The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 is designed for runners who want to get the most out of their training and competitions and want to cover many kilometers at a high pace. 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. Designed for peak performance in every race, this competition shoe accelerates you to victory! This product is part of a collection that Nike has specially designed for the Berlin Marathon. Midsole The ZoomX foam midsole makes the shoe feel lighter and responsive. The shape of the foam offers you support for the three phases of acceleration while running. Flexibility when your foot lifts off the ground, a smooth experience when your foot moves forward and cushioning when the foot hits the ground. The midsole also contains a Flyplate, also called a Carbon Fiber plate. This plate works like a kind of spring. It propels you forward as you walk and contributes to the very responsive feel of the shoes. Upper The upper of the shoe is made of Flyknit. This is a material that is based on a weaving technique and supports the necessary places. Thanks to the FlyEase technology, the shoe is extremely easy to put on and take off. You can open the shoe with a zipper on the heel and a strap over the top ensures a snug fit. Light textiles provide ventilation to keep you cool. The heel overlay provides support and stability during multi-directional twists. Wear sole The rubber outsole has Nike's iconic waffle pattern that provides grip on dry and wet surfaces. Flex grooves provide extra flexibility in the forefoot to aid in a smooth walk. With the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 you are ready to perform! Experience the perfect balance between speed, comfort and durability.
