The patterned midsole gives this Nike Vaporfly 4 a different look from a plain foam racing shoe. Its Sail/Phantom/Light Boulder/University Red palette combines a pale mesh upper and cream laces with grey shading over the forefoot. A dark Swoosh stretches across the outer side, while red covers much of the forefoot rubber and sweeps along the sculpted midsole. The cutaway underneath exposes the black plate through the center of the sole.
This men’s road racer pairs full-length ZoomX foam with a carbon-fiber Flyplate and a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop. Compared with the Vaporfly 3, the fourth version uses thinner outsole rubber, smaller heel and tongue sections, and a higher plate angle. Those are construction changes specific to this generation. Its listed weight is approximately 190 grams in a men’s U.S. size 10, and the U.S. list price was $280 as of September 15, 2026.
