Are Nike Air VaporMax Plus Worth It? A Comparison To The Max 90s & TN

Today we return to a subject close to my heart and from the early days of the Urban Gentry channel—yes it's time to talk sneakers! Or should I say trainers?

In this review I take a look at my first pair of Nike Air VaporMax Plus in the triple black (noir) color way. I give my initial impressions, critiques, and a quick backstory explaining the importance of the Nike Air Max shoe.

In my 2020 video about the Top 10 Things I Can't Live Without, I talked about my love for collecting the Nike Air Max 90, and why they are my favorite sneaker. So, how does this latest and most expensive evolution of this iconic sneaker at $200 compare? Is the hype justified or is it all…just air? Let’s find out!

As a sneakerhead, TGV reviewing sneakers is something I'm down for.

Very happy to see the return of this style of video! Top job, TGV!

I agree that they should have had a display caseback to see inside the wonderful movement : D

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw TGV sniffing the "fresh pair" of sneakers as if it was a glass of wine or a plate a of cooked food. LOL!

Showing my age but I was 13 in 1987 and owned the first Air Max as a birthday present! They were so comfortable! Still wearing Air Max today! Downshifted 8s! Love them! Great episode and lovely to watch something different! Rocking my G-Shock M5610 1ER with said Air Max. Air Max 90 for the win!

Very glad you are covering Style/Fashion as well as Watches

[sturmgold]

I am so in love with all the content on your chanel! I am really glad that I discovered it about a year ago :D since then I got more and more into watches. Ok I only got myself a "Casio-Oak" but I guess I would never bought a watch at all without you passionately talking about them.

Thank you TGV, i subscribed to your channel originally because I love watches and your comments. But this time you convinced me to order the Nike Air Vapormax Plus Sneakers in white. Thank you so much. Sure I will enjoy them on my trip to Florence in a couple of weeks.

Trainers and watches are two of my biggest interests, very excited too see trainers on this channel

[simtye]

Love it! Keep it different every now and then! Excellent!

Good day TGV, that is some Original Gentry Content! Those Nikes are timeless classics. Me personally I rotate between Nike, Adidas and New Balance. those VaporMax look pretty comfy, I have to say. Have a great evening!

[hagakureone]

Wow TGV viewer since 5 years. I got them this week. Perfect timing. Love from Munich

[smiles]

I love my Nikes! There all I wear. Got the 90s, vapourmaxs, 2017s, 2090s but my fav that I can’t go without is my 95s. Love them

[kenfuller]

This type of video got me into the gentry. That mix of geek, attention to detail, enthusiasm and humour. The subject, coffee, wine, trainers or dare I say it watches……..doesn’t matter.

[GuyVanderAa]

Unexpected topic for me but both my feet and fashion sense thank you 😊
Keep the variety going!

[tlgptru]

Most comfy nike sneaker i have ever had. Love my vapormax plus

[jackhobson]

Refreshing content, loved this video. Top stuff

[OdyLiagkas]

I originally started watching for the watch content a couple or more years ago, but I have to say, I really enjoy your videos that are about “random” topics that you enjoy

[sidvicious]

I just bought a pair today. They are black and white with pink accents and the soles are a lime green.

You care always stylish my friend, always, from the ⌚️ to the track suits. Keep it coming Gentry, keep it coming!!!
