The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 is designed for runners who want to get the most out of their training and competitions. Besides being a successful marathon shoe, the ZoomX Vaporfly Next% is also ideal for longer runs at a higher pace. Designed for peak performance in every race, this competition shoe accelerates you to victory! 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 The upper of the shoe is made of Flyknit, a material that uses a weaving technique to provide support. Outsole The rubber outsole has a waffle pattern, which provides grip on both dry and wet surfaces. Flex grooves provide extra flexibility and ensure a smooth roll-off of the forefoot. Designed with maximum grip, optimal cushioning and lightweight technology, the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 helps you get closer to the finish line with every step.
