Nike Vaporfly 4
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.
A full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate provides a propulsive, racing feel.
Nike ZoomX foam, 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 offers improved comfort and a disappearing feel on your foot. It helps reduce the weight of the shoe while supplying a more consistent fit.
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.

So light and bouncy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third pair of these. That’s the best endorsement that I can give them. They are so much fun to run in.

I gave the shoe back. Second time in my life.

It is extremely bouncy in the back of the shoe and unstable. My foot rotated left and right.

These are very light comfy racing shoes, which at 70, recently helped me to a new 10k PB! The only reason I gave 4 stars, is due to the short life these shoes have. The small heel soles soon wear off, and the foam scuffs and disintegrates. A more robust heel sole is required in my opinion.

A full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate & ZoomX foam
The 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.
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.
We've reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared with the Vaporfly 3.
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.
