The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly 3 Black Metallic Gold Grain is a sneaker designed with a ZoomX+ midsole for stability and energy return. This iteration of the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly 3 is constructed with a white FlyKnit upper for breathability. Black mesh with wide holes covers the upper, giving the shoe a grainy look. The Nike Swoosh appears across both sides in a gray color, while “FLYKNIT appears in small white text near the top of the laces. The tongue contains Nike Vaporfly branding. The thick rubber sole appears in beige under the forefoot and contains ZoomX branding on the lateral side. The white sole underneath the heel has a unique chunky look, jutting out past the heel. This part of the sole also contains a small Nike Swoosh in black. What we like best about this shoe is the unique and chunky look of the rubber sole and outsole, which also gives the shoe its functionality.
Catch ’em if you can. Giving you race-day speed to conquer any distance, the Nike Vaporfly 3 is made for the chasers, the racers and the elevated pacers who can’t turn down the thrill of the pursuit. We reworked the leader of the super shoe pack and tuned the engine underneath to help you chase personal bests from a 10K to marathon. From elite runners to those new to racing, this versatile road-racing workhorse is for those who see speed as a gateway to more miles and more seemingly uncatchable highs.
Propelling you forwards
A full-length carbon fibre flyplate provides a stiff and propulsive feel.
Speed for miles
Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam, just got a little better. Running from heel to toe, it unlocks even more energy return than before, giving you a springy, bouncy feel.
Stable ride
See how the midsole bulges out by the heel? We designed it that way to help reduce weight on the inside of the foot to give you a more stable ride.
Feel the breeze
Specifically selected Flyknit yarns and engineered zones in the forefoot bring a new level of performance to the Vaporfly. Ample breathability around the toes combined with soft, yet supportive yarns deliver our most customised upper for the Vaporfly. The result is a softer, cooler design that contours to your foot.
What’s new about the Vaporfly 3?
An updated thin outsole rubber uses less material without sacrificing durability, which helps reduce outsole weight and thickness. This allows for extra millimetres of ZoomX foam underfoot and a smoother transition through your stride.
More benefits
Light padding on the tongue helps reduce lace pressure at the top of your foot.
A new Waffle outsole pattern with perforations saves weight and delivers multi-surface traction in various weather conditions.
Offset heel seam helps reduce friction in the heel area.
