Nike keeps pushing its race-day lineup forward with the Vaporfly Next% 4 “Light Trails.” Built for serious runners and designed to stand out, this version captures the speed and energy of night races with a streaked upper that looks like motion frozen in time.
A multicolour print runs across the engineered mesh, giving the shoe the same visual blur you’d catch from long-exposure city lights. Nike contrasts the vibrant upper with a blackout ZoomX midsole, creating a sharp, aggressive look that’s ready to move. Every detail supports forward momentum, right down to the sculpted midsole geometry.
Underfoot, the Vaporfly 4 sticks to its trusted formula. ZoomX foam cushions every stride, while the full-length carbon Flyplate provides that quick, springy return that makes this silhouette so popular on race day. Nike cuts the heel-to-toe drop to 6mm by lowering the stack to 35mm in the heel and 29mm in the forefoot, giving runners a more stable, grounded ride. At around 190 grams in a UK men’s size 9, it also drops weight compared to the previous model.
The Vaporfly 4 “Light Trails” doesn’t just look fast—it runs fast. With bold graphics, lightweight performance, and trusted tech, it brings the energy whether you’re chasing a PB or lining up for your first race.
