i will give my soul for those VM's in Blue. Especially since I was trying to find a pair of the blue air max plus ultras with no luck. The sole on my 2014 plus's is starting to go

I think my wallet is going to thank the 2.0s when they release.

No need to give your soul... just spend ~$200 after tax.

Never been a fan of 2.0, but this one is pretty solid. The band-aid doesn't stick out to me that much on this CW.

Got the utilities - things are tough. Fit true to vapormax size, extra Cushlon layer is nice - more comfortable sans breaking in (so far). The bag is also dope, the way the strap is mounted, it mimics the vapormax logo on the back of the shoe - toggle and laces on the bag are identical to the ones on the shoe as well. Very cool touch. 3M everything.

How are they for winter wear? Its a good weekend to find out in the NYC area. Wondering if they did anything to the flyknit to make it better at keeping feet warm in colder temps.

it was funny, the sales reps were sending pictures to all their friends, I think they will sell out in store, not online. When you see em in person, you will need to have them. Just that kind of shoe.

They look good there. I just noticed the rear is a blend of the 2.0 with the small swoosh and bandaid dots....

Was searching for some deals at Finishline and noticed a new cash back offer they have for Vapormax. RetailMeNot has $10 Cash Back on Nike Vapormax Flyknits + Extra $20 Back. Stackable with Winner's Circle Rewards I believe but don't quote me on that. Not sure why it wouldn't be though. Could bring the price down to $140-$150 after all of the rebates/rewards.

Thanks for the photos. How do you think they will do in winter weather/wet conditions?

The knit isn’t much different. Different pattern but doesn’t seem to be treated.

About the same as your run of the mill vmax. The plus up is really the cushioning and form factor.

Great pictures! I was sold once you said it has a Cushlon midsole.

For anyone who does not know what Cushlon is, it is [at least in my opinion] such an underrated midsole foam used on Nike shoes. Almost every single Nike has Phylon nowadays except for the Pegasus line and now the Vapormax Utility and Kyrie 4. Coming from someone who's ran in the Pegasus shoes before, it is so much better.

seeing them in person always gets me

by cushion, do you mean the upper has extra cushioning and it's not all flyknit? like the heel part?

the shoebag is a nice tough though, I'm a sucker for little doodahs like that

Agreed.

Phylon is the lightest foam in weight and bottoms out the quickest. Think Flyknit Racer type cushioning.
Cushlon is that middle ground where it is slightly heavier than phylon but lasts longer and feels sturdier under foot.
Lunarlon is the densest foam nike has. Takes the longest to bottom out but is less 'soft' than some of these other foams.

All depends on what you are looking for with your feet and how they feel to you personally.

I'm talking about the CUSHLON layer - if you notice the airbags aren't glued directly to the FK like the normal vapormax, there's an additional layer in there. Makes a difference.

 

[rfx45]

aww damn, I didn't even notice that, there's actually an additional layer in the footbed

you may have just completely sold me on the shoes

you gon' need a commission from Nike on that one

I'm the CUSHLON DON, taking vapor to the max. Don't you forget it.

 

[bigevan23]

So...wore em at the gym and snapped a few more pics. They are significantly more comfortable and stable than your normal vapormax setup. It almost makes me mad that the normal pairs dont have cushlon. These are an entirely different animal.

Shoot, totally forgot to post the most important part. It’s at retailmenot
