How it ranks
The Nike Air VaporMax 3 ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Looks and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 1 runner review and 4 other rated shoes in the Air VaporMax product line. Another 11 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
