The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 Prototype is an innovative and stylish long-distance running shoe designed to provide maximum energy return, lightweight performance, and enhanced speed through cutting-edge technology.

The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly features a predominantly white upper made from FlyKnit material which is both lightweight and breathable. The white extends to the midsole while the outsole has a colorful orange shade. The shoe also has a sleek and aerodynamic design with a chunky sole unit made from ZoomX foam which is known for its lightweight and responsive cushioning.

One thing our experts love about the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 Prototype is the sole unit which also has a carbon fiber plate and zoom air unit on top of the foam cushioning. The carbon fiber plate enhances energy efficiency by providing a spring-like effect with each step while the Zoom Air Unit provides additional cushioning and responsiveness. The shoes were initially released at the retail price of $250 in March 2023.
