All the negative comments are killing me..I'm a FedEx driver and have been wearing Flyknit since the flyknit 2.....(3s 2021 2023 etc)and find them MAD comfortable...it's all a matter of opinion

[@datazndood]

I’m a delivery driver too, are they slippery in wet conditions when delivering indoors like malls with smooth tile for example. Really annoying

[@alldod2100]

I had bought first version with almost 300 EU, the knit is comfortable and breathable, easy to put on, definitely cool looking shoe, kind of strange feeling when walking, never use them for running for giving me the feeling I will risk damaging an ankle, now catching dust on the shelve, I will take invincible run any time.

[@rngrover23]

I have the Air Max 95 with the VaporMax bottom and I love them…no complaints at all

[@craiggorman1685]

the 2017 silhouette is one of the greatest that nike have designed taking aside the comfort factor

[@thestarseeker8196]

One of the most comfortable pairs I own is my Vapormax 360 from 2020. I’m definitely a Vapormax fan but Nike does try basically everything with the shoe; sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. Personally I’m not a fan of the VM Plus because I can’t stand the material they use on that shoe. I think Vapormax is still “catching on” and has done so much later than Nike anticipated or preferred but generally I’m glad they are always doing something with it.

[@hammondluvsit]

I bought a pair from watching your vids and then got rid of them. The insole is so thin it feels like you are wearing football boots on concrete. You can feel the pattern of the air bubble through your feet. It's not comfortable

[@Siempre_azulcrema5]

Same here, I bought all the Nike vapor max, I am a big fan of those. But I felt like the tongue was too short. Thats the main reason I return them. Tongue too short.

[@markopolo9936]

Had a pair for about 6 months, had to sell them. They are down right dangerous when driving or walking up narrow stairs, could be different now though. They also squeak like crazy on certain surfaces

[@MaximumBets]

I own everything from Yeezy to New Balance and I wore my OG Vapormax flynit out. First pair of shoes that I’ve ran into the ground in decades. Just picked the Oreo colorway on sale for Black Friday. I look forward to breaking them in. Great shoe in my opinion. I also have the Scorpions and I can’t stand them. They hurt the outside of my feet for some reason. Thanks for posting this vid, it covered everything that I wanted to know.

[@shanehallowell5443]

I feel like most people wear them like you but when you tie them and wear them more like they are designed too it’s stable and very comfortable

[@spxctr4587]

I think its time for Nike to retro the Vapormax. My vapormax is really worn down and I need a new pair. But new pairs are going for crazy money right now. So PLEASE Nike rerelease the og vapormax.

[@2MuchSauce4u]

What joggers do you have on with the plus’s ?

[@HangingWithSasquatch]

Vapormax are definitely not for everyone. Your foot shape really does matter. You have to try these on before you buy. If they fit your foot correctly like mine do, these are the most comfortable shoes I own. My favorite for fit and comfort are my 2019's. The upper material is very supportive. Not as much of a fan of the knit pairs I have owned. The foot seems to float around a little loose in the shoe. Durability is an issue as well with the knit shoes. If you have ever worn football cleats, the Vapormax have a strangely similar feel to that, but they are very light and grip many surfaces well. I use mine mostly for golf. They are a fantastic alternative to using actual golf shoes.

[@Ninerfan4life]

I like the Vapormax plus! They tend to make a squeaky sound when you first get them but over time it seems to go away. The Vapormax 2021 not necessarily a fan of them and I want to try the 2023 but I am trying to wait for them to go sale hopefully in the winter.

[@Fordahord1]

Take out the insole and they will stop squeaking

[@sharptechnique7883]

I have the newest FK model. I wore them off and on love the style, but they already popped the left side the back portion. I don’t run in them just regular day usage pretty wild.

[@antdwg67]

Vapormax are dope..... They have definitely improved over the Og pure platinum model that I still have . The break-in factor (for me at least) is all but gone compared to what it used it be IMO. Just one of those situations where everything isn't for everybody.

[@geronimo1595]

I love the ogs once they broke in, the new ones just haven’t looked as good

[@damonbarker9029]

I only wear vapormax, its all I have bought since 2017, wtf are you doing to squash the bubles that much? The only time I have ever had them compress that much is when they are popped

[@MidNiteR32]

I bought the 2019 VM, and hated them because when you walk on hard side axes they squeak and you attract unwanted attention lol. Seems like from what I read, these are the same. Also for $210? Wtf Nike? They want premium prices for a shoe that uses recycle non premium materials.

