I used to buy Nikes all the time with my parents when I was in high school. I had not bought a pair of Nikes for a long time and decided to buy these.I wore this pair on some Fridays at the office when we were allowed to wear sneakers. I have worn this pair nearly 15 times over the span of 3 months and one day I noticed that the glue starting separating on the bottom of one shoe and exposing the bubble inside. Shortly afterwards, I tried the pair again in my apartment to see if the pair was still wearable.I heard a loud pop and another bubble inside had completely popped.I was hoping to get around 6 months out of these shoes at least, and bought them for comfort for long walks during the summer.It's better to buy another pair and definitely not one with this ...

These shoes are very cheaply designed for their price.I am very disappointed with Nike's recent drop in quality.

I bought a pair of the original Vapormax and saved them to wear on spring break. However, the right shoe feels like it has a rock in it and completely uncomfortable and painful. It is in the middle outside portion and I am guessing the sole was installed correctly and one of the air pockets is rising into the shoe. The left one is comfortable but I am unable to wear them because even sitting it is painful to wear the right shoe. Extremely disappointed as I was so excited to wear them.

I recived these shoes yesterday and went for my first run in them today. When I first put them on they felt a little stiff and hard on the bottom but once I got to the track and starting running they felt great. The Nike expert who recommend them to me told me to give it a couple of runs before you decide if you like them or not. I liked them on the first run and really hope they hold up on future runs. These are one of the few Nike shoes that don't seem to run small and are actually the size you order. I normally wear an 11.5 in normal shoes but have always worn a 12 in Nike shoes but I usually wear very thin socks and will just have to break out my more cushioned socks to see if that works. Love the look of these shoes and hope they become my new favorite running ... MoreI recived these shoes yesterday and went for my first run in them today.

I currently, have extreme neuropathy and arthritis in my feet...years of running, sports and dancing with very thin feet. I wear a womens 13 AAA shoe which of course doesn't leave me any shoes to purchase in the marketplace aside from Nike mens shoes. I can find Nike mens shoes that will fit my narrow foot. I have worn Nikes since the 70's. I was in Cross Country. These are by far the best I have worn. It may take some a very short time for some to get accustomed to the air pockets. I also bought a pair for my 18 year old grandson who is in cross country and he loves them.
I had been wearing the Nike Air shoe since they came out, and I loved the fly knit, especially. Those shoes were so comfortable for daily wear, running, and walking. I often forgot I was wearing shoes. The cushioning was amazing, the width was perfect, and the toe box was roomy. These shoes just wouldn't wear out. So, when the VaporMax shoe came out, I assumed they would have the same, great fit. I was so wrong, and utterly disappointed in every way. I am not able to wear them for any length of time. In fact, I wore them today, and my ankles hurt so badly, I am letting them go. Now to find a shoe I can run and walk in, I am having to check out dealers who have the old Nike Air Max in stock. I sure hope Nike finds a way to bring them back! They were worth their cost, ... MoreI had been wearing the Nike Air shoe since they came out, and I loved the fly knit, especially.

These shoes are a party for your feet! Absolutely without question the most comfortable and fun shoe I ever have worn! I got a 12. Fits literally like a glove. I am at 290 lbs and 6' 5". It is not for hiking or playing tennis! Wonderful gym shoe and for wearing at home or about town. Also, I have serious neuropathy in my lower legs. I have no feeling below my calves. These shoes fit so well that I can bounce around like a ballerina. Or almost!! Wonderful shoe!
I have never written a review for anything but I felt this was definitely worth being the first. First off, I love these shoes and that comes from someone who's been active most her life and has had many pairs of running shoes. They look super stylish and train awesome, especially when running. The only sad thing is the mesh is already tearing, maybe because of the intensity of my workouts though, and for the price paid I would expect them to be a lot more durable then they actually are. Overall, I would love to own more pairs in different colors and would definitely invest in multiple pairs if the next shoes were more durable.
Honestly I LOVE the Vapor-maxes. These are my first pair (got them from a Dick's Sporting Goods) and they are great. The great arch support (doesn't feel like a rock in the shoe) really helps out people like me with more pronounced arches. I've worn these things go-carting and the air-bubbles are still perfectly intact. The Fly-knit feels really breathable and flexible for a between 9 and 8.5 like me. I love it, keep it up Nike!
I ordered my VaporMax Flyknit 2's and was very excited to receive them. Like other reviews below, as soon as I put my left shoe on and pulled the tongue to lace it up, the tongue ripped. However, I overlooked this as it did not seem to effect the shoe or its comfort too much. They were very comfortable and I enjoyed my first run in them, until I noticed that the left rear bubble had completely collapsed and deflated and now offered no support. I inspected them, thinking that I may have stepped on something, but it was noted that entire side of the support blew out. I have always ran in Nike shoes and really like the look and feel of these, but I hope that the future ones are more durable and you don't lose an entire section of the shoe just from running in them.
The VaporMax flyknits are by far and away the best looking and most head turning shoes I’ve owned in my 30yr life. Stylistically, nothing comes close. As far as wearability and comfort, they are with the creme de la creme of shoes. So light and so snug fitting. The flyknit innovation changed the shoe game in my opinion — besides my pair of suede LTR VaporMax I don’t own a pair of shoes that aren’t Nike Flyknits. I own six pairs of VaporMax and just ordered the multi-colors yesterday!
