With the product line debuting new editions on a bi-annual basis, the Nike Vapormax Flyknit 2023 remains the spotlight model for the ever-popular lifestyle series. As we inch towards the hottest months of the year, it’s shedding darker shades and instead looking to the light in a “Light Grey” colorway.

The woven upper material gets snowed-in, centrally dressing in in platinum white. It’s tinted slightly as you work towards the eyestays and midsole, darkening and adding contrast to this design. The real contrast comes in notes of gold and “Dusty Cactus,” the latter poking through the gaps in the woven pattern and dotting meted branding sections. As a majority of Nike Vapormax Flyknit 2023 releases have, this version carries the “Next Nature” stamp on its insole, indicating sustainable materials. The accessible palette, recycled construction and excellent comfort make this pair a true triple threat if you’re looking for a new daily driver.

The Nike Vapormax Flyknit 2023 “Dusty Cactus” is expected to release for Summer ’24 with the typical $210 retail price.

Shifting to the Jordan Release Dates 2024 calendar, the Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” is the biggest release of this weekend, and probably of this year so far.
