Nike Air VaporMax Plus Lilac University Blue Gradient (Women's)

With the Nike Air VaporMax Plus Lilac University Blue Gradient (Women's), designer Sean McDowell has updated his earlier beach-themed design of the Air Max Plus. This dynamic sneaker sports a padded, textile upper ingredient shades of pink and purple. Those same gradient shades form the TPU floating cage on the side panel that integrate into the laces, thus providing foot stability as well as a snug closure. A black Nike swoosh hits the lateral collar, VaporMax Air branding adorns the heel and tongue. A lavender midfoot plate in the shape of a whale's tail enhances arch support, while the white foam midsole with VaporMax Air technology offers springy cushioning and energy return. Translucent rubber pods placed in high-wear areas form the outsole. Our favorite details on this shoe are the reflective hits down the laces and across the toe cap that add some glow-in-the-dark pop. The Nike Air VaporMax Plus Lilac University Blue Gradient (Women's) was released on August 27, 2022 for $210 retail.
