Nike takes a page from Colin Chapman's playbook—simplify, then add lightness—with the Vaporfly 4. The marathon-ready racer is newly reengineered with an updated carbon fiber Flyplate and featherweight ZoomX foam, delivering maximum propulsion with every stride. A steeper heel-to-toe drop pushes you forward, while trimmed weight in the midsole, upper, and outsole keeps the shoe fast without compromise. The result: the same cushioned ZoomX responsiveness at a fraction of the weight, built to carry you past the finish line strides ahead of the competition.
