Stacked up against the rest of the Swoosh Brand’s hybridized silhouettes infused with Vapormax sole units, the Vapormax Plus stands a bit taller. Not literally of course, but the model equipped with an Air Max Plus upper, an extra set of cushioning on its midfoot for optimal comfort, and everyone’s favorite boisterous air bubbles has risen toward the top of the Swoosh Brand’s in-line ranks this year. There is something about the dazzling nature of the two elements that have come together that creates a model that feels like its been around for decades while still boasting a wildly refreshing aesthetic. Keeping its immense momentum rolling, the next colorway for the Plus calls upon a New York-friendly combination of blue and orange that adorn the uniforms of both the Mets and the Knicks. Much like Kyrie Low 1s we showed you earlier in the week, the presence of a sleek navy lends to a motif resemblant of the Knickerbocker’s FDNY uniforms paying homage to the unsung heroes of the Big Apple. An orange gradient pattern starts out at this iteration’s heel and fades toward that stately navy as it approaches the tongue and forefoot. This new release is available now on Nike.com.
