Sneaker News 2017 was a banner year for Air Max; with the unveiling of Vapormax cushioning, Nike Sportswear created the opportunity to vastly expand its product line thanks to the newly engineered platform – and that they did. Vapormax has become a staple in the lifestyle footwear category, with widespread hits like the Vapormax Plus and other experimental ventures providing the bang for buck that went being the creation of the Vapormax unit. It’s been a far cry since that original Vapormax model in 2017 though, and with the surfacing of these nearly monochromatic Vapormax Flyknit 2021 colorways, we’re reminded of one of the debut year’s best colorway stories – the Day To Night Pack.
Nike offered up five colorways of the original Vapormax Flyknit in shades of blues and purples, representing the changing colors of the sky from sun up to sun down. And while just three of those colors appear here, we can imagine that more could potentially be on the way as an unofficial Day To Night reprisal in 2021. This is, of course, entirely unofficial, but hopefully other Vapormax fans can recognize the connection. And if Nike is indeed recalling that original set, then it’s a safe bet that two more monochromatic styles are on the way.
These are hitting Nike retailers soon for $200 a piece.
