Nike Air Vapor+ X Adidas 4DFWD

Sole Swap Hybrid

This was a classic example of “love it but hate it”- The uppers on these Nike Vapormax+ was undeniable but the vapormax cushioning system just did not feel stable. So what was the decision at Sailboat Supplies? Lets just change the cushioning system! We removed the vapormax unit from the uppers of these Vapormax+ and removed the midsole/outsole of some Adidas 4DFWD to create a unique, cross-brand hybrid. After removal, the 4DFWD midsoles were dyed using RIT dye before being attached to the Vapormax uppers in an attempt to match the color gradient on the uppers.

This project was completed as a personal pair for Sailboat and was created with a Sz 12 Vapormax+ upper and Sz 12 Adidas 4DFWD. They fit true to size. Other than one minuscule alignment issue on the right shoe, these came out nearly flawless and will likely not be for sale any time soon.
