The Vaporfly series has always been a sort of pinnacle in the Nike series of shoes. It was even deemed too good as compared to other runners due to its outstanding performance, and represents refinement of existing technology to its maximum. It is a damn good running shoe, and one that can also double as a very comfortable walking shoe, should the exercise bug not hit you at all.
Of course, the Vaporfly Elite is out of reach for a majority of us, which lands us here, to the Vaporfly 4%. Still as good, and at a much more relatively affordable price. Previous 4%s were donned up in mesh paired to the Zoom X sole, but for purpose of decreasing weight and improving efficiency, Nike has decided to use the Flyknit instead of the mesh. Of course, to the casual runners, the difference may be negligible, but over the course of 26.2 miles, seconds can be shaved off the final time, and in any race, you need all the help you can get.
The silhouette also gets done up in red with a blue to red gradient near the lateral forefoot, complete with black laces and black swoosh.
The Nike Vaporfly 4% retails for RM 1025 and releases on the 30th of April at Nike.com. Time to up your running game.
