Nike Air VaporMax

[viskor]

Looking to cop my first pair of VaporMax...

Pure plat or glacier blue?

and are these jawns as comfy as they look?

correct, the bad reviews are from dudes who wear them for 10 minutes

it's actually funny the difference between women's reviews vs men's reviews

you can tell women's are after actually using them and men's are just an initial 50 steps around the crib

The first time I wore VMs was very uncomfortable. But I realized the problem was that the lacing was too tight, pushing my feet into the sole. After I loosened up the laces, comfortability went UP! And now I'm finding myself wearing my TB Noirs more and more now. The solid support provided by the VM sole is better than the Boost for long term standing from my personal experience.

Thanks for the insight viskor! These are on my short list to purchase. I am waiting to see other colorways though. Can you please post a photo of your pair on your feet? I want to see how they look while being worn. Thank you!

I experienced the same. Lacing is very important. Break in time is crucial as well. I was skeptical about the break in and I thought it was overblown or just wasn’t for me. But my pair finally broke in. Feels nothing like the first couple wears. Now I have regrets about the colorways I passed on.

You're welcome. I shall upload when I get the chance. Good thing I brought them along to Korea or else you would have had to wait a week for my picture I think I made the right choice to make the TB Noirs my first pair. Brings down the outlandish-looking factor of the soles.

Funny how that is with the lacing. Good to know I wasn't the only one.

I guess the mesh design on the uppers is not liked by a few. It does not look as good as the flyknit uppers, but it still looks good. The mesh design on the vapormax looks way better than the 270s.

if they charged 50% of the flyknit vapormax price for the mesh then they would sell. But only 20 euros off the flyknit price and think peeps that thought the flyknit vapormax were too expensive will suddenly cop these? Must be smoking crack!

 

[Frye2017]

The price was is high because of the outsole VaporMax. Not because of the uppers. The uppers do contribute a little more to the price of the shoes versus mesh, but probably not that much.

 

[bobert78]

looks like there’s navy on these too

 

[noblekane]

just a friendly reminder

all vapormaxes matter!!!

 

[jsuphk]

These just arrived! A little snug but should be ok. The mesh ones are sitting over here.

 

[dragicon]

^ I will certainly be getting that pair

 

[UnicornHunter]

What's up with the touch of crimson ? I for sure thought this would not sit

 

[superblytrife]

^ Too many colorways and too expensive. People, myself included, have to be selective about which pairs they buy. Inevitably some pairs will sit.

let's be honest though, the outsoles may be expensive to produce, but if flyknit vapormaxes on sale can be sold for 150 euros and probably still turn a profit for retailers, then there is no reason why the mesh vapormax should not be 150 euros or dollars.

nah mate, these are the unloved children that you keep in the cupboard and only let out when there's no guests around!

Not only that, but colorways seem too similar to ones already released. I have 2 colorways and I am good for now.

 

[Frye2017]

Here are 3 more colors ways from SneakerNews website. I like the blue.

You are right. A lot of the color ways I have seen are some sort of black base with a quiet colored undertone.

 

[sectumssempra]

I have 2 color ways too.

I might be done with the model until they get more creative with the materials on the flyknit model. 3m flyknit maybe, some iridescence, something.
The alterations on the model don't feel nearly as fresh as the simple all flyknit pairs.

There are a lot of shoes right now and it's not nearly as ridiculous to get your hands on non super hyped ones as it was a few years back, so it's hard to justify 200 a pop on like 8 of the same model.

 

[Joveezus]

Anyone know where I can find the 95 neon inspired ones in a 10?

 

[berkowitz]

waiting on blue lagoons.

 

[dragontales]

Waiting for this grey/blue colorway to drop. Sneaker sites says 11/2 but I have not seen it anywhere for sale. Anyone got info on this colorway?

 

[9th Wonder]

Wish the whole vape max unit was clear on those

 

[nostalgia94]

are these still coming out? And I wish they would use that iridescent swoosh on a colorway other than grey so we could get something like the very first Vapormax colorways shown but never released.

 

[Frye2017]

These 2 are nice and way better than anything that has been released until now...

Wait until next week, and buy them on Nike.com

Third one down is on Nike.com right now, 4th one down has released many months ago, second to last one is the end of this month.
