Womens Nike Vaporfly 4 Keely Hodgkinson

So light that it almost disappears on the feet, just pure race day magic! Nike's best-selling road racing shoe, the Vaporfly 4, has been fine-tuned to become its lightest version.

With precise adjustments to the design, Nike has succeeded in reducing the overall weight while maintaining top performance. Nike strategically constructed ZoomX foam with less midsole stack height to reduce the weight. The carbon Flyplate has been adjusted to a steeper angle for more aggressive propulsion. This combination offers incredible energy return, more ground connection, and a bouncy and snappy sensation.

The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 4 is perfect for experienced runners seeking for the lightest and propulsive shoe to maximise their performance in distances ranging from 5k to marathons.
