The outsole went from a similar model and build to the VaporFly 4% to that of the VaporFly Next%.Ī groove runs down the center of the foot from the middle of the foot to the heel which increases some, read very little, lateral flexibility. Under the foot the responsiveness of the plate makes up for the rigidity. The carbon fiber plate makes for a very rigid sole, especially in your hands.

With these changes the shoe still features a full length carbon plate and React foam for a responsive, forward moving feel. Additionally the heel-toe offset was lowered from 10mm to 8mm, a lower drop for Nike shoes. This additional foam and stack of the Zoom Fly accounts for the added weight given that the upper seems to be lighter. First, there is more React foam with a higher stack height of the shoe. The midsole of the Zoom Fly 3 underwent some small changes from the Zoom Fly Flyknit. This could be due to having more of the cushioning however. The Zoom Fly 3 continues to include a carbon fiber plate and React foam, however comparing the React foam in a pair of Nike Air Zoom Vomero 14s to the React foam in the Zoom Fly 3, React in the Zoom Fly feels softer. The third version, being tested here and now, the Zoom Fly 3 made minor changes to the midsole, completely changed the outsole of the shoe and a complete overhaul of the upper to a new VaporWeave material with an internal bootie wrapping the foot. The second version of the Zoom Fly, the Zoom Fly Flyknit, changed the plate to carbon fiber like the one found in the higher end models, updated Lunarlon to React foam, and changed the upper to a flyknit material. The first Zoom Fly included a plastic plate, Lunarlon foam, and a FlyMesh upper. Just as the high-end models have changed through the past few years, the Zoom Fly continues to evolve and adapt. The Zoom Fly itself is clearly the “affordable” version of the VaporFly Elite, 4%, and now Next% series.
