Nike Running has unveiled the VaporFly 3, which will release in March in the โPrototypeโ colorway.
After the success of the VaporFly 2, the new Nike Vaporfly 3 is an all-around racing shoe that can help runners cover any distance. Some of the highlights include a smoother transition, improved stability and more energy return in the Vaporfly 3โs lightweight design. The new design details include a reductive ZoomX midsole geometry and Flyknit yarn upper.
โThe Prototype colorway of the Vaporfly 3 is again a nod to our development process, where athlete and every day runner feedback critically informs and guides our innovation journey from start to finish,โย says Elliott Heath, Nike Runningย Senior Footwear Product Manager.ย
Several design features in the modelโs first colorway pay tribute to the Nike Running teamโs development journey. Graphic text on the midsole nods to the number of Flyknit upper iterations the team tested (57) and a dedicated weartesterโs identification number (20126-23). The iconic drop Swoosh against the all-white silhouette pays homage to the first-ever Vaporfly worn at a Breaking 2 test event in 2017.
