The Nike Vaporfly was the original super-shoe and it remains one of the best carbon plate running shoes. The Nike Vaporfly NEXT% 2 is the shoe I see worn most often by other runners during road races of any distance, and it’s the yardstick by which every other carbon shoe is measured. Or at least it was.
Now the Nike Vaporfly 3 has been released, I expect it to supersede the Vaporfly 2 and become the top dog. For the most part, the changes to the shoe appear minimal but they are significant in improving the ride. The Vaporfly 3 is the best version of the shoe yet.
