Nike Vaporfly 4
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.
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 feel.
The full-length carbon fibre Flyplate sits at a higher angle compared to the plate in the Vaporfly 3. It combines with a lower heel-to-toe drop to give you a propulsive feel on race day.
We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared with the Vaporfly 3.

The glass slipper of running shoes

Maybe my favorite pair of running shoes. The fit is phenomenal, and the connected-to-ground feel really makes me enjoy my daily running. Some folks don't like the laces, but they are my favorite. I sometimes wish the shoe had slightly more stack, but only because it does tend to compress and lose bounce after awhile. I have 300 miles on my pair. I love them for easy runs and hill repeats and medium long runs. Towards the end of a 10+ miler I do start to feel like these may not be the best for a full marathon. I hope the next iteration is even better!
