Nike Vapor 9's "Zoom Air" popped?
Not sure if I should start a new thread, but I think I popped the "air bubbles" that's "Zoom Air" inside my Vapor 9's.
I feel and hear a "crackling" right underneath my heel. So, two questions:
1) Have other people popped their Zoom Air bubbles?
2) Nike actually didn't BS us and Zoom Air is real? Holy s*** :shock:

Is it me, or was this community criticizing Nike for being a bit too conservative with colors a year or two ago? I'm very happy with these bright colors that Nike's messing with.

Yeah, I've had this exact issue with a pair of Vapor 9 SL from 2012.

Wow, so these were the AO 2013 Black/Pink ones.
I've burnt through 5 pairs of Vapor 9's, and never had this happened.

Fair point!
Remember this is the internet though and no one can ever be happy about anything. Ever.
I'm perfectly happy for them to go mental and mix things up a bit- definitely beats 10 identical white shoes with different colour accents. I'm just not a huge fan of the 'hyper' colours they're throwing in- the hyper punch on the new vapors and particularly the LB's doesn't really work in my opinion...

I found the black/hyper punch ones at the nike outlet. I wasn't actually looking for tennis shoes but I found they had these in clearance so now I'm going to look there every time in case they have some tennis shoes.
Does anyone know how the bay people sell them for that price? If they make money off selling them for $100, they must get a really good deal.I scored one off the bay for ~$100 shipped when they were released, and they're gorgeous! This is the first 9.5 that I can actually agree on. Still can't beat my Purple Flame packs though

Not three months ago they weren't.

Wholesale is far less than retail. Nike Vapors are sold like any other product.
i haven't popped any zoom air bubbles on my tennis shoes (air max a few times) but it's happened a lot with my basketball shoes. if the zoom air bubble popped, it should be very noticeable when you wear it, especially when comparing one shoe to the other. it'll feel flat and your foot should be able to feel where the inflated zoom air bubble used to be. zoom air is a pressurized bag, so even a small hole will completely deflate it, whereas max air can still maintain some shape even with a huge hole. you can also check by pressing up on the outsole when wearing it or pushing down from the insole. with that said, i've never had a crackling sound. maybe it's rubbing up against something in the shoe?
regardless, if it's really popped, you can send them back as long as it's within 2 years of manufacture date (the date on the bottom left of the tag) and they'll send you a voucher since it's considered defective

And What tag are you talking about? There are tags on the shoes? (I'm afraid I may have thrown out the shoe box, and most definitely the receipt)
yep. it's on the size tag usually on the tongue of the shoe (not sure about the vapors). there are two dates on the bottom. the bottom left date is the manufacture date. you dont need receipt or original box since the 2 year quality guarantee is based off the manufactured date. check the link below, make sure you follow directions, and there shouldnt be a problem.

Special edition is difficult to get and often sells at a premium. Does somebody know someone at Nike to get bl14 some shoes and ban him from the voucher program? We have been hearing about the voucher he got every day for two weeks!!!!

Went back on Twitter looking at the @niketennis account... The first "tease" tweet was on 10/28/13. This was the picture of the bag that came with the Seville Row vapors. So there is plenty of time to get a WTF LE vapor based on that.

The price arent adjusted very often so you'll probably wait at least a couple months before they are dropped lower. Usually, the prices are adjusted when new models come outDoes anyone know when the Tour Blue/Punch 9.5s will drop to $99.99. I expected them to drop to $108.99 and I'm assuming they'll drop a bit lower still

Tour Red in person
Was watching Fed in Shanghai, and the Tour Red/Hyper Punch look a lot darker than TW stock pics. Was that just my screen, or can someone confirm the tint? Been wearing the Cages for a couple years and might try a stint in the Vapors.

Sorry guys - just did my homework and found some pics in Babolast's Nike Winter thread. I apologize for answering my own question. They look better in person than on the web.

Thanks, I'll just keep my fingers crossed that we see them fall a bit cheaper to $99.99 like the other colors did

I clock in about 10-14hours a week and I cycled through 3 pairs from January to October.
So for me, it comes out to ~3months/pair.
Thank you.

Don't you mean the Magnet Grey / Medium Mint / Black / Space Blue V9.5s?:razz:
j/k, I just had to check the item on TW to make sure that we were thinking of the same pair and that is their color description
Personally, from a cosmetics viewpoint, I think the Grey/Mint are ridiculously awesome. I like the clay ones even a bit more since it stays with all mint rather than black but still, the hardcourt pair is a good looking shoe.
But you'll get other better opinions on the performance from other members on the boards here
Happy (voucher) spending!

Bump.
Thought I'd let everyone else know - very nice colorway - grey/navy/polarized blue from spring clay season (but with hardcourt sole) - just dropped to $81 here on TW:

Amazing price but that's probably the ugliest vapor colorway released in 2014 IMO.

^^^^^ I'm not a huge fan of the bottoms - but love the blues in these.
I thought the Miami orange/purple (under $100 for those interested) were the worst - too extreme.

Nope,they are staying with the 9.5. I guess if it's not broken, then don't fix it haha.
