“Dusty Cactus” Contrast Brightens A Nocturnal Nike Vapormax Flyknit 2023

Vapormax continues to be one of the most bankable assets in the Nike catalog. Despite its premium retail price, the Air-centric product line has minted consistent hits, be it the ever-popular VaporMax Plus or mainline formulations like the Vapormax Flyknit 2023. As the latter continues its second year on the market, it’s shuffling in with some spotlight shades present throughout the larger catalog, like in this combination of “Team Red” & “Dusty Cactus.”

The rosy hue is typically used for Chicago-esque colorways, but this proves a divergence. “Team Red” and “Dusty Cactus” make their greatest impact sewn into the Flyknit upper, livening up the otherwise jet black section. Each of them get one additional spot where they influence this shoe’s overall look; teal tints the wavy Vapormax units underfoot, while red outlines the lace section as it dances around the tongue.

The Nike Vapormax Flyknit 2023 “Dusty Cactus” is currently set for a Fall ’24 launch, carrying the typical $210 retail price. Get a better sense of this pair via the official images included ahead.
