Totally into Nike trainers yeah.
You should always check out the Ebay auctions for trainers. In the UK a pair of Vapormax cost about £150=£160 retail. I see genuine Vapormax auctioned on Ebay for £100-£110 regularly.
The Knock offs are easy to spot because they aren't usually in an auction for 1, and 2 those which are for sale (
buy it now) are peanuts but usually get removed after a day or two anyway.
But yeah i'm always looking for Nike trainers on Ebay for a bargain price and usually do alright.
I figured Vapormax, regardless of the thickness of the rubber on the sole, will still be no good once the heel is worn on one side, which is typical. Unless the entire sole is sanded down flat again then there's really no point having rubber an inch thick. They are a great looking trainer though. Maybe as a house shoe they'd be great (called slippers in the uk). I wear a pair of Black/lime swoosh Nike revolution 4 trainers round the house actually. They are just so comfortable. Probably the most comfy shoes i've ever had. The uppers are made from a soft "woollike" material and not suede nor leather etc. If i owned a pair of Vapormax i wouldn't go out in them ever. They're too pretty !.
