Details & care
Engineered to maximize speed and minimize weight, this game-changing running shoe sits on layers of springy technology to propel you to new personal records.
Perfect for: Runners looking for turbocharged speed with minimal weight to power through 10Ks, marathons and beyond while leaving old personal records in the dust.
Upper: Flyknit upper flexes and rebounds naturally with every stride. Targeted ventilation zones provide essential breathability when your intensity heats up. Asymmetric lacing creates a biometric fit that eliminates the weight of an internal arch band. Wider toe box allows for natural splaying on long runs.

Bulging under the heel promotes a stable ride. Ultrathin rubber tread provides multisurface traction with minimal added weight.

Extremely small form
My wife bought these shoes to run a half marathon in Brazil and simply won't be able to wear them because they're too small and tight compared to other Nike shoes she already wears for running.
She was very upset because they're expensive and now they'll be sitting around the house, impossible for her to wear without hurting her feet.
They would have been a good purchase otherwise, as she likes the boost they provide, as well as their light weight.

Soles fall apart
Have had these for only 2 months and the soles are already separating and peeling off. There’s maybe 13 total miles on these shoes. I’ve owned plenty of running shoes from other brands and have never had these issues

I wish…
I want to love these shoes, they check all the boxes, but unfortunately I got injured training for and running a marathon, and I couldn’t run for 6 months! Maybe is me. But they are not super stable and your heel will not land straight on the ground.

Size up!
These are great shoes but I would recommend even sizing up a whole size! I’m a size 8 and I typically wear the Pegasus 41 a half size up comfortably so I thought and 8.5 would work for these too, but it was too small for me. The toe box is narrower!

Great race shoes but not durable at all
I’m a long time runner and usually go for Nike gear. I’ve had a few models of the vaporflys now, which are great shoes to PR in a long race like half or full marathon. However, the foam on the bottom rips so easy! Literally just fell apart taking off my shoes after a run. Has happened to 2 pairs now and pretty common from what other runners have told me.
