Nike ZoomX VaporFly Next% 3 ‘Eliud Kipchoge’

The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly 3 EK Eliud Kipchoge Paris 5K is part of a collaboration between Nike and Eliud Kipchoge, a Kenyan distance runner known for his dedication to the sport. The shoe’s design was inspired by Eliud Kipchoge’s belief that there are no limitations. This can be seen in the shape of the sole, which reaches beyond the heel, and in the technology incorporated in the shoe. The midsole extends beyond the heel to reduce impact strain on the inside of the foot. On the other hand, the Nike ZoomX gives bouncy cushioning, while the flyplate made of carbon fiber provides a stiff base that propels the runner forward. The running shoe also boasts extra cushioning on the heel and seams that don’t rub on the foot.

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.
