Nike Vaporfly 4

The Nike Vaporfly 4 is a streamlined supershoe built for runners who want a sharp, aggressive race-day feel without extra bulk. It refines the Vaporfly formula with a lighter, more energetic ZoomX midsole and an updated carbon-fiber FlyPlate setup that feels snappier as you push the pace. Compared to earlier versions, the fit feels more dialed-in and consistent, helping you stay locked over the foam when you’re cornering, surging, or closing hard. It’s an ideal choice for fast 5K through marathon efforts, especially for efficient, stable strides.

Highlights

• Updated Nike ZoomX foam saves weight and boosts energy return by trimming excess material
• Curved, full-length carbon-fiber FlyPlate with a higher angle for a stronger propulsive “springboard” feel
• Engineered mesh upper improves comfort and fit consistency while keeping the shoe race-light
• Reduced heel and tongue bulk to cut weight and create a more disappearing feel on foot
• Sculpted heel-side midsole geometry helps keep the ride more stable without losing speed
• Thinner, blown-rubber outsole balances traction, durability, and smooth road transitions
• Tuned for faster paces with a nimble, responsive ride that rewards quick turnover
