Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 4 Keely Hodgkinson Women's Running Shoes

Handpicked and approved by the record-smashing powerhouse, the Vaporfly 4 Keely Hodgkinson brings a fierce colourway to her go-to interval trainer. Different shades of gold nod to her medal-chasing drive. This ultralightweight pair delivers a golden touch and a more propulsive feel than the Vaporfly 3.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Utilising the lightest technologies Nike has to offer, the upper on the Vaporfly 4 proves to be ultra-lightweight. This offers improved comfort and a barely-there feel, minimising any distraction from irritation during vital races. The improved Vaporfly features great breathability to keep you feeling fresh for extended periods, with air circulation maximised by perforations within the upper that allow warm air to escape as the foot flexes. Weight has been shaved, reducing the tongue and heel, making them faster than their predecessors. The flat-laying tongue and collar further minimise irritation for the ankle, whilst the traditional lacing system ensures the midfoot is locked down for a secure fit all the way up to the finish line. A heel tab finishes the upper, allowing for quick slip-on assistance. Winning gold is what fuels Keely Hodgkinson. That's why her collection features different shades throughout. A Keely-only print on the upper pairs with shimmering black details to embody her style and motivation. A gold charm detaches for custom styling.

ZoomX Midsole

Showcasing their most lightweight and responsive foam, the Vaporfly 4 unlocks even more energy return than before. With outstanding shock absorption, ZoomX foam has a forgiving feel for rearfoot landings and long-haul efforts. Springy foam helps maximise speed, dampening impact and turning it into energy to propel you towards your next PB. By reducing the size from its predecessor, Nike shaves grams off the Vaporfly 4 to create a weightless feel underfoot. Sandwiched between two layers of ZoomX foam is a full-length carbon-fibre Flyplate, sitting underfoot. This provides you with a snappy, propulsive race-day feel while giving you added stability over the miles. This enhances your performance, providing even more propulsion than before.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Further minimising bulk to keep weight to a minimum, the outsole on the Vaporfly 4 is as durable as the 3; however, with a thinner structure. This provides you with the same reliability expected from Nike's race-day shoes but at a lighter weight. Providing optimal grip and traction on roads, whether dry or rain-slicked, the durable outsole keeps you secure. Strategically placed across the forefoot and heel of the sole, the rubber compound offers a strong grip while protecting you from hard pavements. Proving to be a great, long-lasting shoe to get you where you ought to be.
