Ever feel like taking a walk in the clouds? This is the closest you'll get without growing wings. With lots of Air cushioning underfoot, and made from at least 20% recycled material by weight, this version of the VaporMax pairs ease with innovation. It has a stretchy Flyknit upper with a soft, seamless collar, while the bold Swoosh adds a splash of intrigue as you float down the street.
• Originally designed for running, the revolutionary VaporMax 2021 Air unit is made from recycled material and provides more Air underfoot than ever before.
• Our first 1-piece Air unit to run the entire length of a shoe, it allows for smoother transitions and adds cushioning you'll have to feel to believe.
• The stretchy and supportive Flyknit upper is made from recycled yarn and creates a striking visual that's seamless, breathable and feels as light as air.
• Rubber on the outsole adds durability and traction
• Traditional lacing
• Seamless collar sculpts the ankle and reduces hot spots
• After the seven-year journey from conception to release, the Air VaporMax represents a new era in Nike innovation. To truly capture the feeling of "running on air", the designers restructured the Air unit to be attached directly to the upper. As you step down, each lug gets pushed into the Air unit, ramping up the pressure. Then, as you step off, the pressure releases creating springy bounce with superior flexibility. Made for runners, the futuristic technology was quickly adopted by the street, bringing this light-as-air feeling to the masses.
