User Review Summary
The Vaporfly NEXT% 4 is Nike's latest carbon-plated racing shoe, designed to be "lighter, more stable, and closer to the ground." The midsole stack height is reduced from 40mm to 35mm, with a 6mm drop for better ground feel and stability. It features upgraded ZoomX foam and a higher-angle full-length carbon fiber Flyplate for enhanced propulsion. The upper is made of lighter Flyknit yarn for breathability and a snug fit. The raised heel midsole design reduces medial foot load for improved stability. The outsole rubber is thinner to save weight. Excels especially in 5K~10K distances.
