Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%
Nike running shoes continue to dominate the field. With the re-engineering of its already-formidable marathon footwear, the ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% guarantees better responsiveness with each stride. After all, Nike enlisted the feedback of some of the world’s champion long-distance runners.
Being the second generation in Nike’s marathon-dominating footwear, Nike sought to improve not only the appearance of the shoe. It also retooled the midsole to ensure better comfort and enhanced responsiveness. It is both cushiony and springy, allowing runners to utilize the very same power generated by their strides.
The first generation of Zoom Vaporfly Nike sneakers improved running performance by at least 4 percent. The latest iteration guarantees better figures to help further improve running efficiency. On the track or on the road, the new Zoom will fly. It is a running shoe that gets you across the finish ribbon well ahead of everyone else.
Instead of using Nike’s signature Flyknit upper, the NEXT% uses Vaporweave. This absorbs less water, allowing it to stay dry and airy. Marathons take time to complete. With the Vaporweave forming the NEXT%’s upper, you can be sure your feet stay dry and comfy.
The NEXT%’s lacing system is also offset a bit so that it does not exert unnecessary pressure on the foot. There’s a foam pod that’s thick enough to support the heel. The ZoomX foam in the NEXT%’s midsole is also increased, allowing for more energy return.
The superior traction of the outsole comes with patterns that improve grip of the forefoot. It is remarkable in wet weather conditions. There are deep grooves that complement the contoured treads for smoother movement. Turning becomes more efficient and a lot safer for the marathoner.
Nike’s next generation of ZoomX Vaporfly revolutionizes the way marathoners speed to the finish line. It looks lovely on the feet, too.