[@bluebot306]

Love your vids, been subbed for a while. I'd love to see your thoughts on Puma's newer Nitro line of shoes. Thanks! Keep up the great reviews!

[@samonej.7335]

I love the fly knit 3s I think those are the best pair. I love them! I bought 3 pairs so comfortable. The 2023 is just ok it just doesn’t feel as good as the fly knit 3s in my opinion.

[@edsongomez7702]

I still wear mine every now and then. Love air max, always have but the vapor max are hard on your feet

[@thetechlibrarian]

You know I have to agree after having multiple pairs of both vapor. Max is absolutely better and it’s better over the long haul.

[@darluok23]

for me one of the best pairs of Nike I've ever owned, I have 8 of them since the OG.

[@Perkademiks]

I got a pair, and I love em. However, they are more for looks. Won’t catch me running on them. Won’t catch me doing any sports. Easy to roll an ankle with and God forbid the tile is wet. It’s RIP.

[@marcuspascall6867]

My experience with the VaporMax wasn't the best, I was gifted a pair of the flyknit 3's and honestly they didn't last very long... some of the rubber caps came off of the air unit in a short space of time, I also observed this with my niece who also had a pair of the 3's. I honestly got way more performance and longevity from my airmax 720's which I still have and wear from time to time. The 720's are a much stronger sneaker in my opinion, too bad they aren't making them anymore....

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

I tried the Vapormax in 2019 and within 10 seconds... "Nope!". But a few weeks ago there was a pair in a thrift store, the Plus Black Gold for $25 in not far off new condition - that's a no brainer. I tried to get through the "barrier"...and after a few hours, I have to admit I kind of like them. Whilst they won't be competing with Invincibles, Novablasts, UBs, Infinitys' etc,. that firmish but cushioned, insulated feel does have some appeal and was actually pretty good for all day wear. I find them not unlike Nike AF1s in cushion feel - and that I don't mind at all.

[@01stum]

Have a original pair which I like to use but mainly for going out in but do like them just different to any of my other Nike

[@Hipsters11]

Glad you mentioned Target.

[@TheSouthside602]

For 12 hour shifts vapors are perfect for comfort

[@jovansqualls4392]

😅😅I just returned a pair to nike yesterday. Because it was digging into my heel on right foot. So its not a one of. And my Achilles on left foot is killing me. But im not sure if thats do to the shoe or working out after a year? Never had a problem with the 21 version

[@notcritop]

i’m having the same thing rn the blisters i’m getting are insane

[@RAH_BLISS]

Pegasus Trail 4 look cool and very comfortable

[@TREADSTONE71_]

Thanks for the video. I wanted to buy three colorways, but I'd rather buy different ones now.

[@ted_shelton]

Nah the regular fly knit prestos are easily elite.

[@duncanmacphee200]

The OG Vapormax were great, but I was really disappointed with the revamped version with the smaller air unit - they just felt mediocre. Although not perfect, at least the OG Vapormax had a unique feel to them (kind of the whole point right?)

[@01sevensix]

Loved first gen….the tide pods ones. And have had several of each generation since…..these aren’t comfortable anymore.

[@djyoutubo]

Big air bubbles are a gimmick. I bought 4 Vapormaxes on Mercari cuz they look cool, but man, they compress under my 200+ lb body, and make weird squitchey squitchey sounds. But they look cool as all get-out! A solid Saucony or New Balance foam sole is far better.

[@Perkademiks]

They are tweaking with them prices.

[@craiggorman1685]

Nothing has been close to the original vapormax,theres something special looking with the OGs

[@dave-td1iz]

What kind of pants are those at 5:55?

[@pinoythomas77]

Hey Hes, checkout the sole with the heal facing the ceiling. Looks like nike snuck in a 23 for MJ.

[@קלנועיותצרעה]

years after the hype died down, I can say for sure The upper part of the shoe - excellent. The sole itself - terrible This is a fashion shoe and it is completely unsuitable for running. For driving a car and climbing stairs - it is simply dangerous.

[@tylerfornella8883]

Driving and walking up stairs in them is pretty dangerous 😭

[@UntilMakaveliReturns]

I have 3 pairs. I should give them away. They don’t feel as comfortable as you’d think. I’ll stick to 350s

[@brendan1760]

They rubbed the back of my achilles raw. I'm very dissapointed.

