GOAT colorway
 
Agree with the comments here. However, I wonder if they've fixed the lacing and lock down. They look more uniform, and maybe higher over the instep. But yeah, they kinda look like a discarded Vapor Lite model.
 
They're really staying with that HC outsole? Honestly one of the worst feeling outsoles they've had on a Vapor. It is so bottom heavy. I'm very curious about the weight of those as well as what the Vapor 12 is gonna look like. Hopefully the VP3 will be a full takedown model of the Vapor 12 and the real Vapor shoe is there.

That VP2/V11 outsole is so bad, a shame they’ve committed to that design. Should be using that budget/raw materials to just do a reissue performance shoe every year/seasonal colorways
 
Sign me up for the hypersmash, simple clean design that don't look like orthopedic hot garbage.

I'm sure they won't have it with a clay outsole, which will make me sad.
I'd settle for a Vapor X/Pro outsole as it worked decently well on clay.

will reiterate for those who didn’t read that the hyper smash is just a tribute colorway to the hyperdunk of the vapor 12

Still, sign me up.
Good chance it will still be better looking than the standard Vapor 12. The ltd editions usually are.

So a bit like what was done in 2019 with the vapor x (Federer) and vapor x kyrie V (Kyrgios), tennis sole and basketball shoe upper.....I repeat, it could be worn by Kyrgios just as it was in his time :)

Seriously, why did Nike waste our time with the Vapor 11 garbage.
It looks like literally nothing from that shoe is going to this [THANKFULLY!].

so pumped about that. not a single element of the 11 in the 12. This feels like a vapor 3 to 4 or 8 to 9 moment. A total departure in the best of ways
 
Fascinated to hear how they breakdown the cushion tech. It looks very similar to lunar foam on the casing of the midsole

If I had to guess:
Heel zoom bag
Lunar carrier
Phylon forefoot

Still got that Air Zoom unit in the midsole (which could be a normal feature of V12) and the Vapor X/VP1 outsole, at least through our vantage point. Anything midsole down still looks like a VP1 mold.

Good theory here. Confirmed his test pair has the VP1 outsole and chassis
