Nike is heading in the right direction, according to Morgan Stanley Research analysts.
The bank predicts Nike's performance will improve based on new products like the Air VaporMax, favorable fashion trends, and the brand's shortening of its supply chain to bring products to market faster. These factors will lead to 5% growth in the 2018 fiscal year, according to the bank.
The VaporMax is a large part of this according to the analysts, and Morgan Stanley considers it emblematic of the brand's continued strength and ability to create innovations that customers want to buy.
"Our checks suggest Air VaporMax can become Nike's next $1 billion shoe," the note reads.
The VaporMax is Nike's latest Air-based innovation. It strips all the foam and rubber from the sole of the shoe, leaving the plastic airbags that all Nike Air shoes have completely exposed. That skeleton-like sole is then attached to Nike's Flyknit woven upper.
Nike has constrained its supply of the shoe since its launch earlier this year, dribbling out new colors periodically since then. The sneakers retail for $190.
