Nike's new ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% sneakers finally arrive after the highly anticipated model made its informational debut. The sneaker model was worn by the World Marathon Major winners last year to strengthen the foundation of the model as well.
In terms of the exterior design, the uppers are complete in a vibrant green colorway along with a sunset Swoosh branding across the front on the toe box. The uppers are constructed from a lightweight and water-repelling fabric material called the 'Vaporweave.' The ZoomX foam unit delivers a strong energy return with its full-length incorporation, which reduces the offset from 11mm to 8mm for maximized stability. There is also a strong traction system for better grip throughout different weather conditions. The ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% runners are now available for purchase online at Nike.
