Nike just leveled up two of its most popular road running shoes. The latest iteration of the Vaporfly and Streakfly are both powered by Nike’s innovative ‘system of speed’: a proprietary combination of ZoomX foam and a carbon fiber Flyplate that helps runners achieve maximum propulsion. The Vaporfly 4 is the lightest model in the franchise’s storied history and the most versatile Nike racing model on the market. It sets the standard for distances ranging from the 5K to the marathon.
The Streakfly 2 is designed to deliver the raw speed and responsive cushioning need to take on the competition in a mile, 5k or 10k race. Built on a track spike shoe last, this runner has an aggressive new shape with a 4mm heel-to-toe offset – allowing athletes to more easily run on their forefoot. The full-length Flyplate is a first in the Streakfly line and similar to that of the Vaporfly 4. A redesigned centered lace system and slight elasticity in the new laces allows athletes to dial in a more custom fit, while a new engineered mesh upper increases comfort, breathability and fit consistency while cutting down on weight.
The Vaporfly 4 and Streakfly 2 will be available at nike.com in March.
