Get ready for race day success in the Nike Vaporfly 3 EK.

The color design honors Eliud Kipchoge's tradition of having training partners plant trees at his camp. The sockliner mimics the growth of those branches while the midsole’s red clay color represents the Kenyan dirt that stains the shoes when training.

These carbon-plated speedsters are the pinnacle of race day shoes, giving you that edge to chase your personal best when you toe the start line. From 10K to a marathon, you’ll get to the finish line in a flash thanks to the full-length carbon plate and ZoomX foam that gives you ridiculous energy return and propulsion. Meanwhile, the Flyknit upper has plenty of breathability and support to keep you focused on your run.

Details

• Upper: Everything about the Vaporfly 3 is fine-tuned for success, including the upper. This lightweight upper has specifically selected Flyknit yarns with engineered zones to give you breathability and a soft, supportive design that conforms to your foot. A wider forefoot gives you a more accommodating fit, while light padding on the tongue reduces pressure from laces on the top of your foot.
• Midsole: A full-length carbon fiber plate gives you a propulsion system that will send you flying. The ZoomX midsole foam is super responsive with plenty of energy return for a springy, energetic ride. The geometry of the shoe reduces the weight on the inside of your foot to give you a stable ride when you are running as fast as you can.
• Outsole: A thin outsole rubber keeps the shoe lightweight and allows for more ZoomX foam underfoot. A new Waffle outsole pattern with perforations gives you multi-surface traction in wet road conditions.
