Nike's Air VaporMax Run Utility Boasts Aqua-Toned Details

— November 5, 2018 — Fashion
Sportswear label Nike gave the signature Air VaporMax Run Utility sneakers a new tonal makeover entitled the 'Tropical Twist.' The new iteration readies itself for summer with its predominantly white upper with a decoration of speckled gray panels throughout the exterior. True to the original design, the silhouette is complete with a VaporMax sole unit in black. Although most of the uppers are complete in monochromatic hues, they are contrasted by tropically-informed hues of orange and bright aqua blue.

The heel guard is finished in vibrant blue and the toggle lacing systems, the outsoles and the tongue are complete in orange details. The Tropical Twist Air VaporMax Run Utility is set to drop online at Nike beginning November 8th.
