Put an ultra-light bounce in your step. The heel-to-toe VaporMax Air gives you lofty cushioning, and the Flyknit wraps your foot in flexible, airy support. The speckled outsole, made with recycled Nike Grind materials, gives you durable traction.
Breathable Support
Supportive Flyknit upper is made from stretchy yarns and creates a striking visual that's seamless, breathable and feels light on the foot.
Walk on Air
The first 1-piece Air unit to run the entire length of a shoe, it allows for smoother transitions and adds unbelievable cushioning.
The Grind
Since 1992, Nike Grind has been using manufacturing scrap, unused materials and end-of life shoes to re-purpose into Nike Grind materials.
Nike Air VaporMax
After the 7-year journey from ideation 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.
