Both colorways of the NikeLab Air VaporMax will be available online and through select Nike Lab on July 7 for $190 USD.
I previously covered this sneaker here, but we now have more details on it’s release. Cam Hicks of The Upsetter took some amazing shots of the sneaker , highlighting how they look on foot.

So far confirmed retailers include Nike Lab, END Clothing (via their Launches raffle) and Bodega.
