The new NIKE AIR VAPORMAX 360 takes key elements from two archival masterpieces and brings them together in this latest hybrid design. To understand Nike’s innovative approach when designing the Air Max series, join us as we take a trip back to 2006, where the story begins…

The release of the Nike Air Max 360 back in January 2006 pushed the boundaries of what we thought was possible, showcasing an all-encompassing Air sole unit for the first time ever, which offered unrivalled levels of stability and cushioning. Whilst the technology was cutting-edge, the use of the original Air Max colour palette and the contoured sidewalls – a nod to the gradated panels of the Air Max 95 – ensured that everyone knew that this was the newest member of the Air Max family.

Nike kept the foot on the throttle, releasing the highly-acclaimed Nike VaporMax in 2017 to ‘provide lightweight, consistent cushioning that lasts’ – almost the same brief first answered by the original Air Max model back in 1987. The seamless Flyknit application on top offered a lightweight and flexible upper, echoing the superlative qualities of the Air unit underneath.

With such heavy artillery to hand, it’s no wonder that Nike took some of the key ingredients from these past successes and applied them to the new Air VaporMax 360. The combination of a full-length foam midsole and VaporMax Air unit provides comfort underfoot, whilst the plush collar and half-bootie tongue construction keep things snug around the foot. A lightweight TPU frame encapsulates the heel section as a nod to the original Air Max 360, echoed further with smart lace loops and a welded synthetic skin utilised across the upper. The past glories of the Air Max series are obvious, but with new designs such as the VaporMax 360, the future looks as bright as it ever has.
