Nike Takes Flyknit Off the VaporMax

Nike Air VaporMax for kids comes without the Flyknit.

While the Air VaporMax is only months old, Nike is already tweaking the silhouette. This version, called the VaporMax CS GS, is a kids' take that strips the Flyknit from the upper and instead uses what looks to be a combo of mesh and leather. Note that the pair pictured is a grade school size, but it's unclear if the silhouette will be offered in bigger sizes.

Plenty other VaporMax remixes have surfaced online in recent months, but this one is different in that there are leaked Nike product images of it out already, which suggests that the shoe should be available at retail relatively soon.

The only other significantly altered VaporMaxes to make it to retail so far are the laceless Comme des Garçons pairs and Virgil Abloh's deconstructed collab pre-releasing this week.
