The Nike Air VaporMax
In terms of performance and design, the Nike Air Vapormax represents a significant step forward for Nike's Air technology. The Air Vapormax was introduced in 2017 after decades of innovation that began with the Air Max in 1987. In the Vapormax, Nike chose to eschew traditional foam midsoles in favor of Air units that offer superior cushioning directly underfoot.
Air pod soles provide a feeling of walking on air, while flyknit uppers conform to the foot for a sock-like fit. Performance-enhancing cushioning, responsiveness, and a distinctive, futuristic appearance have captured sneaker enthusiasts' imaginations.
