax kicks on your feet.
