Awesome clip @kofuzi! Much appreciated for featuring me as your charity runner of the week!!

[@kofuzi]

It is the least I can do

[@lazyhusband]

kofuzi is a class act!

[@overlit5597]

Makes you wonder. They obviously test the crap out of these at Nike. How do they send a tester out for one or two runs, he comes back after 20 miles and the react foam is SHREDDED. And they say "eh good enough ship it at $250"

[@ashhoushmand]

It's more to do with product testing and seeing that maybe out of the 100 runners they brought out to test it, 5 or 6 of them had this issue. If they were going to change the design then that pushes them back and then have to test again, rinse and repeat. if 5 out of 100 runners have this issue, it's good enough for a V1. Alongside if the issue is only cosmetic and not performance, it's not as big of a deal. For V2 though, as seen here, they improved on it and fixed an issue than was known.

[@kofuzi]

I think to go back at the time of the release of v1, they were thinking that, to the extent it's a cosmetic issue, people might deal with it for the sake of the performance. Also, their product testers might not have encountered this issue as they likely had better running mechanics than me.

[@caseyf3790]

React foam??

[@mechadriver5088]

So, I have gotten use to this issue with both the VF FK and ZF FK. For individuals that drag their heels (on the edge of the outsole), the individual "pods" of hard rubber don't protect the foam enough. It doesn't look very pleasing from a cosmetic perspective, but unclear it if significantly impacts normal life expediency of the shoe. I use shoo-goo across all my shoes to help (not just these Nikes).

I haven't tried UB19, and after holding them in hand (they are heavy!) and after running in the Adios 4 (where less Boost was better), I'm less inclined to try them. But after your comment, maybe if a Parley Edition pops up, I will give it a try

Great video on the comparisons

[@kofuzi]

thank you so much. i felt like there was a lot of pressure due to the caliber of these shoes

[@dalecorbett8910]

Kofuzi. The seam that you see on the midsole of each of the shoes is actually the seam where they've put the carbon fibre plate they give you basically two layers of zoom X so one actually attached to the upper then they have one With the carbon plate inside and then fuse them together. I wouldn't advise it but if you pull/push with your thumb just below the seem at the heel it will eventually separate and reveal where the carbon plate is.

[@CarlosStorms]

I'd love to see that plate, maybe one of the VPs might get the Peg35 treatment with a kitchen knife?

[@mechadriver5088]

@@CarlosStorms dezeen has a posted video (looks like a Nike video) of VP going over the NEXT% with what looks like the carbon plate.

[@lenyahoo]

First, appreciate your "disclosures" at the start of your videos (and I'm not even a lawyer). Regarding the 4%'s/Next, my Zoom Fly Flyknits wear in the same place (outer heel quadrant). A question: Is the black sole material on the 4% flyknit the same material as the surrounding white material? I had made the presumption that the black was a layer of carbon black rubber, which whilst heavier I think would be more durable than straight Zoom X. If it's purely cosmetic, and the materials are the same, then I'm indifferent, but if it is carbon black rubber then it would make sense for Nike to extend it out to the edge in that specific section of sole. Just my thoughts. Thanks.

[@kofuzi]

The black part is rubber

[@lenyahoo]

kofuzi yes, you mention the heel rubber on the Next is Zoom X - colored, ie white. That’s a nice move. They look like a great fast shoe. Congrats and good luck racing in them!

[@jkhoudini]

I put a sticky back felt strip (available at any hardware store) in the heel cup of the 4% flyknit. It’s basically the same as the new collar in the next%. It’s improved the fit for me in the heel a lot.

[@kofuzi]

no chafing?

[@mechadriver5088]

That is an interesting idea. I may have to try it.

[@jkhoudini]

@@kofuzi Nope, its pretty soft felt.

[@JasonTreu]

I agree version 1 is more cushioned feel than the Flyknit. I could tell the difference in the marathon. Debating which one to go with in June. Was on a plane and couldn’t login to get the Next version so I’ll have to wait until they go on sale again.

[@kofuzi]

i'm glad i'm not the only one who feels the difference

[@slodogg]

I'm surprised you have heel / lockdown issues in the flyknit. I think the whole shoe is tight everywhere on its own. I literally barely tie mine. Same with Zoom Fly Flyknit as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mechadriver5088]

I have lockdown issues in the VF also (but I run 1/2 size up). I have similar issues with the ZF (run TTS) but not as bad. I find that sizing/allowance for stretching is critical with the flyknit shoes or I have lockdown/overtight lacing issues. Even when I do get the shoe dialed without heel lift, corners/turns still feel unstable.

[@kofuzi]

i don't really even tie my flyknit (vaporfly or zoomfly). but the heel still feels a bit loose when walking around or when not running.

