Nike Air VaporMax
One of Nike's most recent releases, the Nike Air VaporMax consist of Nike original and game-changing technology, "Air" put into a plastic "Air" Bubble. Created in Beaverton, Oregon in the Nike Labs, each air bubble is made then put onto a flyknit upper. The shoe is the newest competitor to the Adidas UltraBoost. Some say this shoe is way more comfortable than the UltraBoost, but I think the shoe is less comfortable. I have to say the VaporMax are super lightweight and more flexible compared to the UltraBoost. For this installment, Virgil deconstructed the shoe like the other nine Nikes that are apart of the Nike X Off-White collaboration. The design begins with an all black canvas and a large white Nike swoosh. Next, you have a small piece of orange fabric near the top of the swoosh. On the inner part of the shoe, there is a piece of text in white that reads "Off-WhiteTM for NIKE "NIKE AIR VAPORMAX" Beaverton, Oregon USA C.2017." The material on the upper is flyknit technology. The material on the heel is a waterproof plastic. On the outside heel area, there is more text that reads "AIR". The shoe is one of the most wanted from the collections. Being all black and easy to style, streetwear fanatics loved the way Virgil deconstructed the shoe. The retail price of this shoe is $330. In Facebook groups, the shoe is selling for upwards of $650.

Nike Zoom Fly
The Nike Zoom fly is supposedly the best running shoe ever created and makes you a better runner. The worlds best marathon runner, Eliud Kipchoge wore the Nike Zoom VaporFly 4%, the predecessor to the Nike Zoom Fly during Nike's "Breaking 2" marathon. "Breaking 2" is the name of the 42.1 Km marathon created by Nike to prove that the Nike Zoom VaporFly 4% really makes world-class runners better. The 4% is the percentage that Nike found in a funded study done at the University of Colorado. The testers wore prototypes of the Nike Zoom VaporFly and ran an average of 4 percent more efficiently than they did in any other running shoe in the market.Three world renown marathon runners were selected for the event and trained for weeks to hopefully break 42.1 Km in 2 Hours. Eliud's best marathon time was 2:03:05. His time for the breaking 2 marathon was 2:00:25. Kipchoge already broke human expectations by achieving 2:03:05 but now twenty-five seconds away from 2 hours is really amazing for the progress in human growth and Nike proving they could make World-class runners better with they're shoes.
The Nike Zoom Fly that Virgil designed has an all-white neoprene upper with a cream coloured midsole. On the midsole, in black writing reads "FOAM". A small piece of orange fabric is placed near the upper part of the Nike swoosh. The inner part of the shoe has the same writing on each shoe. The only thing that differentiates is "Off-WhiteTM for NIKE "NIKE ZOOM VAPORFLY" Beaverton, Oregon USA C.2017." The shoe comes with black, white, green and orange laces that come with every shoe. The retail price is $330. Resell on the shoe found on local markets are $550 - $650
