With the advent of Vapormax running the show on the Air Max front for a while, Nike is beginning to show us the possibilities are not only endless, but that they’ve barely even scratched the surface. We’ve seen variations of the original Vapormax silhouette in the form of the Laceless and the Moc, and newly designed uppers are even confirmed to drop soon overseas (the Vapormax CS). This first look at the Vapormax Chukka Slip gives a peek into what the brand has in store for its revolutionary Air unit, and it’s clear that a lifestyle/non-performance direction is in its sights. It’s for quick, on-the-go individuals who want to slip on their kicks without having to worry about lacing, and the bootie construction as well as the exterior mid-foot housing should offer ample stability. There’s some potential in terms of fashion-concept collaborations as well. See below for a first look and stay tuned for official release info.
