It retains the carbon fibre plate and ZoomX cushioning to help you achieve new goals and records. The shoe features an incredibly lightweight combination of ZoomX foam and a full-length carbon plate that propels you forward with every step. The redesigned upper uses targeted mesh for a more breathable, softer fit that conforms to your foot. An internal pod at the heel and light padding at the tongue provide extra comfort. The multisurface traction outsole is designed for various weather conditions, with flexibility grooves to improve traction and provide support where needed. Suitable for distances from 10k to a marathon, the ZoomX Vaporfly Next Percent 2 is designed to be the pinnacle of the sport, offering responsive cushioning and secure support for race day victory. Nike ZoomX foam delivers Nike Running's greatest energy return, while the full-length carbon fiber plate offers a responsive feel. Reinforcement along the forefoot enhances durability and secure comfort. An internal foam pod in the heel adds extra cushioning, and light padding on the tongue reduces lace pressure. Laces loop through lightweight side supports, eliminating the need for an arch band and reducing weight. A wider toe area provides a roomier fit.

The shoe's advanced design, including a carbon fiber plate and ZoomX foam, propels you forward with each stride.
