Catch ‘em if you can. The Nike Vaporfly 3 is made for the chasers, the racers, the elevated pacers who can’t turn down the thrill of the pursuit. Nike 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.
Product Highlights
- 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, Nike 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? Nike 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 Nike's 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.
- Light padding on the tongue helps reduce lace pressure at the top of your foot.
A new Waffle outsole pattern with perforations saves weight and delivers multi-surface traction in various weather conditions.
