Nike Air VaporMax

dragicon dragicon thanks for info. Don't think u can use Nike id through sneaker app. Hopefully they are on Nike.com so I can use a code. If not not copping for full retail
 
The plats and red are scheduled for 10AM eastern tomorrow. The IDs don't state specifically, but there is now an "ad" for it on SNKRS. So I'm assuming it's going to be through SNKRS as well, so that you won't be able to use a discount code.

When something is available in SNKRS app for a launch is it exclusive to the app or will you be able to buy on Nike.com the old fashioned way

It depends how popular it is. If they don't sell out, they usually go on Nike.com within the next few days. Then, you'd be able to use coupon codes and swoosh as well.

Yeah, I've never seen it either. But with such limited options available, I wouldn't put it past Nike to make sure that discounts can't be used :lol
 
I think that the current air max models don't offer enough cushion to compete with Boost, so Nike naturally had to increase the size of the air bubbles.

I am very intrigued by this shoe, but and more intrigued to see how they hold up over time with wear and tear.
I thought Nike's Lunarlon is their real technology against Adidas Boost and Asics Flytefoam.

I don't think Air Max is their real running shoe anyway (AIR doesn't properly disperse the energy sideways like Asics Gel does), more like a gimmick halo shoe to their line-up so its natural progression is to remove all foam (didn't they tried this already with Air Max 360?).

Does anyone know if the Nikelab Triple Black's are more expensive than the general releases?

They're a lab release so, yes, they'll be more than $190. Would guess $220.
EDIT: according to sneakernews they're going to also be $190, which seems weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

for those still wondering about its sizing, shoe itself is pretty narrow, I went TTS on my red platinum's and couldn't be happier, definitely not recommending that half size down some mentioned earlier.
 
Rarely stuff will release at the same time on both but most often if it's coming soon on SNKRS then it ain't gonna be on NDC at launch
 
Hyped that I was able to use my discount at Sneak Easy for the Vapormax ID. Make sure your Nike discount is already loaded on before you attend the event.
 
nice, btw what other shoes were available beside vapormax, am1 ids?
 
^ nobody here really knows yet. SNKRS doesn't have Nike ID, but there is a thing on the feed in SNKRS for the shoes.
 
When does nikelab soho is opening tomorrow? I know Nike Soho is opening at 9am.

I can confirm that they are $190 too.

i don't see a notification for Nike id vapormax via SNKRS.., they will be available for 24 hours.

Interesting enough, in the screen cap I posted from Instagram by Kicks Deals the soles are white/clear but in SNKRS they are volt. If it's volt they can keep them.

They've been testing this shoe with real runners for 5-6 years, its a running shoe. Whether or not it suits you, me, or the next person is a different story. Im guessing in 5-6 years of iterations, research, technology, and manufacturing has given them a "new" opportunity to improve on something they did previously.

Air Max have usually been a bit too stiff for my liking. I'd be more opt to a Free if given the choice. They said theyve tried to incorporate things from the Free and other running shoes and hours of feedback from runners. So, we'll see.
Maybe I buy a pair on discount sales, maybe I dont at all. HOWEVER, what Im not gonna do....Im not gonna come up in the VaporMax thread though just to discount the VaporMax just based on my personal opinions that other shoes are be better. That would be kinda ...weird. [emoji]128530[/emoji]

Lunarion technology is great except for the wear down. If they could keep it from doing that, it would have took off more IMO.

But yes, not to switch topics but Asics Gel > Boost in terms of all day comfort/response.

those are ID posts. You chose the color of the air bag on ID. So far we think its just clear and volt that will be available.
 
I used to run in Lunar exclusively. However, since I've made the switch to runners with Zoom (forefoot) last year, I've had significant gains.

With that said, I feel Zoom is Nike's best running tech. I'll admit when I started running, I ran in retro AMs. I didn't know any better. As I got more into the sport, I got more into running tech. Ultimately, AMs CAN be used for running. However, if you have an emphasis on time, pace, speed, I'd definitely look elsewhere. ALL AMs (even the latest), IMO, are for the casual runner/jogger.

Boost is comfortable but UBs kill me if I'm walking all day. I don't know if it's more of the compression fit or the sole being too soft but it's air > boost for all day comfort for me. For running, I don't run often and my Air Max 2010s haven't let me down yet so I haven't had a reason to try anything in a while. I did go for a run on vacation in my Lunarglide 6s and it was a smoothe ride.
