Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite 2017

the competition




missing is the hoka carbon x which i sort of want to try

everyone else can put a plate on their shoes but can they put air pods or regular air on theirs?


also touching up on adidas' lack of effort, how is skechers killing you in the running game or any sports really...?

To be fair, sketchers doesn't have any shame and their game is to copy what others have been doing (which in of itself is fine given that if it makes it so people who can afford sketchers and like them can run in something sorta similar that makes sense) but I honestly feel like adidas has to be careful because they know if they suddenly come up with a vaporfly clone they would get absolutely slammed /clowned by everyone because they're really the only high profile shoe brand up there with Nike so they have to come up with something different enough that it doesn't look bad.

I know its not essential but I kinda wish they had some zoom air in this lmao

Are those ZOOMX Racers with or without a CF plate?

Wonder why the swap to a composite plate for the everyday training shoes.

I went through a period where I was only wearing plated shoes (Zoom Fly 3 , Zoom Fly Flyknit, Vaporfly Next%) and didn’t mix it up at all with any other shoes.

Felt abnormally sore or just “different” for a bit but found it went away after throwing in some non-plated shoes.

I think theyll do what they did with the ZF series to the Tempo Next% series with the plates. The pilot shoe will have a plate in it but not fully CF. The next generation of the Tempo Next% will have a CF plate.

the composite is for a softer ride and so you can run longer and farther i guess, its also why it has a thicker midsole since its not legal anyways

this is also why i feel the pegasus turbo is a key shoe in their line-up, a lot here got pains and issues when simply training/running in plated shoes, the turbos give you a break from that while still retaining the zoomx


then again nike probably heard those complaints and made the plates softer along with more midsole to prevent such injuries and it can become the pegturbo replacement?

looks like adidas finally adds a plate to their shoe

its just so... plain, mediocre in design, it already looks 10 years old

Funny you mention Adidas. Going with the comment above yours about how four or five years ago not nearly as many were wearing Nike. The last Adidas shoes where I've owned more than one pair was the Boston 3. I loved that shoe. Then the owner of my local running store got the Zoom Elite 4 into my head. I didn't buy a pair of the 4s, but did buy a pair of the 5s when they came out. From that moment, I was a total Zoom Elite convert. The Zoom Elite 9 may be the best shoe ever for me. The Zoom Streak (the 6 and 7) during that period was the perfect racing companion to the Elite. The OG 4% was too wide in the forefoot (and noisy!) for me, but the 4%FK was perfect. The Next% is even better. I miss the Zoom Elite, but I'm hopeful for the next Peg. I hope the rumors are true of it being more like the Elite than any previous Peg. And the newly announced shoes take all of this yet another level. It's going to be an interesting next few months!

they just might since NBs has a racing flat with a plate on deck, this ones supposedly $200 though




and it looks like its gon' be raining running shoes with cf plates in the coming weeks so it complies via world athletics rules

I know this is Niketalk but I’m really interested in the TCs.

Ran/run in the Fuelcell Rebels and enjoyed them.

^ ^ ^

reviewers are saying its a disapointment as a race day shoes because its too heavy but great as a daily trainer thought too much for $200 when it compares to ZFs that retailed at $160, i think most of the reviewers in the link below thought its more of a cheaper alternative to the VFs initially

I won't be surprised Nike will start putting zoom pods on most of their shoes. I wonder if the midsole is react. Otherwise, that J pair might be similar to SuperRep.

Looking forward to copping more VFNs on the LOW-LOW with the AFs and Tempos releasing!

Nothing wrong with that. I have the SuperRep and they are comfy.

I'm assuming you mean the alphafly and the tempo?

I think its likely they'll make up to size 15 in the Tempo but for the alphafly its really anybody's guess. All of the VF had a weird thing where some colorways had size 14 and 15 but others didn't.

honestly, i don't know. just in the last few weeks found these shoes.

can't find a marathon (guessing that is VF) in a size 14 anywhere. i noticed they said they were making a training model of it so I'm interested in that. when do both come out?

Training version is the Tempo Next% and it's out Summer 2020. No date yet. Alphafly is coming out for Nike Members Feb 29 (probably very limited) and then the general release sometime later not sure yet when.
