The Nike Vaporfly 4 “Chlorophyll” is built for runners who care about speed, feel, and confidence on race day. This update strips things back even further, refining what made the Vaporfly line so trusted over distance. Lighter on foot. Sharper through transitions. Ready for everything from short efforts to full marathons.
Visually, this pair stands out in a calm, grounded way. Chlorophyll green leads the upper, balanced by earthy hits of mink brown and burgundy ash. Off-noir details tighten the look, giving the shoe a focused, race-ready feel without going over the top. It’s bold, but controlled.
The engineered mesh upper feels airy and secure, keeping airflow steady while locking the foot in place. Weight has been trimmed across the upper, midsole, and outsole compared to the Vaporfly 3. You feel the difference early. Less bulk. Smoother turnover.
Underfoot, lighter ZoomX foam delivers a springy, responsive ride that stays consistent over long distances. A full-length carbon fibre Flyplate runs through the midsole, helping each stride roll forward with purpose. The sensation is quick and efficient, especially once you settle into pace.
The outsole keeps things minimal, focusing on grip where it matters most. It’s built for tarmac. Built for race conditions.
