The latest model to pay homage to a discontinued sneaker box is the Nike Air Vapormax Plus. Today’s take on the runner from Nike takes on an interesting appearance as the shoe starts off with a white neoprene construction on the upper that is then hit with Wolf Grey stripes to create and eye-catching look. Here the design is in reverse so the clear VaporMax unit appears in orange, while the textile upper features the aforementioned stripes. Completing the tribute is a white check at the ankle, a retro tongue tag, and a UPC code printed on the heel’s pull tab.
Get a closer look, and you can find this Nike Air VaporMax Plus at select Nike retailers now for $190.
