The Air VaporMax × co-branded 'The Ten' is the defining colourway of the Air VaporMax co-branded 'The Ten' collection — a black, white, and total orange colourway built on the Air VaporMax Flyknit silhouette with the full co-branded 'The Ten' hardware and graphic system. The shoe pairs a tonal black and dark grey dual-zone Flyknit upper with a white Swoosh, white flat laces, a red industrial zip tie with white 'MADE IN CHINA' hang tag, a white woven tongue label with orange Swoosh, white ‘“AIR”’ quotation-mark text at the heel midsole junction, a grey woven collar band, a black woven heel pull tab with orange accent, and a full-length black VaporMax Air unit. The VaporMax construction is the defining silhouette feature: a full-length Air unit that contacts the ground directly with no traditional midsole, with a dense cylindrical Air chamber array in full black rubber. The key distinctions from the Part 2 colourway are: a white Swoosh (vs silver on Part 2), white flat laces (vs black rope on Part 2), a red zip tie (vs orange on Part 2), a full black VaporMax Air unit (vs frosted ice transparent with glow-in-dark forefoot on Part 2), a grey woven collar band (not present on Part 2), and a 'MADE IN CHINA' hang tag (vs 'MADE IN VIETNAM' on Part 2). The defining co-branded hardware detail is the red industrial zip tie — a total red zip tie with a serrated single edge, threaded through the lace eyelet, the most visible colour accent on the upper. The defining co-branded graphic detail is the white ‘“AIR”’ quotation-mark text at the heel midsole junction — white quotation-mark-enclosed AIR text on the black heel counter, the most iconic co-branded graphic element. The full black VaporMax Air unit is the defining midsole detail: a dense cylindrical Air chamber array in full black rubber with no transparency, the darkest and most tonal VaporMax Air unit across the co-branded collaboration.

The upper is built from black fine-knit Flyknit with a dense small-hole ventilation structure across the toe box, quarter panel, and tongue, with a dark grey Flyknit zone at the lateral midfoot and heel counter creating a subtle tonal two-tone system. A white large Swoosh with black edge stitching is on the lateral midfoot — the most visible upper accent against the black Flyknit, and the key Swoosh distinction from the Part 2 (silver). The laces are white flat textile — a flat woven lace, the key lace distinction from the Part 2 (black rope). A red industrial zip tie with a serrated single edge is threaded through the lace eyelet — the defining co-branded hardware, the most visible colour accent, and the key zip tie distinction from the Part 2 (orange). A white rectangular hang tag printed with 'MADE IN CHINA / FABRIQUÉ EN CHINE / HECHO EN CHINA' multilingual text is attached to the red zip tie. A white rectangular woven tongue label with black co-branded sportswear text and an orange Swoosh is on the tongue. A grey woven collar band covers the collar top on both the lateral and medial sides — a detail not present on the Part 2. Black woven heel pull tabs with an orange small rectangular accent at the top are on both the lateral and medial sides of the heel. White ‘“AIR”’ quotation-mark text is printed at the heel midsole junction on both sides — the defining co-branded graphic. ‘VAPORMAX’ text is on the heel counter in tonal black. The full-length midsole is the VaporMax Air unit in full black rubber — a dense cylindrical Air chamber array contacting the ground directly with no traditional midsole, fully opaque black with no transparency or glow-in-dark elements.
