Nike Air VaporMax

Is the cushioning as good or close to an Ulta boost or pure boost ?
 
Tried them on yesterday and was VERY disapointed with how uncomfortable they are. They definitely look cool and futuristic on foot but I expected much much more from the comfort aspect. The flyknit racer is 10X more comfortable than these and those are only a slightly above avg comfort shoe IMO. Nike will never come close to boost in comfort its unfortunate.
yesss i was soo lookin forward to this shoe and seein nike kill some adidas hype but its nothin more than a gimmick it killed my feet like it had rocks instead of air bubbles the knit is the same old design on every flyknit all 5 shoes released were just plat or black wit lil add ons its like a downgraded zoom agility i will be bringin mine back
 

In the length TTS for me. I would prefer a little more width though. I did buy a 12.5 to try but I think it will be too long. The 12.5 comes later this week.

Same Knit as every Flyknit? Wrong

The Vapormax Knit is very stretchy in the toebox unlike the FKR

There are also 50 other Knit iterations that are different
 
 
Anyone looking for US12 OG?

Found a spot.

Quote me I'll PM you.
Hey. New here I know, but I've been searching for these since yesterday morning. Struck out at 21 Mercer, and then thought they would be more readily available at SOHO. I went to SOHO and all they had were the Plats. I've been an Ultraboost wearer, but really love the fit of these after trying them at the Sneakeasy.

Check your PM.
 
More pissed at not having the chance on the MC iD. Got the Plats from Sheik yesterday no hassle about 1030 am. Never had a shot at the iD somehow?
 
Anywhere in NY have either the OG's or Plats in store?

It was like a wild goose chase yesterday and I struck out after attempting Triple Blacks.
 
Sold out in under 10 min
yea but where was the link. i was ready just literally couldnt find a link for them. and why have th eoptions if theyre limited on ID just release 500 pairs... since when has an ID run been limited by units. usually its like a time limit theyll have it for a month. but never "once they hit 500 pairs take it down."

There was no link you just had to search Vapormax ID on NDC

And they've done this limited ID a few times before. For example the Kobe 9 i believe it was

They even said for this Vapormax that it was limited availability
 
For those of you in the US, which stores carried the "OG" colorway?

Was the Pure Plats more of a GR?
I think the Pure Plats are  a GR. It does not appear to be very limited afaik. I went to a local mall yesterday 
weird, i tried ordering the pure platinum earlier at 0705am and it was sold out. i tried again right now and i was able to order through finish line and receive order confirmation from finish line and PayPal. i hope it went through.

Just realized you have Hattie on your avatar. We did a photo shoot years ago before she became huge in social media :D

They certainly are two different types of comfort, and I understand why people say you shouldn't compare the two, but the comparions are going to happen regardless as both shoes serve practically the same purposes. Freddy and Jason are two different types of horror characters, but they are constantly compared because they serve the same purpose...to scare you. With that out of the way, it all comes down to what type of comfort you prefer...ultra boost/pure boost are more squishy compared to the vapormax's more firm feel. I have almost every boost variation and I find myself enjoying the more firm comfort of the vapormax's....not to mention they feel way lighter to me as well. Hope this helps and I highly recommend going to try them on first.
