+ Expert opinion
With the VAPORFLY NEXT% 3, Nike has managed to optimize its lightweight carbon race model once again! The look makes a powerful impression, the design radiates pure dynamism, but no longer looks quite as aggressive as its predecessor. The workmanship is impeccable and the breathability is also first class.
The stability for midfoot and forefoot runners is absolutely in the green zone. Heel runners should look for more stable alternatives if necessary. In terms of dynamics, the VN3 is right at the forefront. The pleasantly soft and highly responsive ZoomX midsole, in combination with the curved FLYPLATE, generates great dynamics and a very progressive, accelerated roll-off behavior. The VAPORFLY drives runners to peak performance.
For the price, it is certainly one of the most interesting alternatives (for various types of runners) for all distances between 5km and 42km. In terms of grip, breathability and forefoot dynamics, it also outperforms its predecessors...
...a great racing shoe, a "real weapon" ...

+ Description
"Grab it when you can. The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 3 is designed for the
chasers, the racers and the pacers who can't resist the thrill of the chase.
The top of the super shoe pack is back, but even lighter, more stable and more
responsive than ever. The upper is redesigned and the engine underneath is
optimized and ready for those who see speed as an opportunity for more miles
and seemingly unreachable heights. Speed for every mile Nike ZoomX, our most
durable foam, just got a little better. As you roll from heel to toe, it allows
for even more energy return than before and reduces weight with a convex shape
on the inside of the foot for a more stable running experience. The full-length
carbon fiber plate provides a stiff, propulsive feel. Airy design Specially
selected Flyknit yarns in the forefoot give the Vaporfly a new level of
performance. Plenty of breathability in the toe box and soft, supportive yarns
provide our most customized upper ever for the Vaporfly. The result is a
softer, cooler design that conforms to your foot. Supple and stable Updated
thin rubber on the outsole is designed to use less material without sacrificing
durability. The result is a lighter weight and thinner outsole. The result is
extra millimeters of ZoomX foam underfoot and a smoother roll as you run.
Lightweight padding on the tongue reduces pressure from laces on the top of the
foot. The lacing is complemented by the lightweight side support. This
eliminates the need for an arch support strap. This allows the weight to be
reduced. Flex grooves on the sole improve traction on various surfaces in
diverse weather conditions. Offset heel seam reduces friction in the heel area.
More Details Wider toe box provides a roomier fit. Integrated foam cleat at the
heel for added cushioning." Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free

Nice responsive shoe
I was not sure about buying the vaporfly zoomX3 because I heard some runners claim the 2 is much better as it is harder. Some said the 3 was too soft. I found it great. I have so far done 1 speed session in the shoe. I ran 8x 1k and my feet were happy. I also ran a 16k race and it felt great. Responsive but not agressive. I think I will keep this shoe for longer races and only use the 2 for 5k and 10k races . Probably will eventually switch to zoom vaporfly3 for all races. Oh and the great thing about it is that it swerves well when you turn corners. Something the vaporfly 2 does not do well at all