[@myathtoohtet2799]

I got it on sale for $93. Is it worth it guys? I will either wear or return em😂

[@skepticengineer6482]

what did u do in the end? were they worth it? i'm considering buying a pair (@ £140)

[@austinfowler9769]

Mannn these had so much hype when they originally dropped lol. I def like the cushion and think they’re a comfy casual shoe. I wish they made more updates to the new version, kind of a let down. Is Nike getting lazy or?

[@austinfowler9769]

My original Vapor max, that back bubble went flat, which sucked. I do have a newer version which I like

[@tejzino1598]

Which is better vapourmax vs vapourmax plus

[@BBwtzzz24]

I’m pro vapor maxxesss

[@mystiqueesports4930]

bro was crushing the soul of the shoe💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@sasproductions701]

im a skateboarder guy i love my Nike SB Dunks. years ago i had Nike TNs that were £120 which was a lot of money and with the way i walk it wore it down and the bubble popped on one foot. so im debating should of try the vapormax 2023? edit: also im not in to flyknit i prefer the plus.

[@Shalomalakum-z4q]

All the flyknit ones are horrible i think does anyone know when jd will release diffrent ones?

[@RAH_BLISS]

I love it

[@miguelramirez7175]

i will never forgive nike for murdering the OG & turning it into their yearly airmax model

[@certified_proffesional]

These will rip your ankles to shred if you wear them all day

[@kailabun8719]

Have to agree, definitely ankle breakers

[@elburto5387]

Can you explain why that is please? Genuinely curious as I'm considering purchasing.

[@treelonmusk5723]

​@@elburto5387very small and tight fit , you need to buy like atleast 1 size larger and for daily use like walking 6-8 hours they are extremely uncomfortable because of how they've split the air bubbles in smaller ones instead of a full sole air bubble

[@certified_proffesional]

@@elburto5387 they’re wobbly when you walk in them and those micro movements all day on your ankles, have them killing ypu.

[@erniejrvillanueva941]

It havent rip my ankles so far.

[@vessiel8337]

after flyknit 2.0 they went downhill. The new bubble system just look lame

[@Wladislav]

The Vapormax Plus remains the only wearable Vapormax shoe. Just by being barely more stable than the others. An awesome looking shoe that is awful to wear.

[@ukbondraider]

Vapormax Plus and the Scorpion both look absurd. Vapormax is easily the better-looking shoe. You should be selling the former two and keeping the latter. I guess I won't ever understand sneaker heads.

[@ThaiBri]

New ones are very ugly and looks bulky. What made Vapormax great were that they looked narrow and very minimal

[@MatthewMoscotto]

Nike was really lazy with this one. I wouldn’t buy this unless you never had a vapormax shoe before.

[@trendinguk]

Ive had crap experience so cant stand them at all

[@_.amo.p]

Bro spread hate the whole vid😭😭😭 Good review tho🙏🏽😂no longer buying them

[@johnmcduggle4032]

For as much as I enjoy your content, once again I have to agree to disagree..... This seems to be yet another in the long line of thinly veiled " Boost is Life" posts.... I LIKE Boost, but I ALSO like Asics, Mizuno, OC, Saucony, and yes AIR...... While I Champion your reviews on stuff like Skechers, PLEASE don't dump on the Company that LITERALLY GAVE us the Space..... PS, are you still Spinning Beats?!? Peace

[@ILuvElden_sOuls]

After a year you hate them. Till you wanna buy a new pair and forget they suck.

[@dbdb4962]

I'm anti Nike so....Definitely no vapor max for me

[@debusen81]

These are a downgrade from the 21. Yes, they’re lighter, but no heel cushioning and the insole is basically a piece of paper. Nike f’ing up as usual.

[@NameLess-lk2qu]

Bought this because they priced it at 100 dollars lol

[@lamontruffin327]

Stop it five😂😂😂

[@DjSpivey-f8u]

This shoe is not made for unathletic people.

[@YOITOMAKE]

ソールはガッチガチのはずだったけどな

[@AllSoWavyReese]

Your ankles wit thank you if just neva buy a vapor max they all horrible the fitment the ankle role and cleats feeling will never get better and they are prone to release air
