Ultralight design delivers a propulsive feel from a 10k to a marathon.

The Vaporfly 4 is a lean, mean, mile-eating machine. Nike trimmed weight in the midsole, outsole and upper from the Vaporfly 3 without sacrificing performance. The result is a lighter, more propulsive all-around racing shoe that’s trusted from the mile to the marathon.

Product Highlights

• Engineered mesh helps reduce the weight of the shoe while providing a more consistent fit. And Nike saved more weight by reducing the size of the heel and tongue.
  
• Nike ZoomX, Nike's most responsive foam, just got lighter. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before with a slight midsole reduction, giving you a bouncy feel.
  
• NIke reduced the weight of the outsole by using a thinner rubber compared to the Vaporfly 3.
  
• The full-length carbon fiber Flyplate sits at a higher angle compared to the plate in the Vaporfly 3. It combines with a lower heel-to-toe drop to give you a propulsive feel on race day.
