These are the best race shoes. I have 3 pairs. Not really sure why people are using them for walking/fashion but to each their own. My OG pair have been so great on the road. I have hit about 60 miles with them using them for speed work and prepping for my second half marathon. They are feather lightweight - like the heaviness of a sock but super durable on gravel and pavement. The carbon fiber plate gives you just the right amount of propelling towards your next step and they are ridiculously fast. They position your foot just perfectly to help you with form. The Vaporfly has a fair amount of stack height but not too much where you feel off balance. They are easy to get in and out of and the mesh allows for great air flow keeping your feet cool and dry.

They won't go the same distance as a regular running shoe like a pegasus but they are an excellent option for race day and race prepping. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

I was excited when I got these as I’ve heard so many things about the first style when Kipchoge ran in them and I’ve been eager to try them ever sense. Straight out of the box they are very lightweight, you almost think that the box is empty. When you put them on, the back heel can be a tad bit tight to pull on, but after a few wears it gets easier to put on. They fit perfectly, but because of this and especially if you are opting to wear socks that tend to be a tad bit thicker, I’d recommend going up half a size. When I put on the shoe and stood up, it felt like I was walking on clouds. I liked the bounce feedback that the show gives when walking and running.

My favorite parts of the shoe are the padded heel in the back (which may explain the tightness putting it on) and the reinforced plastic liner on the bottom towards the toe box. When running in this shoe, you can feel a huge difference compared to other shoes. It doesn’t feel heavy or like you’re being weighed down and makes your strides feel that much easier. I wasn’t able to run outside in these, but when I wore them walking around they do tend to feel a little bit slicker than most shoes, so I’d be cautious when running in rainy/slick conditions. I ran with these on the treadmill and it felt amazing. I didn’t feel any feedback going through my legs or on my knees, as it feels like your running on clouds. Double plus since you’re already on the treadmill. Overall a really good shoe, especially of running longer distances. I would just be careful running outdoors id the weather isn’t in your favor.

After receiving the pair of shoes and opening the box I noticed the very bright and highlighted colors which benefit me as they provide others awareness that I’m around them when I’m running. Also, while grabbing the box and once I took them outside the box I noticed how light they were! I did not think that they would provide much support due to how light the shoes were. But, I was wrong. I run a lot before work and these shoes did the job for me. It took a few days for them to break in and feel like they are connected with my feet. I had to adjust to the heel of the shoe and the tallness of the shoe that’s why it took longer than usual. But once they adapted to my foot it was seamless and I felt like my performance was greater each use.

But once they adapted to my foot it was seamless and I felt like my performance was greater each use. The overall design of the shoe was perfect simply because of the purpose it was made for. It has breathable material to keep your feet cool, they were light for running, and they had a thicker midsole for impact. They did this all while making it an attractive shoe. I will say I would not be able to wear these shoes all day because of how narrow they are for me. It was a little uncomfortable for me because I have wide feet but for those that have narrow or normal feet this would be an amazing all day shoe that provides style, comfort, and confidence. I had a lot of confidence in the shoe because after analyzing the materials and the design I trusted how it was created. After wearing them for a weeks they still have a ton of life left and show very little wear aside from the creases on the heel that are there to help reduce the impact when I land. The shoes are a bit long but that wasn’t a problem as my foot was secure and it didn’t move while running. If there was one thing I would change about the shoe it would be to provide a tad bit thicker laces for durability and also to reduce the tallness of the heel a little bit as I feel it may be a tad bit unnecessary. But, my favorite part of the shoe was definitely the midsole, weight and breathable material. It is the reason why my performance was continuously getting better. I look forward to continuing to wear them!

Gotta look fast to run fast, and these shoes look fasssst! The bright neon hits on the front and midsole shape makes you wanna go, and I couldn't wait to get them out of the box and hit the road running.Fit: Very lightweight and snug across the mid foot (fyi: these might be tight if you're a wide footer). The heel pocket is perfect for me and everything just feels good with almost no break in period. Midsole is crazy cushy and you can feel the support / power transfer of the carbon plate. The upper is lightweight and semi see through, so a great breezy summer running shoe, not so good for cold / wet weather. Laces tighten everything up and stay tied well.Function: My average run is 4-5k, 2-3 times per week. Love the way these feel under foot.

