[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-hiker-boot) prepares for the season transition with the latest Air VaporMax FX ISPA as it takes the classic VaporMax sneaker and adds a gaiter-esque boot attachment on top. The additional component can be detached and the base retains the same elements that make up the VaporMax 2 sneaker model.

This includes the same [Flyknit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-flyknit-venture) construction at the uppers and the longer [Swoosh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vomero-5-3) that adorns the side. The gaiter boot shell completely transforms the running sneaker into a tall structural boot, enclosed with a zipper and features a pixelated Swoosh as the branding accent. There are neutral hues along with captivating silver tones as well. The partially black colorway covers up the blue VaporMax sneaker and the silver gaiter boot adorns the all-black colorway with some accents of orange as well.
