Womens Nike Vaporfly 4

Nike Vaporfly  4 – The Ultimate Racing Revolution

The Nike Vaporfly 4 is the lightest, fastest, and most innovative model in the Vaporfly franchise, designed to push the limits of racing performance. Built for all runners and inspired by world-class athletes like Joshua Cheptegei and Mohammed Ahmed, this carbon-plated road shoe is engineered to set the standard for distances ranging from 5K to the marathon. Whether you're chasing a personal best or competing at an elite level, the Vaporfly  4 delivers the ultimate combination of stability, propulsion, and energy return to elevate your race-day experience.

Lightweight Speed Like Never Before

The Vaporfly  4 introduces a featherweight design, making it approximately 10% lighter than the Vaporfly 3 and an impressive 20 grams lighter than the original Vaporfly (2017). This reduction in weight is achieved through a strategically designed midsole that eliminates unnecessary foam while preserving the shoe’s responsiveness and propulsion. The result is a fast, efficient ride that enables runners to maintain peak performance for longer distances.

Unmatched Propulsion & Energy Return

At the core of the Vaporfly  4’s race-ready design is its re-engineered Nike Flyplate curvature, which helps maximize leverage from the foot and ankle. This innovation works in tandem with Nike ZoomX foam, the brand’s lightest and most resilient midsole compound, to generate explosive energy return with every stride.

For athletes looking to push their limits, this dynamic combination ensures a smooth and responsive ride while helping to conserve energy over extended distances. Whether you're sprinting through a 5K or grinding through the final miles of a marathon, the Vaporfly 4 provides the forward momentum needed to perform at your best.

Balanced Stability & Comfort

Nike has fine-tuned the Vaporfly  4 to provide an optimal balance between the stability of the Vaporfly 3 and the soft, cushioned feel of its predecessors. The shoe’s updated midsole geometry and precision-engineered upper create a locked-in fit that enhances comfort, keeping your feet secure and supported without unnecessary bulk.

The new upper construction is designed for improved breathability and fit consistency, ensuring runners stay comfortable throughout the race. Whether you're an elite competitor or an everyday racer, the Vaporfly  4 adapts to your running style, making it one of the most versatile racing shoes in Nike’s lineup.

Designed for Peak Performance

Nike’s commitment to racing innovation is evident in every aspect of the Vaporfly  4’s design. The shoe’s precise weight distribution and streamlined silhouette help maintain efficiency while minimizing fatigue, allowing runners to sustain top speeds over long distances.

“The Vaporfly 4 is the ideal Vaporfly. Nike nailed it,” says Mohammed Ahmed, Canadian long-distance runner and Nike athlete. “It’s lighter, more responsive, and incredibly comfortable. The balance of carbon and foam in this shoe is perfect—it makes running fast feel effortless.”

A Legacy of Racing Excellence

The Nike Vaporfly  4 is more than just a shoe—it’s a continuation of the super shoe revolution that started eight years ago. With its cutting-edge technology and athlete-driven design, it reinforces Nike’s dominance in the racing world.

The Vaporfly’s influence extends across Nike’s racing lineup, inspiring models like the Streakfly 2, which is tailored for shorter races and speed training. Whether you’re preparing for a fast interval session or a record-breaking marathon, the Vaporfly Next% 4 is the ultimate tool to help you achieve peak performance.
