This year, Nike is slowly bringing their latest midsole cushioning foam to all aspects of the Swoosh brand. Now, one of the first models to house it, the Nike React Vaporfly Elite, will debut next week in a new “Triple Black” color scheme.


Nike made headlines last year by crafting a shoe specifically to break the two-hour marathon barrier, a feat that had never been done. The shoe they created became widely known almost immediately. Utilizing a sleek and extremely slim Primeknit upper, the main attraction of the shoe was its super-thick sole. The midsole is constructed from the recently introduced React foam, a new cushioning technology that provides incredibly receptive energy return and comfort, while maintaining a stiff, supportive fit. The silhouette was imagined specifically for a long-distance runner, and then exclusively modified to fit the feet of Nike’s best runners. After coming ridiculously close to breaking the two hour mark, Nike shelved the silhouette for a few months, tweaking and reworking the design to fit a standard, everyday runner. The result is a beautiful running shoe built to push you farther, and faster. The thick React midsole provides boundless energy and an effortless step, while a carbon fiber plate inside helps retain the shape and flexes with your foot. The latest addition to the Nike React Vaporfly Elite lineup will be an all-black colorway, save for a lighter Swoosh taking up most of the lateral side.
