Nike Air Vapormax Plus Tn Men´s Women´s White 924453-100 Cushion Dair Basketball Shoes

IN THE ORIGIN OF DESIGN
The Air VaporMax Plus Tn opens a new era of Nike innovation. "It completely transformed our approach to Air model design," says Zachary Elder, a designer specializing in cushion innovation. With VaporMax, designers really wanted to give athletes the impression of "running on air". They began by restructuring the Air unit to connect it directly to the vamp. "It was the main challenge," says Tom Minami, senior shoe designer, but it was worth it. "Without a midsole or sockliner, you will rediscover the sensations of Air cushioning. In previous Air Max models, the goal was to place as many Air units as possible in the sole, but the VaporMax relies on more efficient use of the technology. "When you put your foot down, each lug goes into the Air unit, increasing the pressure," says Zachary Elder. "When you lift your foot, the pressure is released, creating even more dynamic cushioning. After working for seven years on this shoe, Zachary Elder and Tom Minami are eager to discover what the future holds for them. "I´m really proud of the product," says Zachary Elder. "The new approach represents a real turning point for Nike Air technology and for Nike. "

ORIGINS OF NIKE AIR MAX
Nike´s revolutionary Air-Sole unit was introduced to the Nike line of shoes in 1978. In 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 was for the first time equipped with a visible air cushion in the heel. Now, in addition to feeling the comfort of the Air-Sole technology, everyone could also see it in action. Since then, the Nike Air Max new generation shoes have been a constant hit with athletes and collectors, thanks to their striking color combinations and light weight, which offers a perfectly cushioned stride.

SYNTHETIC LEATHER STRAPS WITH MAGNETIC CLOSURE FOR OPTIMAL STABILITY
The Nike Flyknit technology is inspired by the indications of runners wanting to have a shoe as comfortable as a sock while being barely noticeable. Nike has embarked on a four-year mission where programmers, engineers, and designers have been thinking about how to create the technology to make the mesh upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then, the precise placement of the holding, flexibility and breathability zones (all in one piece) has been redesigned. The result: a virtually seamless, fitted and ultralight upper.
