The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 is a sleek and comfortable speed shoe designed to give runners an edge during training and racing. The ZoomX Vaporfly Next% is the perfect shoe for distances up to and including the marathon, but also for long endurance runs at a high pace. Accelerate to victory with this competition shoe, designed for top performance during every race! Midsole The ZoomX foam midsole makes the shoe feel lighter and more responsive. The shape of the foam provides support for the three phases of acceleration during your run. Flexibility as your foot lifts off the ground, softness as your foot moves forward, and cushioning as your foot hits the ground are all aspects of the midsole. The Flyplate, also called a carbon fiber plate, is located between the midsole. During your run it propels you forward and makes the shoes feel very responsive. Upper In the upper, the shoe has a Flyknit material made from strong, yet lightweight yarns. The midfoot is reinforced with a denser fabric, while the forefoot is flexible and breathable. Outsole Nike's iconic waffle pattern can be found in the rubber outsole. This pattern provides grip on both dry and wet surfaces. The forefoot has extra flexibility due to the flex grooves in the outsole, which ensures a smooth gait. You'll feel every step brings you closer to the finish in the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3, with maximum grip, optimal cushioning and a lightweight design.
