Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next 3% Olive Aura

Olive Aura is a muted take on the Vaporfly, a soft green upper that looks closer to a trainer than a racing flat until you pick it up. The weight tells the truth quickly. ZoomX foam fills the midsole, a carbon plate runs its full length, and the outsole rubber is placed only where runners actually wear through it.

This generation is noticeably more stable than the one before, with a broader forefoot that helps on bends and in crowded starts. Runners tend to reach for it when they want a racer that feels nimble rather than towering. It suits everything from a fast 10k to a marathon on smooth road surfaces. It is a racer first, so treat the foam as something worth protecting between events.
