Yahoo News Quick, the new look Nike Vaporfly Next% are here and they are still in stock online
If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on a pair of the Nike Vaporfly Next%, we’ve got good news - today, Nike have released a new colourway of their sought after running shoes, and they still have sizes in stock.
The shoes recently avoided the World Athletics ban, and remain eligible at all levels of competition as the stack height of its heel is approximately 40mm, with a 32mm forefoot stack height and an average of 36mm.
Eliud Kipchoge wore these shoes when he set a course record at the London Marathon in April. The Next% is seen as the update to the Vaporfly 4% that Nike launched to such acclaim last year. The shoe is so named because the brand claims it improves your running economy even more, by five per cent.
It’s an unusual-looking shoe, with asymmetric lacing to reduce pressure on the top of the foot and improve fit, and it has a large, extremely cushioned heel section that tapers to a point. Nike has added 15 per cent more of its premium ZoomX midsole foam, which is durable and light. This, along with the carbon plate that runs the length of the shoe, gave a ride of such bounce and energy return that at first we struggled to control it, rather like a Formula One car being driven by a learner.
At the beginning of February, Nike announced the launch of the Alphafly Next % - the shoes worn by Kipchoge when he ran his sub-2 marathon last October. These are thought to be on sale later in the year.
