TLDR: The Nike Vaporfly 4 ‘Silt Red’ is an ultra-lightweight competition shoe for marathon runners. It features a full-length carbon fibre flyplate and a responsive ZoomX midsole. It will be available on 14 August 2025 for €260. It takes racing performance to a new level by reducing weight while maximising propulsion and energy return. The redesigned carbon fibre Flyplate has a higher angle than the Vaporfly 3, providing even more propulsion on race day. The midsole is made of a lighter version of ZoomX foam that runs from heel to toe for a springy ride.
The specially designed mesh upper offers breathable comfort and a secure fit, while reduced heel and tongue areas further reduce weight. Thinner rubber on the outsole provides further weight savings without compromising grip or durability. Weighing only approx. 152 g (size 39) and with a 6 mm drop, the shoe is a real tool for achieving personal bests.
When is the Nike Vaporfly 4 ‘Silt Red’ being released?
It will be released on 14 August 2025, just in time for the late summer and autumn marathon season. With a price tag of €260, it is at the top end of the market, but offers uncompromising racing technology. Those who liked its predecessor will feel even more efficiency here thanks to the lighter construction and optimised proportions.
Where can I buy the Nike Vaporfly 4 ‘Silt Red’?
