After 5 days I'm looking to get buy a 2nd pair
I bought these originally b/c I got sucked into a sneaker culture forum and got hooked on cool gym shoes. I am not a runner, but I workout at the gym and like to walk a lot. I liked their look and since I enjoyed my AirMax for daily use I thought I'd spend the money and try these.They're unbelievably comfortable and I cannot say enough about how pleased I am. They're very stiff at first but by day 2 they become pliable and soft. They do not bounce *at all* like the video when you first try them on. You have to wear them a bit to soften them but now they look like the video.After almost a week I'm looking to buy a 2nd pair for using as daily beaters. I've honestly never felt a more comfortable shoe before this and am super happy with my decision. I'm hoping to ...

Great Shoe
This is an awesome shoe. Looks great and feels very comfortable. It does run narrow so if you have a wide foot, I would not recommend. In my opinion, this is a great shoe for mid distance. Will serve you well for 7K and under. If you are a half or full marathon runner than this may not be a shoe for you. I can cruise through a 5K with these with no problem. They are breathable, light, and flexible to your feet.... Show more

I really wanted to like these.
Poor quality. The tongue ripped the first time I put them on. The lack of a middle sole made it extremely uncomfortable to jog, causing me pain as my feet felt the full pressure of the platform sole ridges.Beautiful design though. I really wanted to keep these but the low quality of the materials and the lack of a middle sole make these look and feel like a version 1.0, complete with unfinished comfort features. Needless to say, I returned them the following day, utterly disappointed.... Show more

Once you break them in they are Great
I got this just for running about 3 weeks ago. The first run felt good but they was not all that comfortable until I was about a mile in. This shoes are not great right out of the box you have to break them in. Now that I have 26 miles on them they feel great. I am a mid sole runner so they give a good bounce and forward momentum. If you are a heel strike runner I would not recommend them due to they way the air pockets are one the heel. The outside of the heel is reinforced more then the inside of the heel. That may lead to problems with your ankle. Overall for me they are a great running shoe once the a broken in.... Show more

Shoes need break-in
The first time I wore it, my feet felt awkward. Felt no support where my foot wants it. Almost returned it after 5 days of trial.After the first week break-in, the airbox outsole start contouring to my feet. Now, I am very satisfied with the shoes's light weight, breathable, flexibility and cushioning air box.The air outsole is not a continuous piece like normal shoes. The outsole welded with several detached airboxes. At first, your foot palm may rest on the gap between airboxes and feel no support. After the shoes break-in, the foot palm's weight will distribute evenly onto the outsole.... Show more

The Hype is Very Real
If you love the flyknit racers and how those feel, you will be no stranger to the vapormax. The upper is very similar to a racer, just more durable. The air max unit takes awhile to get used too. I would say it has taken me a week to break these shoes in. Once I did, it was very comfortable. I do have a narrow foot, so I would not recommend the shoe to someone that traditionally runs wide. I haven't ran in these nor do I plan to. As a daily walking shoe and as a shoe to make the sneaker heads look twice is good enough for me. Would look forward to a Nike Shield edition, that would be a nice touch. The Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit is definitely a must buy if you are looking for new switch up to your shoe library, maybe wait for more colors.... Show more

They Look Great But Are Very Uncomfortable
As some of the viewers have stated, they look great and are very appealing. However, they are probably the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever worn. No matter if the size is regular or larger (as I bought a second pair thinking a size up would help) than my normal size, they seem to squeeze and pinch my feet. I haven't even got over one hour of wearing them without having to switch shoes. I just don't understand, I've had many Nike shoes in my life, including five different styles right now, and these are by far the worst when it comes to comfort, whether it's walking, running, or just standing still. There are glimpses when I could see how they could be comfortable, and even great, when I do feel the bottoms giving way for a "walk on air" feel. Please fix these in ...

They're here
As a Air Max fan I had to have a pair of these bad boys. I did get the "Explorer" style upon the drop. What a month or two (summer 2017) of some of the best styles dropped by Nike. Back to this air, it is different from all of the other Air Max. If you don't own a pair, stop sleeping on these. Although these don't last long on shelves or online, good luck. Now about the size and fit, IMO, slightly narrow and true to size. However if you wear thicker socks you need to go a half size up. The material is very stretchy so break em in. Give it a try, you can always return it in 30 days if its not a good match for your feet. These are the lightest airs I own including all my other flyknit kicks. Great invention on these. Thanks Nike team of scientists!... Show more

Uneven Wear
The shoes are amazingly light, super cushioned, and fun to run in. The downside has everything to do with durability and build quality. I have worn Nike Air Max for years and the Free Run line for quite some time as well. The sole pads on my right shoe feel softer and more malleable than the left shoe. After two months of running the right shoe shows excessive wear while the left shoe is still looking brand new. With these results you would probably read this and say it is the way I run, not the shoe that is to blame. These are the only shoes I have owned and run in that show these uneven results.I sent the shoes in to Nike to be inspected and was told that the build quality is fine and free of defects.I will run in them until they wear down completely to get my ...

Vapormaaaaaax
The Vapormax has a sleek look and a smooth fit that reminds me of having cleats on. The fitment is smooth and true to size with give in all the right places. I see some reviews saying the shoe needs to be broken in but for me that was not the case. My feet felt right at home in these shoes! The material is very breathable and comfortable while still providing ample support. The absence of a midsole gives a great feel for the motion of moving around in them, definitely a plus! I have a pair in triple noir and will definitely look to get the cookies and cream colorway that is coming out soon. Great shoe!!... Show more
