Nike ZoomX VaporFly Next% 4 "Prototype" HF6413-100

Built for serious runners with a need for speed, the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% 4 “Prototype” strips things back to what matters—comfort, energy return, and no wasted weight. This debut colourway pays homage to the design stage, reflecting the raw, stripped-down aesthetic of Nike’s early samples.

A sail-coloured engineered mesh upper wraps the foot with a barely-there feel. It’s lighter than its predecessor and offers a more consistent fit from start to finish. Bold black Swooshes crash across the sides, nodding to classic prototype markings. Small touches of orange hit the heel and midsole, hinting at the inner workings of the full-length ZoomX setup beneath.

Underfoot, a 35mm stack height in the heel and 29mm in the forefoot keeps you grounded while delivering the signature bounce runners expect from ZoomX foam. A carbon fibre Flyplate adds snap and forward momentum, especially in the final stretch. The waffle-like outsole provides grip without adding bulk, helping shave off every second possible.

At around 190g (men’s UK 9), the Vaporfly 4 “Prototype” has been trimmed where it counts. From 5Ks to full marathons, this racer doesn’t mess about. Just lace up and chase that finish line.
