With shoes being stolen during shipping being such a big issue currently, I hate the idea of the single box. These are $250 shoes just openly revealed to anyone who handles them. That alone makes these a pass of buying online

Given the Vapormax similarities, I'm sure these have a break-in period for maximum comfort. Vapormaxes took a few wears before they were comfortable.

[@retardno002]

Three years later I'm still breaking in my Vapormaxes 😂. JK I gave them away, not even in the same zip code as 'comfort'.

Not sure why many are saying these are uncomfortable lol but these are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever purchased. I love the unique look too!

[@-Mu-min]

Comfortable yes Bad for your achilles also a yes

[@thunter992]

Because they're uncomfortable for the majority of people

[@murpheyholloran1067]

Nike describes the midsole design as a "point-loading" system (i.e. the pillars). I guess it's meant for energy return so it's good for running, hence the springiness, but they also talk about "cushion" which obviously isn't there. Even if it may be uncomfortable and odd for practicality, it's definitely my favorite AirMax design and I will 100% be picking a pair up.

[@benjaminzaoui9683]

These are neither designed for, nor are they good for running

[@richardsalinetrojr1957]

@@benjaminzaoui9683 Why are they not good for running? I bought every colorway Nike made in these for men and even bought the woman's black/purple pair. The Scorpions wouldn't be my first choice if I was literally going out for a run, but I've ran in them many times with absolutely no issues whatsoever.

[@whiskeytango2194]

Nice review. I bought a pair for myself this morning. I don’t see myself using these for the gym, just casual wear!

[@BetoisDmentD]

If your foot made direct contact with the air bubbles then back pressure pushing against your foot causes foot pain in the long term. Also that would directly restrict the energy return and could cause the bubbles to burst after continuous use. Just my personal experience

[@rafaellapolo]

Seeing as how often people have their 720’s air bubbles pop I have a hard time justifying paying so much money for these but they do look dope af

[@derjan6666]

thats why i also dont purchase shoes with that kinda big bubbles, always in my mind to watch out for the bubbles

[@jimmydishkawnt]

I havent had the experience of an air unit popping. Never owned the 720 though

[@dylanfernandez4830]

I've owned a pair of 720s and they are beat to shit. But the bubble has never popped on me. The only issue has been heel drag and has made them on the verge of being unwearable. I don't even make a conscious effort to avoid certain surfaces for popping.

[@sammallory]

300 lbs with multiple pairs that have not popped. Also Nike will replace if you have the receipt.

[@jimmydishkawnt]

As per experience, the midsole will disintegrate first, but the air unit remains intact. I have quite the collection of air units in a drawer from jordan 4's and airmax's

[@rongosserandsneakersteez3566]

Your foot doesn’t make contact with the air units to avoid the inedible concerning the previous vapor max lost of air. The version will provide a longer stability of psi which is the job of the bottom portion. I wore vapormqx flynit for many years and the unit decompressed and over time and got extremely comfortable. Your review on the shoe was detailed however testing it for s day is a major issue. You did not test the vapor max long either and conducted a review which was a bit misleading. Appreciate the review overall but this is a shoe that becomes more comfortable over time not right away….. stabilizing a psi concerning a persons weight is the key to comfort

[@dantealighieri6613]

Hmm, not sure what the durability of the bubbles would be, and there doesn't seem to be enough ankle support wrt to the design verticality. 12:51 There it is, they went for form over function.

[@kennyescolero421]

I think these look very interesting in a good way. It’s fashion forward

[@JTrimble80]

I wanna try these, as I feel the exact opposite. To me VaporMax get more comfy the longer I wear them, were as most boost sneakers for example get more and more uncomfortable throughout the day the longer I wear them.

[@SirTublington]

I'm the same woth foot fatigue. I loved the original VaporMax but i have a wider foot in the middle section (more like a rectangle vs a triangle shape lol). The TPU that bonded the bubble to the upper had a sharp edge for the back bubble and that would dig into the side of my foot

[@JTrimble80]

@@SirTublington OG VaporMax were so good…

[@FoxHowell]

They Def get better over time

[@ryguymcfly73]

I used these as a High School basketball Referee and they didn't disappoint. I was also skeptical as they had shades of the Vapormax which to this day is a failed persuit for Nike. I was very pleasantly surprised at the stability, firm stepping and running support, and was overall pleased with the construct of the shoe! I hope no one else endures the rubber sole of the airmax bladder becoming unglued, it flopped around and was a distraction from the games I was officiating, but Nike CS is great and fully accepted my return for a full refund. I then turned around and got the Black Scorpions with the RED swoosh. They're being delivered today!

Idk why tf people are saying the Scorpions are not comfortable. I suffer from neuropathy and the Scorpions are the only shoes I've worn in 3 years that don't kill my damn feet regardless of the brand. I like the Scorpions so much that I bought every single colorway in men's and even bought the black/purple woman's pair since I was able to get them in a 12.5 which is a men's 10.5. Normally wear a 11 but the 10.5 fit surprisingly well. Tbh, I wish Nike would continue making the Scorpions for years to come. Tbh, the Scorpions are honestly a live saver for me considering my neuropathy and the fact that I'm literally on my feet all day long at work. I was practically in tears by the end of my work day (was in tears at times) from the pain in my feet until I tried these out. Now I can work a double shift and still feel no pain in my feet.

Great review! I love the concept, however, I think Nike could have done better to make the, overall bland upper, to match with the crazy midsole. They look like VaporMax on steroids; it would have been great to have a pair that departs from them more radically.

I think if the footbed was somehow inside the midsole and hot a whole inch above the air it would feel better.

Sucks they stopped making them.
