Ordered these shoes having already owned multiple pairs of the previous Vaporfly 3, my previous favourite shoe. The Vaporfly 4 exceeded my expectations in every way. Faster, more comfortable and more stable. It’s also appears to be more solidly built than the previous generation which did wear quickly. First run and I shaved 30 secs per KM of my previous fastest 10k! 30! Do yourself a favour and buy these shoes :)

Men's Road Racing Shoes
Coming Soon
The Vaporfly 4 is a mile-eating machine that just got lighter. We trimmed weight with a carbon fiber Flyplate and ultra-responsive ZoomX foam midsole to give you race-day speed without sacrificing performance. The result is a fine-tuned racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.

Nike Vaporfly 4
The Vaporfly 4 is a mile-eating machine that just got lighter. We trimmed weight with a carbon fiber Flyplate and ultra-responsive ZoomX foam midsole to give you race-day speed without sacrificing performance. The result is a fine-tuned racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.
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.
Lighter Foam
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got lighter. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before thanks to a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy, feathery feel.
Less Weight
Engineered mesh on the upper offers improved lightweight comfort while supplying a more consistent fit. We reduced the size of the heel and tongue to save even more weight.
Light Feel
The midsole bulge at the heel helps reduce weight on the inside of the foot and give you a more stable ride. We reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared to the Vaporfly 3.
What's New About the Vaporfly 4?
We made minor tweaks so you can enjoy major gains. We trimmed inessential weight in the upper, midsole and outsole without sacrificing performance.

The best running shoe ever

I ended up with the vaporfly 4s after trying many hoka, brooks, and saucony. They all make great shoes. But these are the very best. Even compared to other Nikes super shoe offerings. These seem to be a culmination of technology and design that have created the ultimate super shoe. They are so light they feel like nothing in your feet. Very tactile. I can feel the ground unlike most carbon plate shoes. I feel so fast and secure in these shoes. Thank you Nike!

Awesome shoe! Super fast and aggressive. The fit is true to size and I was able to get a very secure fit with a heel lock lace tie. Seems like a true sequel to the Vaporfly 2 (and OG Vaporfly) vs the Vaporfly 3. Maybe not as “squishy” as the Alphafly 3, but folks who need the added stability might find that a positive! Overall amazing super shoe!
