I have worn these for all the marathons I’ve run and nothing else compares. The carbon fiber plate offers perfect bounce and support I need during a long run. The new stretch braided laces instead of the previous barbed laces is a great new feature. I’m normally a size 7 but always order a size up for marathons size 8 gives enough room without being too big. Wouldn’t run a marathon without them.

Nike Vaporfly 4
$360
A light, efficient design feels propulsive for all 26.2.
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.
Full Speed
A full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate provides a propulsive, racing 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 feel.
Engineered mesh
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.
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.
What's new?
- Lighter upper, midsole, outsole

Vaporfly sets the bar!
jamp288920831 - 08 Sept 2025
Very happy with this replacement for the original pair that had a defect on the inner sole. This one is defect free and it felt better than my other Vaporfly pair from last year- I felt the middle of the shoe was a bit wider which felt better. As for comfort and performance - same as my other Vaporfly. This is labeled as woman’s shoe - but it remains unisex and I can’t tell the difference.
will fly like fast! running on marshmellows

wore these to a race because i finally wanted to try them out and see what the hype was about… i cut two minutes off my original record and got my race pr. i was flying in these shoes, going 6 minutes flat per mile. if you are already are a fast runner (talking about averaging sub 9 minute miles) get these…

Full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate & ZoomX foam
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.
Features that perform
Lighter upper
Engineered mesh helps reduce the weight of the shoe, while providing a more consistent fit. And we saved more weight by reducing the size of the heel and tongue.
Lighter foam
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got lighter. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before with a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy, feathery feel.
Lighter outsole
We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared to the Vaporfly 3.
Full speed
The full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate has a higher angle than the Vaporfly 3, and is combined with a lower heel-to-toe drop to give you a propulsive feel on race day.
