After a less enjoyable Vaporfly 3, I was ecstatic to try these on and immediately notice the similarities to the Vaporfly 2 which was previously my favorite Nike racings shoe. “Adding lightness,” in the words of Lotus, is the best thing you can do whenever you already have an incredible design. Laces have improved slightly, and are still the best on the market; these don’t stretch and don’t come untied. Durability is always the tradeoff with some foams, and is the only possible criticism of this pair.

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.

Performance Approved
The handwritten number on the midsole salutes the wear-testers who put these shoes through our rigorous test process to give you the best performance possible.
Full Speed
A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate provides a propulsive, racing feel.
More Energy Return
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
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
- Higher plate angle
- Lower heel-to-toe drop

Did my first run in these and I definitely was going super fast, I did size up as needed for running shoes and it was perfect. Gave me a boost of confidence for my upcoming half marathon!

Full-Length Carbon Fiber 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 fiber 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 cushion. The softer material compresses to conform to the road for elevated traction and smooth transition.
- 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 fiber Flyplate has a higher angle than the Vaporfly 3 and combines with a lower heel-to-toe drop to give you a propulsive feel on race day.
“Gave me a boost of confidence for my upcoming half marathon!”
