Poor heel construction

Poor shoe construction heel fell apart on both pairs after 8 weeks of use. Did barely 100km in these running 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-around racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.

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 fiber 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 to the Vaporfly 3.
Engineered mesh helps reduce the weight of the shoe while providing a more consistent fit.

When I first put them on, I could immediately feel the soft and bouncy ZoomX foam and when I ran in them, the fly plate was so propulsive and got a new PR on my time trial in the 3200 on the roads!
Poor quality

I really like the look and feel of the shoe however, the manufacturing quality is unacceptable. I’ve had the soles fall off of three pairs of shoes within the first month of running. I’ve never had a quality issue on any other running shoe for over 40 years except for this specific model. Nike, you need to do better. This isn’t a fluke, this is a quality control issue with your manufacturing.
