The Vapormax line functions as an evolution to the Air Max, especially considering the more futuristic outsoles. The colors however have dipped into the realm of old classics, seemingly mixing new and old, which works really well. The Vapormax Hyper Grape nods to the 80s and 90s, using a trio of colors, hyper grape, hyper pink, and teal familiar to those years. The Vapormax Hyper Grape is so 80s/90s.
Let's take a closer look at these retro inspired kicks. The neutrals clad upper contrast with the splash of colors throughout, namely the grape swoosh with green lining. Nike in purple and Vapormax in white on a pink background colors the tongue. Splotches of green and grape runs along the midsole, heading to the heel, with splashes of pink on the translucent outsole.
The Vapormax Evo Hyper Grape will be available for purchase in the near future.
