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 most often on the feet of 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, because now the Nike Vaporfly 3 has been released I expect it to supersede the Vaporfly 2 and become the new top dog. For the most part, the changes to the shoe are minimal, but after two runs in the new Vaporfly I’m sold on the idea it’s the best Vaporfly yet.
