The Nike Vaporfly 4 Proto are running shoes for fast, lightweight athletes who want to achieve peak performance from 10k to marathon.
The engineered mesh upper is extremely breathable, wraps the foot like a sock and adapts to every movement to ensure exceptional comfort during the run. The ZoomX compound midsole is even lighter and more responsive, also thanks to the new Flyplate carbon fiber plate with an updated design that provides exceptional propulsion without sacrificing stability. The groove in the central part allows the compound to compress and expand strategically. The sole has a forefoot entirely in anti-abrasion rubber and with cleats that allow you to never lose grip with the ground and put even more energy into the take-off.
The Vaporfly 4 Proto is even lighter and faster, the ideal choice to unleash your full potential!

ZoomX
ZoomX foam guarantees the highest level reactive energy return among the actual Nike shoes in production today. The weight of ZoomX is lower than 1/3 with respect to the Cushlon foam in essence it has all the advantages in terms of maximum cushioning at a reduced weight.
A mix very similiar to the ZoomX was used predominantly in the aerospace industry, but for some time has this innovative technology has been found in high performance shoes.
The ZoomX foam sheets are made with autoclaves in extreme heat and pressure conditions: to obtain the final component of the midsole, the product is cut into predefined shapes and then inserted into compression molds.
