The Nike Air VaporMax Black Hot Punch is a unique colorway of the VaporMax series, popular for its distinctive design featuring individual air pods instead of a traditional foam midsole. The shoes have a predominantly black upper made from lightweight and breathable FlyKnit material, ensuring ease of movement and comfort. Complemented by white woven yarns on the forefoot and light blue panels around the heel, this design adds a contrasting touch. The translucent purple VaporMax unit on the sole enhances targeted cushioning and impact absorption. Notably, the use of Nike’s Flywire technology provides better support and a secure fit. Released on March 8, 2018, with a retail price of $190. Additionally, in honor of Air Max Day 2018, Nike introduced an updated version of their classic VaporMax silhouette, featuring an interwoven black and white breathable Flyknit upper with Hot Punch accents, Dusty Cactus detailing, and a supportive purple translucent VaporMax Air unit.
