Nike Air technology has been an integral part of Nike since making its way into footwear in late 1978. For the first eight years it was hidden, rather than seen. Then, in 1987, it became visible with the Nike Air Max. The revolution had begun, and quickly spread across all types of Nike footwear while becoming a coveted lifestyle product across the globe. After over 30 years, Air Max continues its evolution.

Joining the impressive lineup is Nike’s newest VaporMax EVO model that takes on the design DNA of the Air Max 96 II while sitting atop the popular VaporMax sole unit.

This offering takes part of the “Evolution of Icons” collection that nods to past Air Maxes over the years. Dressed in an Anthracite, Tech Grey, White, and Midnight Navy color scheme. This Air VaporMax EVO comes constructed in a mix of mesh and leather with a new neoprene tongue featuring a rubberized branding. 3M reflective detailing with “EVO” badges on the heels completes the design.
