4 YEARS AFTER WEARING NIKE AIR VAPORMAX: PROS & CONS

[@heskicks]

Yo! Right now Nike Vapormax is on SALE for #BlackFriday for as low as $152! Check out my top deals I posted on these here! www.collectivekicks.com

[@teletubycoconut1]

I wanted to love them as well but found that the original outsole pattern hurt my feet to walk in, but I love the 2020/2021’s. They re much more comfortable for me.

[@GordonAlwaySnoMoneY]

Me too. The OG pair I feel pain after 2 hrs.

[@lisetteramos1336]

Do you make a pair to wear all day? Cashier worker? 😆

[@theodorejones8806]

Love the OGs, hope Nike brings them back, the colorway of the white and red and just the silhouette is so clean

[@markopolo9936]

I had a pair of these a couple years ago, aside from the squeaking the main reason I got rid of these was because they were downright dangerous when driving and climbing up stairs. Feet got caught many times when they really shouldn’t have cos of the chunky air units, not great as comfort was very good. Quality control on my pair was also poor.

[@Chris1982416]

I love my vapormax. I got 6 pairs of vapormax plus, 1 pair of flynit 2020 and 2 pairs of flynit 2021. No issues but I have huge shoe collection so I rotate through a 150 plus shoes.

[@hunterbull7804]

I wore my original pure platinums to the ground. The air bubbles held up perfectly just yellowed super bad. My main quality issues were the aglets completely fell off and wore holes through the big toe area. I thought they were super comfortable and didn’t bottom out like boost does

[@wherewe]

I have vapormax95, love it but air max is just iconic, a relic of the past. Because of its symbolism some people still belive air max is best cusioning. 춘식이형 사랑해요

[@ismaellopez6878]

I love mine, I have 3 of them; and I’ll continue to buy more depending on color-ways.

[@Kasou01]

I got the 2019 LX one. Bought one just because I was curious. Not my daily, but still good as new after 1,5 year. Sqeaks only when it's new, its gone after a couple of wears.

[@fabsterun]

I remember buying these for my wife . I think she still uses them a lot. (Just checked yes she does)

[@dariuszdawidowski2640]

OG for the win. Love the aerodynamic and minimalistic style. New versions looks clumsy.

[@rongosserandsneakersteez3566]

I have wore my OG pair like yours since they dropped! Still intact and still comfortable! I really like the vapor max series and hope they continue

[@jaywalker3553]

I work on my feet all day and I love my all black Nike air vapor max I do 12-13 hours a day wearing them .🔥

[@pacemak1r7]

I got the OG platinum color way in 2017, they were good at the beginning. But the air units became softer and softer and less supportive, they wore my feet out! My feet were so tired after wearing em a whole day, so I ended up getting rid of them...

[@curtOphoto]

I've bought at least 7 pairs of the OG Flyknit ones, 5 of them I wore for running so have the receipts of how many miles they have on them. One pair had the bubble go flat, the other 4 were still pumped the last time I had them on. But as time goes on, feet change and they just weren't the right fit for my feet. But using that $180 price tag gave me the motivation to get my butt off the couch and running...and it worked. But I've had the Vapormax 95's (not the Flyknit inspired 95's, those were in the running count) in my rotation since they came out and have ZERO complaints about them. Come to think of it, I should sell the ones I'll probably not wear again. Any interest out there?

[@philtam4925]

What size are you, I’ve been interested in a pair but just couldn’t do the price point

[@avery816]

Definitely try the Vapormax Plus! Super comfortable upper and has lasted since it dropped. The squeaking is still an issue.

[@waynecohen7296]

I bought 3/ 2020 flyknit vapormax occasionally wore them and one pairs rear bubble went flat a month ago.

[@CooperRidesWild]

I had 1 pair of flyknit 3s but after nearly daily use for a year the left one popped.

[@Qwepzy]

I liked the gen 1 and 2 as well as the 2019 version but every other release lost me

[@jasonderby7635]

after running in the shoes it changed my complete outlook on the shoe. Hated it at first, but after running the stability was even better once they are really broken in.

[@Divinenubian]

I love my flyknit vapormax 2018 and my 360 vapormax max even tho they kinda hard to get on and a little heavy. My air max 97s are one of my favorites

[@kaziesyed]

I had 3 Vapormax shoes and each one of them popped. I was not aware Nike replaces it. Will try to reach out.

