US’ Nike has launched the new Nike Vaporfly 3 running shoes, updated with refinement and improvement to make the leader of the supershoe pack faster. Building on learnings from the Nike Vaporfly 2, the new Vaporfly’s refined design meets the needs of distance runners, including a smoother transition, improved stability and more energy return. 

The engine of the Vaporfly 3 remains the same, with the propulsive feel runners love from the pairing of a full-length carbon fibre Flyplate and ZoomX midsole. The Vaporfly 3’s reductive midsole geometry features a convex shape around the forefoot, providing a comfortable and stable ride throughout your transition with Nike’s most resilient foam, the company said in a media statement.

Several design features in the model’s first colourway pay tribute to the Nike Running team’s development journey. Graphic text on the midsole nods to the number of Flyknit upper iterations the team tested (57) and a dedicated weartester’s identification number (20126-23). The iconic drop Swoosh against the all-white silhouette pays homage to the first-ever Vaporfly worn at a Breaking 2 test event in 2017.

“The Prototype colourway of the Vaporfly 3 is again a nod to our development process, where athlete and every day runner feedback critically informs and guides our innovation journey from start to finish,” Elliott Heath, Nike Running senior footwear product manager, said.
