I loved the old school Air Max Plus style and at first these VaporMaxes seemed like a semi imaginative but less appealing remix of those. A bit pricey but still happy with my purchase overall. For me I ordered a half size up and they fit perfect. They feel light and supportive. " - Champs Sports Reviewer
• Upper Material: Cushioned fabric and synthetic materials | Sizes: 4-11 | Style: Low top, lace-up

The Nike Air Vapormax Plus blends together Vapormax and the '98 Air Max Plus for a new and improved look that looks forward to the future while paying homage to the past. The floating Spider-Man looking cage is the stand out feature on this shoe, which also comes dressed in a red and black upper. If this color is to bold, then you can always go with a simpler color such as black, but why not take a walk on the wild side since you're already wearing a chunky sneaker?

We rock with it for sure (and you should too).
