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-around racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.
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 feel.
Full Speed
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.
Lighter Outsole
We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared to the Vaporfly 3.
Lighter Upper
Engineered mesh helps reduce the weight of the shoe while providing a more consistent fit.
What’s New?
- Lighter upper, midsole and outsole than previous model
- Higher plate angle
- Lower heel-to-toe drop

What Reviewers Say
These shoes deliver lightweight, responsive cushioning with a noticeable spring that enhances speed and performance for road racing. The fit and comfort earn consistent praise, making them ideal for long-distance races and track use. However, recent feedback flags durability concerns—the sole and heel may wear out quickly, sometimes within 100-200km of use.

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.
“The Vaporfly 4 is the ideal Vaporfly. Nike nailed it. I love running fast in this shoe.”
