Lean, Light and Built for 26.2

The men's Vaporfly 4 is Nike's lighter, lower-profile racer. Nike trimmed weight from the upper, foam and outsole versus the Vaporfly 3, bringing it to about 6.7 oz in a men's 10.

It also sits on a steeper carbon FlyPlate with a lower 6mm drop, which gives it a quick, rolling feel at race pace. For runners who want a fast, minimal shoe from the 5K up to the marathon, it's a strong pick.

The Technology

ZoomX Foam
Light, springy cushioning with a bit less foam than the Vaporfly 3.

Steeper Carbon FlyPlate
A full-length plate set at a higher angle for a propulsive toe-off.

Thinner Rubber Outsole
Less rubber to save weight while keeping grip.

Engineered Mesh Upper
A lighter upper with a slimmer heel and tongue for a consistent fit.

Who This Shoe Is For

• Men chasing a PR from the 10K to the marathon
• Racers who like a lighter, lower-drop super shoe
• Vaporfly fans who want the latest version