The carbon plate technology is for real and I feel like it takes a couple seconds off my average pace. Maybe it's in my head, but whatever, it works! Midsole is soft and bouncy. I'm a mid foot / forefoot strike runner, and these are perfect for that. If you are a heel strike runner, the heel on these may be a bit soft for extended use. Also, the black rubber outsole only covers the mid / forefoot, so I worry about wear on the heel over time.Bottom Line: Love these and may have to get another pair. Unsure about durability as I just got them, but will keep an eye on how the lightweight upper and outsole wear in over time. Great shoe that just makes you want to head out for a run!
The Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next% 2 is one of the more unique runners I have ever put on my feet. From the futuristic design of the shoe down to the smallest details including the braided laces, this shoe showcases how Nike truly took every single detail into account to make it the highest quality runner on the market. As a runner, one of my personal favorite pieces of this shoe is the raised back pointed heel of the midsole. The way the soft foam cushioned Zoomx midsole was created forces without hesitation for my foot to roll into a perfectly balanced stride through the ball of my foot step after step. It has made a huge difference for outdoor running specifically. The combination of the shoes light weight along with how it tends to fit like a glove provides a natural ... MoreThe Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next% 2 is one of the more unique runners I have ever put on my feet.

It has made a huge difference for outdoor running specifically. The combination of the shoes light weight along with how it tends to fit like a glove provides a natural feel that anyone would appreciate. My one complaint about the shoe is more of a personal preference in appearance. While the soft knit woven material of the shoe provides a nice and breathable approach, I prefer a firmer material that does not bend and crinkle so much as I feel it takes away from the show stopper appearance of the shoe. Overall this is truly the best runner I have put on my feet to date. Nike has shined once again with this work of art and I do personally plan to have more of these on my feet in the future!
These are my second pair of the Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next% 2 and they're definitely the lightest shoes I have every tried.They are incredibly responsive, and have a fantastic spring that propels you forward. I run long distance, and quite often, and they have quickly become a favorite companion.I got the yellow model last year, but I must confess that the green/blue neon model I got this time is by far my favorite. It's upbeat, and really cheers me up when I'm about to lace up for a run.The upper part is a mesh-like material, so keep that in mind if you tend to run in colder or wetter climates (I am in California, so cold and rain are not my main factors when picking a shoe).These shoes are *light*, which means they are great for travel.

They have the ZoomX sole, which is light but really helps with cushioning and relieving pressure during long runs.The one callout is that they run small, as they have a cushion pad in the back of the shoe. I would highly recommend trying them on as you may need to go half a size or a full size up on these ones.
The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% 2 is a solid performing running shoe! Not only does it look amazing in the Coconut Milk/Ghost Green/Mint Foam/Cave Purple colorway, but the materials feel really good on foot. The mesh fabric upper is super breathable and you can actually feel the airflow going through the toebox as you run. I found the ZoomX foam cushioning to be more soft and shock absorbing than responsive or bouncy, but the shoe is still very stable and feeling like overpronating to the point of rolling an ankle will not be an issue. My favorite parts of this shoe are the traction, asymmetrical lacing, and padding around the heel. This is a comfortable running shoe that would best be suited for someone running a 5K, 10K, or half marathon.

This shoe has a feeling as if you are tipping forward over your toes as soon as you begin to take a step, which is great for running but may not be everyone's cup of tea for casual wear. One other thing to note is the narrow midfoot makes transitioning from a heel strike to the forefoot a little disconnected.
First off, I was extremely excited when these shoes arrived. I have been wanting to try them out since the Next % 1.I’ll get into the looks and design later but before I move on I have to say this shoe is sooooo cool looking!!!! Ahem!… now back to sounding professional.When I first saw and grabbed the shoe in hand I thought I was going to have a rough time breaking it in since I’m a wide footer and these Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next% 2 Look narrow. Plus, the upper felt intimidatingly tough. However, I was pleasantly surprised that they are wide foot friendly in the toe box which allowed me to be able to splay my toes in a more natural manner than most shoes. With the upper material, the mix of thin and minimal, but super tough build gave a nice mix that lets it ... MoreFirst off, I was extremely excited when these shoes arrived.

