With hybrid models like the Vapormax Run Utility and Air Max 270 Bowfin, Nike has taken some of their most-loved lifestyle models and added extra rugged embellishments, creating new silhouettes that are recognizable enough to appear familiar — but unique enough to find a separate place in your closet. The Vapormax Run Utility’s mix of a sleek and speedy cushioning unit with a rugged techwear-style upper is perfect for the colder months, and now it’s surfaced in a retro combination of colors — with slight Nike ACG vibes — that continues the Swoosh Brand’s fusion of old and new. The upper offers a combination of tan ripstop material and a flecked grey synthetic, while a bold hit of color is provided by burgundy Flywire that reaches up the midfoot and serves as loops for the lacing system. The black heel counter features technical specifications, a wheat gold appears on the sockliner, and a speckled dark grey midsole/crystal-clear Vapormax cushioning unit complete the look. This new colorway of the Vapormax Utility is available now at the retailers listed below for $190 USD. .
