How the Vapormax Plus came to be
Back in 1998, Nike designer Sean McDowell came up with a performance running shoe in addition to the Air Max line. Dubbed the Nike Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat, its design was inspired by the Florida beaches, sunset, and palm trees. Compared to its predecessors in the Air Max line, it has bolder Dri-FITs with its brightly colored spray-faded upper enclosed by an external TPU skeleton, plastic toe cap, flat tube lacing, wedged shape, and the classic hexagonal “Tn” branding.
Backing up the Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat's captivating exterior is the Tuned Air technology in the sole. Nike Air is combined with pods "tuned" individually per section for the high-performance impact protection that the runners need. Because of this, the shoe also gained the name "Nike Air Max TN" or simply "Tn."
The Nike Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat turned out to be an instant hit and eventually a cultural phenomenon. Although most harmonious to run in, its immense influence in the fashion scene cannot be denied. For almost two decades since its launch, the silhouette has not shown any signs of slowing down sales. Hundreds of colorways have been released for the model, and even variations in construction and materials surfaced, like slip-on, leather editions, and Ultra versions.
To commemorate Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat’s 20th anniversary, Nike released the Nike Air VaporMax Plus on January 25, 2018. This new and revolutionary silhouette combines the upper of the classic Max Plus with the new sole of one of Swoosh's most advanced Air Max shoes, the 2017 model Nike Air VaporMax.
Debuted in several colorways and with a $190 price tag, the Nike Air VaporMax Plus features a light neoprene upper with the Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat's signature TPU overlays. It also has a reflective 3M detailing along the center from the toe up to the tongue, a heel pull tab, and a “Vm Air” branding on the heel as a nod to the Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat’s signature hexagonal “Tn” branding. This familiar facade sits atop a full-length Nike Air VaporMax sole for lightweight cushioning and aggressive traction.
Notable Nike Air VaporMax releases
The Nike Air VaporMax may be a newcomer in the sneaker industry, but it has been receiving countless colorways already since its launch in 2018. Here is a list of some of the most hyped and highly anticipated drops of the stylish low-top Swoosh shoe.
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Triple Black
The Air VaporMax Plus in Triple Black colorway is one for the books. It has its highly recognizable Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat upper and VaporMax outsole combo, all dressed in a crisp monochromatic black color scheme. The neoprene upper provides a comfortable and lockdown fit, while the TPU overlays (a design element borrowed from the Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat) secure the foot and give added support. A pop of the VM Air logo is on the heel in yellow/white. This black Nike Air VaporMax Plus was released exclusively in men’s Pack on January 25, 2018.
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Sunset
Also dropped on January 25, 2018, alongside the street-ready Triple Black colorway is the Nike Air VaporMax Plus Sunset. Nike followers are familiar with its color scheme as it was a nod to the OG Sunset colorway of the Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat back in the ‘90s. The neoprene upper exhibits a yellow-to-orange gradient (hence the name sunset) with black overlays giving the perfect contrast to the brightly-hued base. The Week 3 Of The Nike EYBL Showcases More Sneaker Heat-inspired upper sits atop an equally recognizable translucent black VaporMax sole unit.
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Triple White
The modernized hybrid Nike sneaker also comes in an all-white colorway through the Nike Air VaporMax Plus Triple White (White/ Pure Platinum) release. It made its debut on February 28, 2018. Street-ready and versatile, the low-top Swoosh flaunts a clean-looking facade, all thanks to its monochromatic white neoprene upper, including the laces and heel tab, white TPU overlays, and translucent white VaporMax sole unit.
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Aluminum
Released on February 9, 2019, is the Nike Air VaporMax Plus in Aluminum (Black/Aluminum) colorway. The running-inspired sneaker displays an ombre-like, light grey to blue gradient neoprene upper finished off with solid black TPU overlays, laces, tongue branding, and a heel pull tab. The one-of-a-kind comfortable upper sits atop a blacked-out VaporMax sole unit.
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Midnight Navy Metallic Gold
The Nike Air VaporMax Plus in Midnight Navy Metallic Gold colorway is available in men's Pack for an initial retail price of $190. One of the first Air VaporMax Plus colorways dropped in 2019 (it was released officially on January 5, 2019). Unlike other favorite colorways of this hybrid kick, this one comes with a unique and more adventurous color scheme rather than a versatile, play-it-safe monochromatic hue.
The neoprene upper not only gives a sock-like snug fit, as its Dri-FIT is indeed street style-approved in a premium deep blue hue with a matching tonal TPU quarter panel reinforcements. Metallic gold accents are seen on the miniature Swoosh below the collar and midsole, while a University Red VaporMax sole unit and heel tab complete the shoe's stylish flair.
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Rainbow
Though the Air VaporMax Plus started to appear in monochromatic colorway releases, it eventually surfaced in a slew of brightly-hued and multi-colored gradient options later on. One of these (and an eye-catchy pair, to say the least) is the Nike Air VaporMax Plus Rainbow, a summer-ready rendition of this crowd’s favorite hybrid Swoosh. It was released on April 26, 2018, with White/ Neptune Green - Dynamic Yellow - Blue Nebula - Habanero Red as its official colorway.
The full-blown rainbow-themed VaporMax Plus shoe features a multi-colored gradient neoprene upper with hints of teal and blue on the heel that transitions to yellow on the midfoot, then vibrant habanero red toward the toe area. Sealing this off is a white midsole with a bit of yellow accent on the midfoot part and a translucent white or clear VaporMax sole unit. The TPU reinforcements on the upper match the sole, while the laces and heel tab comes in white.
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Grape
Another exciting release of 2018 is the Nike Air VaporMax Plus sneakers in the "Grape" colorway. It debuted on April 6 with a gradient theme that combines Fierce Purple, Aurora Green, White, and Black colors on the neoprene upper. Adding support and stability is a white exoskeleton, aka TPU quarter panel reinforcements, that works as eyestays. The laces are also in white, matching the clean-looking midsole. The heel area, including the loop tab, appears in a contrasting grey hue, while the clear VaporMax sole unit completes the look.
