The Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Black Dark Grey was a revolutionary masterpiece of the "walking on air" movement, representing the very first silhouette to ever feature a standalone, full-length Air unit without a separate midsole. The upper features a seamless, second-skin Flyknit construction in a sophisticated Black/Anthracite-Dark Grey palette, designed to provide breathable support and a lightweight feel. Released on June 22, 2017, for $190, it sits on the signature translucent VaporMax Air units that are tuned for responsive cushioning. We love the "stealthy" monochromatic execution; it emphasizes the shoe's futuristic architecture and its status as a high-tech hybrid. Our experts think the integrated Flywire cables and the aggressive traction pattern successfully bridge the gap between elite performance engineering and modern urban fashion, prioritizing both maximum responsiveness and a timeless, industrial aesthetic for the modern athlete.
