The Nike Air Max VaporMax was first introduced in March 2017, following years of research and development by the Nike design team. The shoe was designed to be an innovative running shoe that provides the ultimate in comfort and performance.

Since the Nike Air Max VaporMax's release, it has become a popular choice among both serious runners and casual wearers. The VaporMax has also been the subject of several high-profile collaborations over the years. These collaborations have resulted in some limited-edition versions of the VaporMax like the Nike Air VaporMax CLOT Bright Crimson. With more than 120 trials and over seven years of development, VaporMax has taken incredible steps forward in design and functionality. VaporMax trainers deliver relentless all-day comfort with a super-light Max Air platform for ultimate springiness. You get intense responsiveness and bounce with nothing between your foot and the Air unit. Trainers with VaporMax 2 Air units deliver ultra-smooth transitions stride after stride, thanks to units that run the entire length of the shoe. With maximum air underfoot, you'll feel like you're moving on a cloud.
