Nike Air VaporMax

[redrum3281]

How are vapormaxes for running?
Need some new running shoes and im considering buying a pair

I walk in them and for that they're great, they're ok for running, but nothing awesome, I've tried a lot of running shoes and the bubble does not feels as soft and cushioned as old flyknit air max 360s which is a bit disappointing. My next shoe that I'm gonna get for trying to rehabilitate back into running will be either the vaporfly% or fly zoom(?vaporfly ko?) I think that's what they're called. So yeah for walking they're great, I never have shin splints or foot pain walking my 2.5mi in 30mins for the army, but hard impact running, nah I dont think these are what you want espc for the price

If I may, I’d suggest starting with something like the Pegasus 36, Pegasus Turbo, or Epic React/Infinity React before going straight to the Vaporfly Next % or even the Zoom Fly. Extended periods of running on the carbon fiber plate can cause plantar fasciitis. Speaking from experience, that’s a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. All of the others mentioned don’t have have the plate.

Good to know, though I thought the plate was what made you run faster longer in the first place?

Nobody should ever use any type of air max for running these days, simple.

Has anyone painted/dyed over the volt on the tongue of their light bone Acronym's? Sometimes I think about doing it, but will probably regret it if I did.

Yes, however running on the plates months at a time or for all of your runs can be detrimental. I found out the hard way. I was able to run my fastest ever in my Vaporfly 4%FK, personal bests in the mile, 5K and 10K BUT man did I pay for it as I continued to run in them. If you get the Vaporfly Next%, I definitely wouldn’t make it your every day runner, maybe just days when you’re doing speed work. YMMV

For that price, might as well at least cop one pair while waiting on the new iteration.

Wonder if the asking is going to be the same, a flat $200 or even more...

I think they are $250 with the flyease.

 

[a blinkin]

that damn flyease

I guess the new sustainability initiative is going to cost the consumer more. Even some of the early release hoodies and stuff are pricey. Oxymoronic.

 

[Lunar_Loner]

VM is not gon be no $250 that’s absurd...$10-$20 increase the most if any...

The Vapormax is dead as we know it. That is just terrible.

 

[gwizzle]

[ALNotSure]

Maybe should call it something else.
Resale gonna get good for previous models!!!

 

[t11time]

[ferrari6888]

damn!

I would wear a 2 before I wear a lock and a tic tac box Vapormax.

Yea but these will be super easy to just add laces.

I don’t want them with a big pull string that says LOCK.
