Since the 1970s, Nike has always aimed to improve its tech with one goal in mind: making it feel like you’re walking on air. Nike has always built on its previous breakthroughs, like its legendary Air cushioning technology showcased in the Air Max 1 that dropped decades ago. This groundbreaking cushioning technology laid the bedrock for countless silhouettes to follow, and the VaporMax is one of the first on the list.
The Nike Air VaporMax Plus is no different, in fact, it borrowed most of its aesthetic from the Air Max Plus — the original sneaker to don the wave-like design laid over a mesh upper. The Air VaporMax Plus, like its predecessor, is marked by Nike’s ‘Air TN’ meaning “Air Tuned.” Originally inspired by palm trees blowing in the wind, the shoe quickly grabbed the attention of fashion elites around the world thanks to its eye-catching upper.
A New Classic
The Nike Air VaporMax Plus ushered in yet another generation of hybrid shoe designs by taking some aesthetic of the OG sneaker — the Air Max Plus — and coupling it with high-tech VaporMax cushioning technology. The shoe may borrow from the ’98 design, but its next-level use of Air technology makes this one an instant classic all on its own.
