Nike Running serves the future of the sport by designing for all runners — including those who want to push their personal bests to new levels. Enter the Nike Vaporfly 3 Sneaker, updated with continued refinement and improvement to make the leader of the super shoe pack even faster.

Building on learnings from the Nike Vaporfly 2, Nike designers focused on refining the Vaporfly’s lightweight design with improvements to meet the timeless needs of distance runners, including a smoother transition, improved stability and more energy return. The engine of the Nike Vaporfly 3 Sneaker remains the same, with the propulsive feel runners love from the pairing of a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate and ZoomX midsole. The Vaporfly 3’s reductive midsole geometry features a convex shape around the forefoot, providing a comfortable and stable ride throughout your transition with Nike’s most resilient foam.

Several design features in the model’s first colorway pay tribute to the Nike Running team’s development journey. Graphic text on the midsole nods to the number of Flyknit upper iterations the team tested (57) and a dedicated wear tester’s 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.
