With the first 1-piece Air unit to run the entire length of a shoe, the Air VaporMax 2023 Flyknit lets you walk on unbelievable cushioning. And at the top, stretchy and supportive Flyknit keeps it breezy and light.

Generally speaking, it's a true-to-size sneaker, although it does follow a slightly narrow fit, so if you have noticeably wide feet we'd recommend taking half a size up from your regular size.

Conclusion. What drives the retail markup for the Air Max shoes up is the demand by consumers. Thanks to the influence of technology, comfort, design, style, and hype, many sneakerheads cop Air Max sneakers, and thus, due to demand and supply chain, the sneakers are more expensive.

Where previous Air Max models filled the sole with as much air as possible, the VaporMax focuses on using less air, more efficiently. Using pressure maps of the foot, the designers were able to pinpoint the exact amount of Air as well as Air placement needed to support a runner's stride.
