Nike Vaporfly 3 – Latest
Nike has announced the third version of its Vaporfly marathon racing shoe via Runner’s World. The shoe is scheduled to go on sale in March 2023 for $250, but a select few athletes have tested it for several months. The Vaporfly 3 features an evolved design with lighter and more stable construction, and it uses the same ZoomX midsole, carbon-fibre Flyplate, Flyknit upper and lightweight rubber outsole as the previous versions.
However, this model has a cutout on the lateral sidewall and a small channel under the midfoot to reduce weight. The new design offers greater stability and a carbon-fibre plate is still part of the shoe.
Price: $250
Weight: 7 oz (men,10), 5.8 oz (women, 8)
Drop: 8 mm
Take out: It will still be awesome and equally as fast, perhaps even a tad faster due to weight savings.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
