Consensus is yes worth it. But they're flooding the market anyway. Just wait for a cheaper price.

Nike cancelled my OG pair in size 12...
And I cancelled from the European shop I originally purchased from.
Happy airmax month. It's been a rollercoaster.

Just got a 10% off for them cancelling my OG pair. Really hoping they drop the UNC blue one's soon.

I haven't worn them for all-day walking, but I usually go on walks during my lunch breaks that usually runs 2 miles (sometimes 3, and sometimes 1.5), and they've felt great for walking and standing around as well. For the past two days, it's taken already 24 hours worth of wear, and I've had no complaints.
If anything, go for a Pure Platinum color on Nike.com if your size is available, and give it a shot for at least a day or so for up to 30 days. If it doesn't work out, just simply send it back for a refund within 30 days, and you're all good. No risks!

I feel you both, but I just don't feel like plats are different enough for me to keep plats and og's. Shall see though! Thanks for the replies!
Completely agree dude!

Spent all day wearing my Vapormax and a few major thoughts came up:
- if you don't have a good stride or pronate when you step, you'll start to develop foot fatigue around the edges of your feet where the airbags are. I don't think there's much you can do about this... I have a bad habit of resting slightly on the sides of my feet so started noticing this
- the upper is SO good. best fitting Nike upper I've ever worn. I'd buy 20 pairs of these just because of the upper and sole swap if I really wanted.
- It was love at first sight for me on these but they're just getting better with passing days. Definitely see vapormaxes blowing up in the casual wear column. My wardrobe has been leaning more towards the technical/athleisure side (Arcteryx Veilance, Patagonia, RC) so these really are a great fit aesthetically!!

Confirmed release date is 4/3. Dropping right when UNC wins the title.

Welp, just saw the upcoming releases, so I take it back lol.
I like the plats, just can't justify paying a full retail tbh, considering the multitude of options. $200 is pretty steep.
I'll keep the OG though.

Tracking updated. Getting them tomorrow.
Currently experiencing this myself bro, the worst... my status is stuck on "shipped"

I hella got you, man! If a pair is going to hit outlets it's going to be platinums... so I'm thinking return plats as I feel I can get them back cheaper down the road. And I am for sure not done. Asphalts and Burgundy's are musts for me. Triple blacks are too, but I'm not paying what people want for them, though.

I have to agree with this point you made and piggyback off of it!
Since the shoe has a minimalistic design of only a Flyknit upper and Air bags, anyone who has a neutral stride will experience all kinds of great comfort. However, if you have any differences in stride where you land and you roll towards the outer part of your feet as it transitions to your toes where you toe off, that can turn a good night sleep into a bad one (metaphorically speaking). Also the same for pronation or supination. It shouldn't hinder anyone here at all if worn casually, but it's something to be aware of in case of anything. It's a performance shoe that is VERY similar to the Zoom All Out Flyknit if anyone here owns those, except the Zoom All Out Flyknit has practically 0%-1% stability support while this shoe has a slightly bit more.

I will say that the more I walked the less I noticed the discomfort on the sides of my feet. Not sure if my stride corrected itself due to the pain or if the shoe is breaking in somehow. God bless that Nike return policy. The testing continues.

Damn, that's tough! I'm thinking there may be at least one more person... probably just not on here. Sorry to hear, but at least you got a 10% off code!

I just hit the street with these for a quick run. WARNING: DO NOT SPRINT. These are for neutral heel-toe running only. They actually feel really good jogging. However, like ultra boosts, the knit is too stretchy in the toe and your foot will slide. Problem is with these your big toe will slide off of the air bubble and it will become very unstable.

Also don't recommend these for quick cuts or direction changes ... The air bags will roll over and consequently lead to your ankle rolling over

We will have to wait for the VaporTrainer.

Yep, definitely a shoe best for neutral-stride runners. I will be giving this a try tomorrow morning! Depending on how much time crunch I'll have, I'll give it some distance on flat surface, dirt, and embedded river rock concrete... or should I just do flat clean concrete surfaces? Ah we'll see, haha. As long as I get some sort of distance in, and I can also provide a quick first impressions post for everyone.
