Nike Vapor

Vapor is not a model at Nike but a promise: so light it’s almost not there. The brand sticks the name on its fastest, thinnest version within a sport, and precisely because of that the shoes under this label often have nothing to do with each other. Anyone searching here should first decide which sport they mean.

The largest group comes from American football. The Vapor Untouchable is the shoe of the wide receivers, with a thin synthetic skin, a snug-fitting upper and a soleplate with fixed studs for artificial turf. Versions from well-known players and special editions around the Super Bowl regularly appear in the selection.

Besides that, the tennis branch uses the name, with the models played at the major tournaments; those are listed on the NikeCourt page. Soccer has its own Vapor as the low version of the Nike Mercurial Vapor, and in the golf range Vapor models appear that borrow the design language of the Air Jordan 3, complete with elephant print. For running, the name appears on the Nike Vaporfly.

The common thread is the construction: less material, thinner layers and a snug fit, based on the belief that every gram counts. The implementation differs by sport, the idea does not.

On this page you can see which versions bearing the Nike Vapor name are currently hottest according to the Hypescore, from what price they can be found and at how many shops they are in stock.
