A dedicated road race-day shoe positioned squarely for 10K through marathon distances. Nike trimmed weight across the midsole, outsole and upper versus the Vaporfly 3, and users echo a light, airy, propulsive ride. It's a specialized racer, not a daily trainer, and the fit runs small so sizing up is essential.
Light and airy with notable bounce and propulsion; one user reported significant squeaking.
Runs small; Nike and multiple users recommend ordering a half to a full size up (one user needed 9.5 for a normal 8.5).
Road racers wanting a lightweight carbon-plated shoe for 10K to marathon efforts and fast tempo work.
You need a daily trainer, easy-run cushioning, stability, or trail/technical traction.
