The WMNS Nike Vaporfly 4 “Keely Hodgkinson” celebrates one of Britain’s brightest middle-distance stars with a race-day trainer that reflects her drive for gold. Handpicked by Keely herself, this special edition pairs high-performance running technology with striking details inspired by her competitive spirit and personal style.
The colour scheme revolves around shimmering black tones and multiple shades of gold, a direct reference to the medals that continue to fuel her ambitions. A Keely-exclusive print across the upper adds a personal touch, giving the shoe a distinct identity that separates it from standard Vaporfly releases. It feels premium yet purposeful.
Performance remains at the centre of the design. The engineered mesh upper is lighter than previous versions and offers a secure, consistent fit that disappears on foot. Underneath, Nike’s ZoomX foam has been refined and reduced slightly in volume, making it lighter while delivering even greater energy return. The result is a soft, bouncy ride that feels fast and efficient over longer distances.
Nike has also trimmed weight from the outsole by using a thinner rubber construction. Combined with a full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate set at a steeper angle and a lower heel-to-toe drop, the shoe creates a more propulsive sensation that encourages forward momentum during races and interval sessions.
