Vaporfly 4 "Jacob Ingebrigtsen" NIKE

Subtly ingenious, the Vaporfly 4 reflects Jakob Ingebrigtsen's style and focuses on what matters most: family and a taste for victory. We've lightened the previous version without compromising on performance. With its carbon fibre Flyplate and ultra-reactive ZoomX foam midsole, it has everything it takes to move up a gear. The result? A running shoe Jakob can rely on for all distances.

Behind the Design

Jakob's favourite colours and repeated lines refer to his mind. His tattoos and gold rings inspired the bright details. The stars on the insole are a nod to his family and Nordic origins.

Full speed

Full-length carbon fibre Flyplate with a higher angle than that of the Vaporfly 3. The drop from heel to toe is also smaller. This shoe provides an exceptional feeling of propulsion on race day.

Lighter foam

We've lightened the Nike ZoomX, our most responsive foam. From heel to toe, it provides better energy return thanks to a slightly reduced midsole, for greater responsiveness and lightness.

Lighter upper

The woven mesh reduces the weight of the shoe while providing a more even fit. We've also reduced the size of the heel and tongue for even greater lightness.
