Rubber sole Supportive Flyknit upper is made from stretchy yarns to create a striking visual that's breathable and lightweight. It allows for smoother transitions and adds lasting cushioning. Collar sculpts the ankle for a sporty look that feels great while padding at the heel adds to the comfort. 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. Made to keep you moving, these sneakers just might be the closest you'll come to walking on Air. Originally designed for running but adopted by the streets, responsive heel-to-toe VaporMax Air cushioning puts a spring in your step. Plus, super-stretchy Flyknit fabric makes for an airy feel and easy-to-wear design while stitched-on Swoosh logos add a splash of visual intrigue as you float down the street.
