Nike ZoomX midsole foam has seen a boost, running the the full length of the foot, returning more energy than ever before. Within the midsole is a full-length carbon-fiber flyplate, increasing overall responsiveness and adding a propulsive sensation to each stride. You’ll notice a responsive and bouncy feel as soon as you lace-up, daring you to push the pace this time around.
Around the heel you can see a slight bulge, helping to add a little more stability while shaving a little weight in other places. Up top is the Flyknit yarn upper, crafted with engineered zones for enhanced fit, breathability, and performance. The soft feel mixed with high-performance material makes this one of the most personal-fitting Vaporfly to date.
