Mens ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 ‘Eliud Kipchoge’ – Vapor Green/Black-Dragon Red

Celebrating the momentous achievements of Kenyan runner and Nike ambassador Eliud Kipchoge, this limited edition release brings storytelling to Nike’s running range. The red fade on the midsole replicates the iconic red dirt which so many African runners know all too well, filling the air and staining everything as they log countless training miles.

With the success of Nike‘s Vaporfly series the current iteration is about evolution – building off the race-proven success of previous versions.

The waffle rubber outsole has been thinned out, allowing a few millimetres of extra ZoomX foam whilst maintaining the 39mm stack height. Along with additional foam under-foot, the heel is expanded laterally to increase stability and allow more weight to be transferred to the outside of the foot. Buried within the midsole, the full-length carbon Flyplate gives the same stiff and propulsive feel which so many runners love about the Vaporfly.

A tweaked Flyknit weave on the upper sees specifically selected Flyknit yarns and engineered zones in the forefoot bring a new level of performance. There’s breathability around the toes combined with soft, yet supportive yarns deliver the most customised Vaporfly upper we’ve seen yet.
