Put an extra bounce in your step. Designed with all-day wear in mind, these kicks pair a lightweight super-stretchy Flyknit upper (You'll feel like you're wearing only a sock!) with heel-to-toe VaporMax Air cushioning for a new level of comfort. Benefits Supportive Flyknit upper is made from stretchy yarns and creates a striking visual that's seamless, 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 on heel adds to the comfort. The speckles in the rubber outsole are made from Nike Grind, which is recycled waste (i.e., the scraps) from the footwear manufacturing process. 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.

I bought these for my 14 year old son to wear to school. He’s very active but only wears these to school and doesn’t wear the for sports or activities. I typically spend a good amount for shoes that will last. These were expensive and they didn’t last at all. The air cushion sole has several huge holes in them at this point. At one point when there was a downpour and when he got inside the soles had water in them. It’s so bad he squeaks when he walks lol. The rest of the show has been great. At the end of the day of a sole of a shoe can make it with basic wear and tear, the shoe is worthless to me. I’ve bought many Nike items without problem so I’m not against them. Just thought buyer should be aware when purchasing these.

Comfortable for sure. Runs true to size. Beware. You have to make sure your buying either woman’s sneakers or men’s sneakers. Men’s sneakers are larger in stature even if you get the correct size. There’s just more to the men’s sneakers Only the men’s sneakers don’t always go down to my size 5 in men’s. Therefore these sneakers I bought fit but only with big thick socks

I have the older vapormax shoes. They are THE most wonderful shoe I’ve ever owned! BUT I have holes in the toe in each foot. My boyfriend insisted I get a new pair… I own the all black and they are a men’s shoe size.. the store didn’t have women’s in all black. Anyhow.. I ordered the new vapors.. mens.. in all black. For the sole reason that I could not find the old ones to replace them. I thought I’d give these a shot. Welllllll.. they are not like the older vapormax at all! Bulkier and not as springy.. I’m so sad. I will be returning these
The Vapormax 2021 is an okay sneaker but, in my honest opinion, not worth the premium price tag given the other options that Nike offers at similar price points. The Vapormax 2021 is definitely a step up from previous with the improved air unit providing better stability and the traditional laces, rather than the pully lace system seen on the Vapormax 2020, but the problem of stability still persists in a lesser fashion due to the almost cleat like feel under foot. I'll admit that I like a little bit of extra room, not too much though, in my sneakers just for some added comfort but the Vapormax seemed to provide too much of that when I went with my usual size of an 11 so I went down half a size to a 10.5.

Downsizing helped out but also highlighted the fact that the Vapormax 2021 is a very narrow sneaker and now the sneaker. If you have a narrow foot you should be good with going true to size or maybe even downsizing by a half if you like to have a tighter fit, but if you have a wide foot I highly recommend going a half size up to get little bit of extra wiggle room in there. All in all I think that the Vapormax 2021 is a vast improvement over previous models, with the traditional laces and the improved Air Unit, but I think that the persistent lack of stability with these sneakers even after being improved up with the minimal comfort that they do provide makes it so that I can't recommend these sneakers at the premium price point that Nike has them priced at when Nike already offers other options at similar or cheaper price points that are a much better sneaker than the Vapormax 2021 is. Only buy the Vapormax 2021 if you're already a fan of a previous model and want a new one, you're curious to see for yourself what this silhouette has to offer, or if you want to have something to use as a fashion statement.
Haven't had a pair of vapormax before but loved the airmax360. These are more rigid almost like a soccer cleat (or football boot for ya Ted Lasso wankers). Because of the footbed's air pattern, the sole is lumpy and so I don't recommend on a rocky ground. Turf and grass would be okay but you're picking dirt out. Overall, they LOOK fast and turn any lazy pair of sweatpants into "athletic joggers" when running to the grocery store.
I love these Air Max's because they are beyond comfortable and very stylish. I also got them when they went down on price which made it seem like a steal! It feels like I got an extra spring in my step when I walk but as if I'm walking on air. I love how the mesh material stretches to your foot size as my feet are a little wide but no discomfort whatsoever while wearing these. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
These shoes make you feel like your walking on a cloud. The comfort of these shoes are superb- even more comfortable than my sketchers which are my go to for comfort PLUS they are very STYLISH. The design of the shoe is well thought over- for the most part. The bottom of the shoe is made to withstand impact and can withstand sharp objects in most areas. However, certain areas are vulnerable to puncture which can flatten the air out of these pricey bad boys. Not the biggest concern but one none-the-less. Overall though, the pros outweigh the cons. Would definitely buy again!
I personally believe that these are the best and most comfortable shoes from Nike. I have tried a number of brands and a number of styles and nothing fits better than a vapormax. The fit like a glove to your feet and provide you with that extra bounce you need to keep your day going. I play basketball and I used to wear slides to and from the game until I discovered vapormax. Now I wear vapormax to and from the game because of comfort and they also provide a stylist look. My only dislike about this shoe is that on the exterior of the shoe facing inside after a long amount of wear there is a small tear on both shoes. How this my be a one time thing. I still highly recommend these shoes and if your still not completely sold I have 13 pair of shoes in all that all fit ...

They are not all this style however all 12 are vapormax.- Jace
The upper of the shoe is soft, but the air isn't really, and you can feel the separate air parts under your foot. However, in the 2 weeks I've had them, it's getting better. I think you just need to wear them in.I got them in the gray/white color, and they have little colored specks from the recycled material which is cool.One last thing is the laces come untied a lot imo, you need to really make sure they're tightened when you tie them up.
