Nike Air VaporMax 2021 M. Frank Rudy DQ8963-100

One of the main reasons behind Nike's success is undoubtedly the Air cushioning system. We are sure every one of you sneakerheads is aware of the beloved feature! But do you have any idea about the brain behind the path-breaking technology? In the late 1970s, aeronautical engineer Marion Frank Rudy put forth the idea and made it all possible. The Swoosh team's fame may be credited to Tinker Hatfield for the same reason, but if it were not for Rudy, we would not get what we love so much today. And now, it is finally the time when the team gives homage to the engineer. In its upcoming release, the Nike Air VaporMax 2021 M. Frank Rudy, the team pays tribute to the man behind the game with a stylish pair.

This latest addition to the Air VaporMax family is an eco-friendly piece for the starter. Firstly, the pair features a breathable off-white stretchy flyknit upper. On the other hand, the overlays get the fabric material. As you can see, the pair enjoys a monochrome look with a neutral colourway. However, a yellow translucent Swoosh branding on the lateral adds contrasting colour. Additionally, the heel clip twins with Swoosh to add more deets.

Furthermore, the team keeps the wearer in mind while designing the pair. The oversized pull tabs for convenience make it evident. Moreover, the slip-on feature further testifies to that. Like the previous Nike Air VaporMax 2021 releases, this iteration has a blueprint-inspired graphic at the insoles. What's more, it comes with a hang tag that's identical to a California license plate. Lastly, the underfoot enjoys a canary-coloured semi-transparent sole unit with VaporMax cushioning.

The Air VaporMax did not have a smooth journey towards success, and it had its share of ups and downs, which is an interesting story. Want to know all the details? Head straight to our Nike Air VaporMax: A Complete Guide.
