VaporMax: At the origin of the design

• Designed in Europe
• The Air VaporMax ushers in a new era of Nike innovation. The designers started by restructuring the Air unit to connect it directly to the upper. “It was the biggest challenge,” says Tom Minami, senior shoe designer, “but it was worth it. “Without a midsole or sockliner, you rediscover the sensations of Air cushioning. » In previous Air Max models, the goal was to place as many Air units as possible in the sole, but the VaporMax focuses on a more efficient use of the technology. “When you put your foot down, each nub digs into the Air unit, increasing the pressure,” explains Zachary Elder. “When you lift your foot, pressure is released, creating even more dynamic cushioning.” After seven years of working on this shoe, Zachary Elder and Tom Minami are eager to see what the future holds. “I’m super proud of the product,” admits Zachary Elder. “This new approach represents a real turning point for Air technology, and also for Nike. »