[@AGC828]

Terrific video showcasing the 3 variants. Would have loved to see Nike keep the wider heel of the Vaporfly 1 on the Next%2 or Next$ 1. For those wanting a little more stablity when cornering or just for heel-strikers (which most runners should be IMHO). And bring back the outsole rubber on the Vaporfly 1....I'd assumge having traction on the heel would benebit..."more traction " rather. And why Nike hasnt talked to any of hte tire companies (as Adias has with Continental) Im not sure. Why not talk to a company like Pierelli or Yokohama, Michelein, Goodyear.....how better to add that extra feture that really might make a differene in performance and sales. The tire used on a Porsche 911....on a Nike "race shoe"....Partner with Porsche and the tire company they are using....create an ad.....Porsche 911 next to Eliud Kipchogi in Vaporfly Next$ 3's feturing Pierelli outside...."Who will win?" :) I mean if the tire compound can help a 3000 plus pound car accelerate to 60MPH in 3.2s and stop it .... Nike needs to start nnovating the midsole/outsole.....and plate placement....Asics is doing more "thinking" iti seems with their Metaspeed shoes. They're just not yet finding their way onto the feet of the top elite runners yet (beccause they're locked in with Nike....perhaps their contracts are about to end?)....

growth has been surprising

[@sparkey998]

I think the seam you mentioned comes from the carbon plate within the midsole. When you look at the schematics for the carbon plate that Nike drew up you can see that the it follows the seam in the midsole.

[@kofuzi]

the seam i was thinking of, and i apologize that my hand gestures aren't very precise, was the apparent seam on the part where the midsole foam becomes the outsole foam. it's right along that point where a lot of the cosmetic wear seems to appear

[@EnvyTraxus]

[@kofuzi]

[@GT-kx6hm]

Great review! So, how many miles do you think the Vaporflys are good for? I've read many online evals saying 100 miles or so, but it's not clear if this is from the soles being scuffed/torn/shredded, or from the cushioning going dead (my typical reason for retiring shoes at about 300 mi). I have about 150 mi on the 4% and can't tell the difference in the cushioning or bounce much at all compared to a new pair (I know... I bought into the hype). And other Nike shoes w the same (?) ZoomX last 300+ miles? Next time I run and see a puddle, I will splash in it ... even if I'm in Vaporflys.

[@kofuzi]

i don't know. but i'll be investigating this summer. if the shoe still feels good to you, i would continue to run in it. i think it's too easy to conflate numbers (in this case, mileage) with a specific conclusion or result. mileage is just a reference point.

[@antondcmd]

[@kofuzi]

i appreciate the vote of confidence!

[@stephenrobinson4449]

Just did a run yesterday in Next % so no have run in all three. Original version I found the upper not supportive enough in the forefoot that resulted in my foot moving around a lot. The Flyknit version was definitely a lot better for me in that area. The Next % upper seems ok on an initial run but I am concerned it will also stretch out and make the forefoot less controlled. I didn't notice. difference between the ZoomX on the Original vs the Flyknit versions. Next % is obviously different. I am a mid to forefoot striker hence the emphasis on forefoot snugness of the upper. Been running in Nikes since late 70's my favourite trainer / racer shoes must still be the Vortex and Air Edge - the original versions , full air soles , US made.

Hi Dude. So sorry to bother you but I know you run and use Nike shoes and wasn’t sure who else I could ask about your recommendation on correct shoe size. For example, the Nike next%, is your toe supposed to be at the very very front of the shoe with very little space (not crunched up but tight fitting) or is the front of the shoe supposed to be a fingers width space at the front? I’d really appreciate your advice on this. Thank you

[@kofuzi]

i don't really subscribe to the finger width rule for sizing. i go with the same size in the vaporfly shoes that i go with all Nike shoes

Is the wear on the bottom of the Next % any better? I absolutely love the run in the VF 4% FK but I don't want to have to spend $250 every 100 miles for it. Any thoughts?

i think one is enough. i'd like to run in these.

[@Deadbuck73]

Nike’s marketing is confusing...which % is it?

[@kofuzi]

Some people will say that next percent is like a 5%. But I'd say that the number of 4% is one of those numbers where digital precision is but an illusion and a poor prognosticator of one's potential experience. Kind of like heel drop. How I look at it is that I'd easily pick the Next % over a 4%

[@TheGreatEscape1982xxx]

Nike Zoom Vaporfly Next % or Nike Vaporfly Flyknit 4% for marathon race your suggestion?

[@kofuzi]

Next

[@yichenjiang4001]

Got that

[@kofuzi]

yo

[@ALCblackout24HD]

Wide footers they are not TRUE to size for y’all. Go half size up for y’all. 11.5 fit me great (usually wear an 11)

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for the tip!

[@lucasxliu]

Wait what camera does he use is it like a drone?

[@ybezsonov]

Do they have same size? In my case v1 is 42.5 and FlyKnit is 43, like other shoes. I'm curious which size should I use for Next% in case if I decide to buy it :)

[@ybezsonov]

By the way, I also like v1 a little more than FlyKnit.

Nike is geared toward consumers thinking brand wil make you run faster. I ran in a Saucony & destroyed 80% of the 5K runners & I only trained for 3 months as a non-runner.

[@kofuzi]

on the other hand, people with natural gifts tend to underestimate how blessed they are.

I hope the outsole design on the next is data and performance driven, because boy its ugly. thankfully I don't run fast enough to be worried about buying a pair.

[@kofuzi]

it's peculiar

[@hugoagudo4282]

Could be a zoom foam thing. My 8 month old Pegasus turbos feel squishier than my brand new ones.

[@kofuzi]

interesting.

[@JasonTreu]

I think the earlier versions of Peg Turbo were more squishy feeling. It’s stiffer in the newer ones.
