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. Bonus—it's made from at least 20% recycled materials by weight.

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.

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.

You get full length impact protection without feeling gummy. It's the reason why, when I first put them on, my initial thought was “I can run in these”. The impact protection is at a level that works for running. I can run 5-6 miles at a time in these bad boys and my legs don't take a beating.
