Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% Ekiden M Review

About

Push the horizon 

Developed in collaboration with the best athletes in the world, Nike zoomx Vaporfly Next% Ekiden takes the runners to neutral feet beyond their limits during their workouts and competitions on road . 

A pillar of Japanese culture , the  Ekiden relay  represents the spirit of  solidarity instilled by sport  and demonstrates the  potential of each human being . The  colorway in  this version aims to celebrate this  world-famous event  and the  generations that embody the future of running .

Designed to meet the needs of runners, the new Vaporweave upper is ultra-light and breathable . Composed of woven mesh, it wicks away water and perspiration to stay dry  until the end of your effort .

With the addition of 15%  Nike ZoomX foam , you get exceptional energy return with every stride. Coupled with a carbon plate present over the entire length, it offers you a gain in dynamism that helps you panic the stopwatch!   

The new lacing system helps reduce pressure on the stroke of the foot to avoid an unpleasant feeling of compression, especially when the kilometers accumulated . 

On the outsole , feedback from legendary marathon runners like Eliud Kipchoge or Mo Farah has improved grip on wet surfaces by integrating deep grooves. Even in difficult conditions , your record is close at hand!
