Jovani Hernandez The Nike Vapormax Flyknit 2021 is no longer the boldest sneaker with visible Air, but it continues to play an important part in the brand’s product lineup.
Recently, the Vapormax-cushioned design emerged in a colorful ensemble dedicated to Marion “Frank” Rudy, the godfather of Nike Air.
In the 1970s, the former NASA aeronautical engineer pitched the idea of a new cushioning technology that used enclosed gas. His proposal debuted on the Air Tailwind of 1979, but was seen by the world almost 10 years later with the Air Max 1. The unreleased Vapormax Flyknit 2021 showcases Rudy’s invention fully, pairing it with a breathable knit upper. The white, blue, orange, and red-colored shoe also comes with blueprint graphics on the insole and a pressure measuring device hangtag.
No firm nike.com release details have been disclosed, but that’s likely to change soon. In the meantime, enjoy official images of the pair ahead.
