Nike’s hard-to-get running shoes have a cult following among sneaker nerds and marathon runners alike, and now you can grab yourself a pair in sweet new colors.
When Nike released its first generation of the Vaporfly 4% — with a promise to improve running economy by 4 percent — sneaker scientists rushed to the lab to put them to the test and studies found these kicks actually do make you run faster. You’ll want to secure a pair in this season’s hottest new colorway, Black/Crimson, at Eastbay stat.
Comfortable, lightweight fit and feel
Replacing the mesh in the original version, the latest version features a one-piece Flyknit upper that improves breathability in warm conditions, reduces irritation for longer runs, and provides support where you need it most — just like your best running buddy.
Superior stability
These running shoes have your foot on lockdown for a stable running platform with an internal archband that wraps around your midfoot, integrated laces, and an internal heel counter. The streamlined, racing fit profile is all-around snug and contoured.
Cutting-edge midsole
As the name suggests, the Nike ZoomX ultra-lightweight foam gives you that extra boost to go faster. The bouncy, super-responsive material plus an embedded, carbon-fiber plate offer impressive energy return with every stride and actually propels you forward.
Powerful outsole
Engineered to optimize traction, the outsole has a combination of lug shapes and sizes to make each step faster and more powerful than the last – kind of like hitting fast-forward on your feet.
