Description
The Nike Vaporfly 3 road racing sneakers are designed for athletes chasing personal bests from a 10K to marathon. They feature a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate for a stiff and propulsive feel, and Nike ZoomX foam for energy return. The midsole bulges out by the heel to help reduce weight and give a more stable ride. The sneakers are made with specifically selected Flyknit yarns and engineered zones in the forefoot for breathability and support. The updated thin outsole rubber uses less material without sacrificing durability, which helps reduce outsole weight and thickness. Light padding on the tongue helps reduce lace pressure. The waffle outsole pattern with perforations saves weight and delivers multisurface traction. The offset heel seam helps reduce friction in the heel area. The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm. The toe area is wider for a roomier fit. There is an internal foam pod at the heel for extra cushioning. The sneakers are low top and athletic.