[@RowansReviews210]

I have a pair of the 360s and the 2020 , both I think look incredible, durable so far ! Definitely comfortable, I think the new vapormax layout is a lot more supportive too , which makes sense if u just look at the button u can tell the air unit is more placed correctly if that makes sense! Also it’s all one air unit instead of multiple so they don’t rub together and squeak Ive noticed

[@shoqmaxthefirst4640]

I tried a pair of Vapormax about a year ago, and my feet were in such pain after wearing them for a few minutes, especially along the arch and outer part of my feet.

[@MarcelL-DM]

I liked the silhouette of the first ones. Remind me of the 180 when they first released. Btw bring back the Airmax 180

[@jaysonsj5411]

One of my favourite shoes, but the rubber on the outsoles always came off

[@abc17tg]

My 2 pairs of VM 2019 split on the back, where the bubble rubber seam goes. I was very careful with them. I hope I will get them on good price one day again.

[@מורצדוק-ד3ר]

The top is excellent. The lower part - terrible Very bad for running and climbing stairs, really dangerous for driving and not particularly comfortable for walking

[@rrbautista8930]

Thanx for all the 411, He's! Much appreciated 🙏

[@kamrynmcdougall2669]

Hes Let’s get that Vapormax plus video please I’m curious to see what you think about them if they cop or not !?

[@leehasselbeck453]

I had one of the day to night pack and I hated it. Maybe the new outsole is better, but I'm not interested anymore

[@nym5qu17]

i wish they would release the og knit upper on the new midsole

[@Fnn-vq6hm]

I have been wearing my pair for over a year as my only pair of sneaker and we’re the only shoes I had at one point. They are super squeaky in school but other than that they are completely fine.

[@andyham6094]

My ogs are still in amazing condition. Love all the flyknit vapormax.

[@cjd4241]

Picked up the VM Premier FK’s at an outlet because they were so damn weird and I’d never seen a VM before after being out for decades. I wear them as slippers because you can slide into them undone in the middle of the night to get a snack or take a piss. Comfy as hell worn them every single day for three years still love them. Had a VM Plus flat (replaced by Nike), 2 pair FK3 I’ve worn through the tread on the back one one I wore it so much. Really wanna try the new design when I see a good color. Passed on the 2020s because of the lacing. But how’s Vapormax as slippers for versatile hey?

[@lightgtrchannel699]

question: are vapormax ok/safe to use for driving?

[@AnsonChiu]

my vapormax is garbage now, as it was 4 years ago!!! I've owned multiple pairs and have the same issue. They creak/squeak like crazy. (so bad infact my coworkers call me the "squeaky-ninja)

[@lemuelsumagang6100]

Can anyone give an impression on the vapormax evo nrg? Is there a significant difference between the rest of the ordinary vapormaxes.. can somebody say it is comfortable or worth wearing and buying.. I really love the overall design,style.but i nver tried to wear a vapormax.maybe it's just same as what the majority saying. Can anyone give some advice, maybe Hes Kicks can give some pointers to consider. I will really appreciate it.thanks...

[@CooperRidesWild]

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years!

[@heskicks]

Right?! Crazy huh

[@Jrtowns1]

I wish they would retro the originals. I loved the triple blacks but I wasn’t really into sneakers back then and wasn’t willing to pay the price. Now after 20 pairs of Jordan’s I’m numb to spending $200 on sneakers and would definitely cop a retro.

[@nicon9120]

I’m down for the 270 video, I’ve had a pair for 3 years and I love the design but they just deflated and I can’t find the leak

[@wangruochuan]

Man I love my vapormax but somehow the left shoe just scraps hard on the back of my heel. I gotta wear some comfy socks in order to not kill my foot. had a couple time where I wore low socks and getting some really bad abrasions。But I got mine on stockx for 110$, huge steal, so yea, im not complaining

[@MiracleWarriors]

Did you ever tried a Mizuno Wave Prophecy or Creation? I would love to see how these shoes would last over the years.

[@SocraticMind89]

THE OG STYLE IS THE BEST, the 3s were very similar but they never had good color ways for me and never released a true triple black color in them like the OGS TRIPLE BLACK 1.0

[@itz_dat_jay5510]

I have a pair of Vapormax evo there so comfy no issues

[@StoicDivinity]

2020/2021 VaporMaxs are some of my favorite sneakers. VMs and TNs all day 🤙🏽

[@baxtersamuel3657]

Hey man can you do a vid on air max plus /tn they are my favourite nikes of all time I have over 60 pairs

[@zohaibshahid4265]

Make a video on vapor max plus Thank you

[@TomsGreenMind]

I really want to like them, but I doesn't really go with my general style. I don't have much in my wardrobe that works for with them. I really liked the Evos that came out recently. Very cool and unique.

