Nike Air VaporMax

The sketchy part is the paragraph below the shoes:

"Nike BHM product celebrates Black heritage and has historically provided support to the Ever Higher Fund. Nike is proud to support organizations committed to giving African-American youth an opportunity to realize and reach their full potential."

... It says that they supported organizations in the past, but nowhere in that blurb does it say that the extra $15 price WILL go to support organizations. I hope its not just a money grab, and they actually will give that money to groups that need it.
Yeah and why is that the only model with a price jump?
 
AIR MAX DAY 2018 LINE UP

Imagination_Into_Reality_AM_Line_Up_16x9_hd_1600.jpg

For Air Max Day 2018, Nike celebrates cult classics from the Air Max line that share a visibly pioneering trait. Each shoe’s game-changing air unit pushed both Nike Air and footwear design forward. The respective models all evidence Nike’s unrelenting spirit of innovation, turning fresh imagination into reality at each successive step.

For instance, the introduction of the Air Max 180 in 1991 made the dream of running on air a reality. The 180 Max Air unit, with 180 degrees of visible air, allowed direct contact between the cushioning element and the pavement. Not only was it an advancement in Nike technology, it also forged a breakneck aesthetic. Additionally, the initial Ultramarine colorway has become an instantly recognizable Nike scheme. The Air Max 180 returns in OG form February 2.

Two years later, 180 degrees was eclipsed when Tinker Hatfield included (for the time) a huge, rounded heel unit in the Air Max 93. Internally, it took on the moniker 270 — because it exposed 270 degrees of air — and its neoprene collar offered another striking shift in running shoe design. The Air Max 93 releases February 2.

With the Nike VaporMax Plus, two revolutionary icons — the Tn and the VaporMax — combine to celebrate one of the Air Max line’s most innovative uppers and its most daring Max Air unit. The striking lines of Sean McDowell’s ’98 classic are given a new moldable mesh articulation, while the VaporMax Air-Sole lends an ultralight ride. Limited units of the Nike VaporMax Plus drop today on SNKRS. A full release follows January 25.

The Air Max 270, officially unveiled at Nike Investor Day, is the first Air Max model designed for lifestyle. At 32mm, the heel bag is the tallest yet, and it offers a super-soft bounce that's perfect for long days out. The first drop of Air Max 270 occurs on February 1 and new colorways of the Air Max 270 are available beginning March 2. Select colorways are available in women's and youth sizing.

Additionally, the Nike Air VaporMax 97, Nike VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 and Air Max 1/97 Vote Forward SW will also release during the lead up to Air Max Day.

The Nike Air VaporMax 97 combines two of the most iconic representations of full-length Air from the past and present.

The result is an all-new combo that celebrates big Air while bordering on the surreal.

All this time I was hoping 2.0 wasn't real and was just some fakes, wonder if they'll continue to release the 1.0 or if I should start picking up more pairs while available, maybe some will hit sales once 2.0's hit.
 
I guess it's nice to know i won't be able to land everything i want on air max day

Love the 97/1 hybrids (which i will most likely fail to get) and would love a pair of OG 180s
 
Well, Im glad the 2.0 is coming out soon. Its going to give my wallet a break at least for now. That Air 180 I'll have to get and the 270 for sure. I may get that volt Vapormax 97 too. For me though 1.0 > 2.0.

Nike BHM has always been a money grab IMO
 
Ruined... and whored out... 2.0 is meh... all the slapping of the bags around is meh...

Time to just get my feet done on the regular and rock some old navy $2 flip flops lol....
 
Slightly better look at the upcoming iD's

If I’m not mistaken, this is for Japan. These five preset colorways look like the ones loaded up on the US Nike+ Members Only section. I believe they did something similar for the metallic colorways, where they were set colorways in the US but Presented as ID options elsewhere - so I’m assuming they will be normal price.
 
Missed those all black vapormax plus today. I see a 1/25 date a few places for them, but does include all 3? I'm hoping to grab the original Tn colorway at the bottom of this image.
