We reworked the leader of the super shoe pack and tuned the engine underneath for those who see speed as a gateway to more miles and more seemingly uncatchable highs. From elite runners to those new to racing, this versatile road-racing workhorse is built for all athletes chasing personal bests from a 10K to marathon.
Keep Growing
Whenever someone trains with Eliud Kipchoge, they're asked to plant a tree at his base camp to signify their growth. The sockliner graphics mimic that growth with branches moving forward towards the front of the shoe. The red clay color fade nods to the Kenyan dirt that stains the shoes when training. The font is a play on African trees that have fractal-like patterns on the surfaces.
Propelling You Forward
A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate provides a stiff and propulsive feel.
Speed for Miles
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got a little better. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before, giving you a springy, bouncy feel.
Stable Ready
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.
Feel the Breeze
Specifically selected Flyknit yarns and engineered zones in the forefoot bring a new level of performance to the Vaporfly. Ample breathability around the toes combined with soft, yet supportive yarns deliver our most customized upper for the Vaporfly. The result is a softer, cooler design that conforms to your foot.
What's New About the Vaporfly 3?
An updated thin outsole rubber uses less material without sacrificing durability, which helps reduce outsole weight and thickness. This allows for extra millimeters of ZoomX foam underfoot and a smoother transition through your stride.
