When on my first run in it today. Felt a lot like the 2nd rendition of the shoe, which I loved. I couldn’t really get behind the 3s. But this feels like they took everything that people loved from both and mixed it into one. Perfect shoe!

Nike Vaporfly 4
Men's Road Racing Shoes
The Vaporfly 4 is a mile-eating machine that just got lighter. We trimmed weight all over from the previous iteration without sacrificing performance. And the carbon-fibre Flyplate and ultra-responsive ZoomX foam midsole combine to give you race-day speed. The result is a more fine-tuned racing shoe that's trusted from the mile to the marathon.

Nike Vaporfly 4
The Vaporfly 4 is a mile-eating machine that just got lighter. We trimmed weight all over from the previous iteration without sacrificing performance.

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.
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 upper
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.
Lighter midsole and outsole
The midsole bulges at the heel 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.
What's new about the Vaporfly 4?
We made minor tweaks so you can enjoy major gains. We trimmed inessential weight in the upper, midsole and outsole without sacrificing performance.

Vaporfly 4 - back to where it began much better than the 3
Fuller503 - 20 Apr 2025
Super fast shoe, very light, great return, not a lot of size difference between the 9 and 9.5, so kept the larger as the 9 felt like it was breaking me on the stride, love the upper but needs lace locking for a snug fit, sent it on the mile, felt great think this is going to be a great race shoe, for reference I'm 5.6 and 14+ stone running 6 min mile, 43,10k , 330 marathon, so no skinny minnie.
Less bounce more speed

First pair of Vaporflies and I must say these are super light and very responsive. Not as bouncy as Alphaflies but suit my foot strike more. They want you to run fast and will be my preferred show for anything up to 1/2 marathons.
