Nike is keeping their streak of excellent drops alive with an all new and all black VaporMax. The popular shoe is getting a slick monochromatic treatment this week, and will be available in select retailers as well as the brand’s official online store. It’s a piece that closely resembles the coveted Comme des Garçons collaboration, but will no doubt be more affordable and easier to attain. Nike is outfitting the all-black VaporMax with its patented Dynamic Flywire lacing and pumped heel technology. The shoe also boasts a crisp and reflective swoosh which stands out a little more than its CdG doppelgänger.
Nike Air’s VaporMax hits stores later this weekend and will arrive with a solid bunch of unique iterations. If you happen to be in Toronto, be sure to keep your eyes open for the touring Air Max bus, which is traveling the city until the 26th of the month. In a video interview promoting the release, Nike designer Marc Newson calls the VaporMax a smart step forward for the company. “The overwhelming emotion when you see this thing for the first time is tactile. You want to touch it and squeeze it and figure out how it works. It is a mesmerizing thing really,” he said of the athletic sneaker.
