Nike Zoom X Vaporfly Next% 2 Men's Road Racing Shoes continue the next evolution of speed with a racing shoe made to help you chase new goals and records. The Nike Zoom X Vaporfly Next% 2 builds on the model racers everywhere love. It helps improve comfort and breathability with a redesigned upper. From a 10K to a marathon, the 2 still has the responsive cushioning and secure support to help push you towards your personal best. This electric design is inspired by the soul and rebellious spirit of Eugene, Tracktown Usa, where contenders from all over the world will descend to test themselves against the globe’s greatest athletes. Nike Zoom X foam delivers Nike Running’s greatest energy return yet. A full-length carbon fiber plate creates a responsive feel that keeps you moving through your stride. A redesigned upper uses mesh fabric placed in areas where you need breathability. The result is a softer, cooler design that conforms to your foot. The laces loop through lightweight side supports that eliminate the need for an arch band. This helps reduce the shoe's weight. Reinforcement along the forefoot provides extra durability and secure comfort. An internal foam pod at the heel gives you extra cushioning. Light padding on the tongue helps reduce lace pressure at the top of your foot. A wider toe area gives a roomier fit. Flexibility grooves on the sole give you multi-surface traction in a variety of weather conditions.
