The Nike Air VaporMax Plus Eggplant is a hybrid silhouette with an updated eggplant colorway. Remaining true to style, the sneakers employ a cage-like construction and VaporMax sole unit.
The Eggplant-colored sneakers come in the sole black/dark grey and aluminum black colorway. The upper decked out in black is constructed from synthetic fibers. This silhouette's upper is an innovative take on the VaporMax Plus and comes in a grid-style pattern. A wavy TPU overlay featuring a black and purple gradient with iridescent cages adorns the mesh-constructed upper. On the underfoot is a full-length VaporMax bubble sole unit sporting a translucent purple color falling in step with the ‘eggplant’ theme.
What we love about the Eggplant-inspired model are the shades of aqua blue on the tongue and the opalescent green heel pull tab that flank the sneakers muted look with playful colors. The Nike Air VaporMax Plus Eggplant was released on January 1st, 2019, retailing for $190.
