Is the VaporMax part of the running line? Or is part of the sportswear line? Just wondering if it's meant to be a performance shoe or more of a lifestyle shoe.

Pretty much short time trend as most of the hype was on adidas in the last year because of all the NMD and Yeezy releases. I am sure this year it will start turning back to what it was before that. Will be interesting to see how that goes.

NMDs and UBs are actually easier to get now outside of the collabs so interest might be dwindling but then they'd probably just force more Yeezy colorways out.

It's being marketed as a performance running shoe but chances are it isn't going to be the best in that department.

And as for price, I a actually surprised Nike priced them at $190 considering the Air Max Flyknit from last year retailed for $220.

The thing that really pissed me off about Nike was when they announced the Nike Pro Hijab, and then said it won't release until 2018 like they need an entire ******* year to cut some poly into a hijab pattern.

it requires a lot of wear testing

This is something I am really looking forward to try. Imagine if its really that good and light... They have so much option to put that on lifestyle models also. If they go the right way, boost will be forgotten very soon.

Flyknit upper, new outsole? $220

my understanding is that specific model isn't releasing to the public, it's just for their runners trying to break the 2hour mark for marathons but they are using that new cushioning called ZoomX which is confusing because supposedly it doesn't have any zoom bags, they should have just named it something else it is Nikes response to boost, Runners World said that they tested Boost with a 70% energy return but with zoomX they found an 85% energy return http://www.runnersworld.com/running...at-will-break-2-hours-in-the-marathon/slide/2 what's releasing is the VaporFly and ZoomFly

Yes elite model is only for Nike athletes. But the material used for the midsole is the same also on the model that will release for Public. I am super excited even for those models. It is basically the same shoe, but the elite model is custom designed to the athlete's feet specifications to maximize performance. But I think what is the most important for Nike is the material of the midsole which is super light and responsive and it is just like a foam, so they can probably make almost any shape, not like for VaporMax where midsole shape depends on function.

Can't wait to get those Vapor Maxes on clearance.

Lol, in all seriousness you think they'll really hit clearance? I thought they'd immediately sell out, there's a ton of hype, especially for the platinum and the Nikelab triple black