However, I was pleasantly surprised that they are wide foot friendly in the toe box which allowed me to be able to splay my toes in a more natural manner than most shoes. With the upper material, the mix of thin and minimal, but super tough build gave a nice mix that lets it conform to my foot shape and also keep it contained.Now back to the looks and design. I mean… just look at it.! It’s like it wants to go fast. There’s no mistaking that the shoe screams performance with it’s looks. I got multiple compliments and made for a few conversation starters. From the sleekness of the shape to the slipstream contour, these Vaporfly remind me of ads for supercars where they have one in a wind tunnel to show that the design was shaped to cut through air and reduce drag. All to help you be faster. You know… SCIENCE!!Now, onto the good stuff. The first time I put them on kinda shocked me. I play basketball, like A LOT! So I know bouncy shoes and let me tell you the first steps left me looking down to check that I didn’t have my hoop shoes on. Cause these Vaporflys are bounce-alicious. Immediately I felt how the Zoomx returned every bit of energy I gave it. Step in comfort was impressive even through my custom orthotics.My first run was on a treadmill. For a little backstory, I have been recovering from a very severe ankle injury for a little over a year so running has been tricky at times. Also, being in the military I’m currently completing a cross country move for a change of commands so it had been a minute since I had run. From start to finish I had a dumbfounded look in my face because I could not believe how easy and fast I was running. Effortless and best of all painless. The shape of the forefoot automatically puts in a correct running position to propel you forward and the Zoomx together with the carbon fiber plate makes you leap with every step. The run felt so good that after doing 3 miles in the treadmill I went for a one mile extra credit on the road to compare and if anything the road felt even better.I’ve actually been using them as a daily shoe for the last couple of days since I’m unpacking from the move and they have kept my feet feeling pain free and energized.Pros and Cons:Pros: The cushioning hands down. Not that anything else was bad it’s just that the cushioning and tech are out of this world good.Cons: The stability on turns could be better. Now don’t get me wrong it was nothing egregious but, the stability in the corners is when you could feel where the Zoomx met its match. Not a big deal for most but in my case having multiple ankle injuries it can be unsettling when you feel instability, specially if you’re trying go for an aggressive run time.Overall I can not say enough good things about these Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next% 2.
Some context about myself: I run ~10 to 40 miles a week and have been doing so for the last 3 years. I’ve done a few half marathons and a handful of 10k’s and 5k’s. By no means am I a super serious runner, but I enjoy the feeling after runs and the self-competition aspect.The first thing I noticed with these shoes is how light they are. Just picking them up out of the box, it almost doesn’t seem possible that they could be as light as they are and hold up. I’ve only ran in them ~5 times, so we’ll see how they hold up but so far so good.Once on your feet, you can immediately tell these running shoes are quite comfortable with high amount of padding in the soles. Once I started my first run in them, I immediately noticed that the shoes are unbelievably springy. ... MoreSome context about myself: I run ~10 to 40 miles a week and have been doing so for the last 3 years.

Once I started my first run in them, I immediately noticed that the shoes are unbelievably springy. Not even 100 meters into my first run in them, I could immediately notice a positive difference compared to other running shoes I’ve ran in. You just feel like you have more POP when your feet hit the ground and push off.One downside is the shoes are pretty narrow. Coupled with the sole padding, it can be a slight adjustment to get used to. I definitely wouldn’t lift weights or play other sports in them, but that’s to be expected since they’re running shoes. There’s also heal padding on the shoes that at first seemed a bit awkward, but I quickly got used to (and is frankly necessary).One sneaky thing I love about these shoes is the laces. It’s a small thing, but these shoelaces are unique, look kinda cool, and are the right length…fantastic laces.Without a doubt, these are the best running shoes I’ve ever owned or ran in. Shockingly light, super springy, and overall just make you feel fast on runs. They definitely seemed geared more towards racing shoes, but I feel like average and serious runners will love these shoes like I do. Top notch!
The Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next% 2 has to be one of the best running shoes out right now. I was a little skeptical of them because they do look a little different from running shoes I've used in the past, but I'm glad I tried them. The foam and cushioning underfoot is unmatched and you can actually feel the bounce and energy return on each step, I was thoroughly surprised with how comfortable they are. The design is very lightweight and very breathable as the upper is made from a structured mesh.They do run a bit narrow so you may want to order a half size up if you have a wider foot. They may feel a little different on foot at first because of the extra cushioning (especially around the arch and ball of your foot) depending on running shoes you've used in the past, ... MoreThe Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next% 2 has to be one of the best running shoes out right now.

I have been enjoying their comfort and sleek design and am looking forward to hopefully many more miles in them.
