Nike Zoom Fly 3 Running Shoes

Inspired by the Vaporfly, the Nike Zoom Fly 3 gives distance runners race-day comfort and durability. The propulsive power of a carbon fiber plate keeps you in the running mile after mile.

Vaporweave Upper

Vaporweave uppers will encase each foot in streamlined comfort. The engineered woven mesh is light and breathable to ensure a secure, comfortable fit at all times. The minimalist mesh sits close to the foot to ensure a dynamic, lightweight fit that's ideal for racing whilst perforations within the fabric increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. A bootie construction is designed for easy entry and exceptional comfort; removing the need for a tongue, it swathes your foot in lightweight support and a seamless, sock-like fit - shrinking the risk of rubbing and blisters, because we know how those can ruin your day. Additionally, an inner sleeve and low collar construction conform to the shape of your foot for a fit ideal for racing. An arch band has been attached to the lacing system to help take the pressure off your instep whilst still providing a locked-down supportive fit. The lacing system ensures midfoot support so you can enjoy distraction-free strides

React Midsole

A full-length platform of React cushioning resides underfoot to deliver feathery durability plus smooth responsiveness. To produce this startlingly lightweight and springy midsole, crafted from synthetic rubber, Nike listened to the voice of the athlete. Their in-house sports research lab plugged footstrike data into a proprietary algorithm that determined how much cushioning was needed where. They simulated testing on approximately one hundred possible shoe geometries to quickly determine the handful they knew would work best for most runners and then merged the science with an elegant design, intended to feel like a slipper on a mattress. The reactive nature of this clever midsole material means it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Soft, generous and substantial, React will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infuse every stride with the kind of zealous power that is often elusive in the running world. In addition, a distinctive, aerodynamic heel is designed to delay air separation and reduce drag, tapering to banish every barrier between you and your top speed. Embedded within the generous React platform, and complimenting its responsive nature, is a full-length carbon fibre plate. This plate is the same plate used in the Vaporfly 4% and is intended to minimise energy loss during toe bend without increasing demand on the calf. It springs up under your heel as you stride forward, yielding the snappy, propulsive sensation that converts into extra-energised strides. The plate is curved at the front, helping give the runner back some of the energy they put in at toe-off. It's this fusion of two contrasting technologies - the React foam and the carbon plate - that results in the dynamic, power-infused Zoom Fly 3, one of the most efficient marathon and training shoes that Nike has ever sold.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Developed using a lightweight rubber outsole, the Zoom Fly 3 ensures extraordinary traction in varied conditions. The durable rubber provides a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. The rubber is placed on high wear areas such as the forefoot and heel to increase durability and resist the traumas of heel-strikes. Supplying you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. Flex grooves also feature on the outsole to enhance multi-surface traction ensuring confident footing whether you're training or out for 10k. The Zoom Fly 3 is for athletes who crave a shoe that's hard to run slow in, a shoe that allows you to maintain any given pace while using less energy, a shoe that delivers world-class performance. Lightweight and low-in profile Zoom Fly 3 ticks mile off with ease.
