The Nike ZoomX VaporFly Next% 3 “White Particle Grey” DV4130-100 is tailored for speed and efficiency, suitable for everything from 10K runs to marathons. It includes a full-length carbon fibre flyplate, providing a stiff, propulsive sensation to boost forward movement.
In the midsole, a unique bulge near the heel lightens the weight on the inside of the foot, enhancing stability. The shoe incorporates upgraded Nike ZoomX foam extending from heel to toe, delivering increased energy return and a springy feel.
The upper of the VaporFly 3 features Flyknit yarns with engineered zones in the forefoot, emphasising breathability and support. This design offers a fit that adapts to the foot, ensuring coolness and a secure feel.
Significant updates in the VaporFly 3 include a slimmer outsole rubber, reducing weight while maintaining durability. This modification makes room for more ZoomX foam, improving cushioning and smoothing stride transitions.
Additional attributes comprise light padding on the tongue to lessen lace pressure, a new waffle outsole pattern with perforations for versatile traction, and an offset heel seam to reduce friction in the heel. The shoe also has a wider toe area and an internal foam pod at the heel for better cushioning.
