really fast and lightweight. have only used it for a couple of runs but planning to use it for an upcoming Half Marathon.

Nike Vaporfly 4 Proto
Men's Road Racing Shoes
The Vaporfly 4 is a lean, mean, mile-eating machine. We trimmed weight in the midsole, outsole and upper from the Vaporfly 3, without sacrificing performance. The result is a lighter, more propulsive all-round racing shoe that's trusted from the mile to the marathon.

Nike Vaporfly 4 Proto

Performance approved
The handwritten number on the midsole salutes the wear-testers who put these shoes through our rigorous test process to give you the best performance possible.
Full speed
A full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate provides a propulsive, racing feel. A higher angle of the plate and lower heel-to-toe drop compared with the Vaporfly 3 give you an improved propulsive feel.
More energy return
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got faster. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before thanks to a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy, feathery feel.
Less weight
Engineered mesh offers improved comfort and a disappearing feel on your foot. It helps reduce the weight of the shoe while supplying a more consistent fit. And we reduced the size of the heel and tongue, saving even more weight.
Light feel
See how the midsole bulges out by the heel? We designed it that way to help reduce weight on the inside of the foot to give you a more stable ride. We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared with the Vaporfly 3. You still get the same reliability, just without any unnecessary thickness.
What's new about the Vaporfly 4?
We took a race-car approach when updating the Vaporfly 4, making many minor tweaks so you can pursue major gains. We trimmed weight in the midsole, outsole and upper without sacrificing performance.

Fast shoe

Vaporfly is back
Bensxr - 29 Mar 2025
Finally a shoe made for speed not favoring stability. The Vaporfly is back. As soon as I put them on they felt awesome. Don’t let stack height numbers fool you, there’s plenty cushion needed for race day. And they look great 😊
Great shoe

much better than the 3rd gen model, a lot more aggressive, would actually use these for racing, unlike the vapor 3s, which i only ever reached for on session days.

What's new??
- Nike's most resilient foam just got a little better. The midsole design saves weight and unlocks even more energy return by reducing foam where it isn't needed.
- The lab-tested and runner-validated, curved, full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate delivers a propulsive feel and unlocks more leverage from the foot and ankle.
- The blown rubber outsole delivers a dynamic combination of traction, durability and cushioning. The softer material compresses to conform to the road for elevated traction and a smooth transition.
- The engineered mesh upper increases comfort and fit consistency, while contributing to the overall weight savings of the shoe.


"The Vaporfly 4 is the ideal Vaporfly. Nike nailed it. I love running fast in this shoe".