[@Pg-ch5nb]

They only look good with shorts or certain joggers. I have a pair of white 2021s that look great with shorts.

[@1forTrbl]

I'd like to see a AM720 "x years later" review, I really like the design of those!

[@Truth.Keeper]

I had the OGs with the purple iridescent swoosh.

[@Weeklyfingerboards]

I am a huge fan of the vapour max but the og 2017 is the best feeling

[@JonNorris-x3z]

What kind of shoes is yellow,black,white

[@spxctr4587]

any tips for reglue the sole of the vapormax?

[@ilovegaps6956]

what are the red and white ones called?

[@erock864]

my biggest sneaker regret of 2020 were those vapormax2020s... it was the "medal stand" colorway... the US athletes who medaled were going to wear those. what was i thinking? at least they came with a cool dust bag. i bought into the "lace" gimmick... idk, i should just rock 'em out. i mean, they're paid for & i don't think i can resell them

[@XycoManiac]

would love to see a review of the vapormax plus, or maybe a list of best to worst vapormax models. 200 plus for a pair of shoes is a lot and a list would be great to see which one gives the best value for the money

[@amsnutritionandfitness5288]

I don’t understand. Mine have a slice on the air bubble from wearing them 300 times to work in, and they still feel bouncy.

[@vishnuriddhi1588]

What color way is the red/grey one u have?

[@bubbablack9445]

If my bubble pops do I need the receipt to return them?

[@3Zclap]

easiest way to seal an air unit is with clear silicone like the one you get from the hardware store if you do it right and don't make a huge mess you wont even notice the repair

[@nobunishi5607]

Are these for running

[@levier._2292]

Can you do a AM270 after years video?

[@vishnuriddhi1588]

What color way is that?

[@DissidentPrick]

I really don’t like the look of vapormax I’ve never owned a pair and will never buy a pair. There’s so many better looking sneakers, one of my favourites this year is the Jordan delta 2 they look awesome and are comfortable you should do a review on them.

[@qurvzv5572]

Do 2021 vaporMax pop easily?

[@marcusgreenwood9804]

Man I have a few pair an honestly there all hype there not that comfortable at all an they do feel really unstable for sure I won't buy anymore for sure

[@yunuyg]

I like og fk vapors and 2020 with this "easy-lace" system, I'm not a fan of vapor max plus

[@davidboyd4026]

I love them. No problem. Okay the new ones feel a touch roll-lly-polly

[@joshsharp7199]

I got 270s and vapormaxs and those are my only “expensive” shoes

[@justgetit]

Nike air max plus are the best for me.

[@kirbyfan3000]

Lol I'm watching your video as soon as it turned 2023. I'm also sick af so I can't go out and party lol

[@MG-qd6im]

Butter?

[@01sevensix]

I miss the OG. My 2023s suck as have every iteration since the OG.

[@be3ma]

lol i think the video cur short, but i would be super interested in a 270 video follow up

[@dr.albertgeronimo675]

mine is more than 2 yrs but still okey

[@josevallejo4108]

I bought my 4 Month they popped

[@DivinefrequenciesXL]

I think a lot of people *want* to love this shoe… it’s got too many cons for such a beautiful shoe

[@AA-jx5fv]

Flynit 3 version is King

[@ruiyangao9255]

I absolutely hated these because the midsole is too hard, even though the upper was great

[@bondifiedshawty]

Im a nike fan and this is the worst shoe ive ever worn..i hate it, its uncomfortable. Very unstable i cant run, lift weights, jog do nothing in them that i planned to do...this is just a going out shoe

[@uknowme515uk]

YOU ONLY CAN RETURN THEM IF THEY ARE UNDER 2 YEARS OLD ... NOTHING OVER.

[@vintage_sole4065]

Nike Air Vapormax is the official mom shoe

[@lilchazza25]

Mine made my knees hurt

[@sway9725]

lets gooooo

[@5hf2024]

I regret buying vapormax especially the back side because it's not gripping my feet perfectly. They need to remodeling it by putting more cushion in the back.

[@Pg-ch5nb]

Which ones did u get?

[@rabarberellum1017]

A con you notice wearing them in the Netherlands: you can't comfortably ride a bike with them, no really.

[@danien37]

Mistake. started with Air Max zero, not one.

[@johng9361]

The most unergonomic shoes they've ever released.

[@Akshaya101]

Mine popped after 1 year
