So light it feels like pure race-day instinct. The Nike ZoomX Vaporfly 4 Renegade pushes Nike’s iconic racer into a bold new territory—combining elite performance with a disruptive “Renegade” design built to stand out on the start line and beyond.

Refined to be lighter and more aggressive, the Vaporfly 4 features a reworked ZoomX midsole with a slightly reduced stack height to enhance ground feel and efficiency. The updated carbon Flyplate sits at a steeper angle, delivering a sharper, more propulsive toe-off that helps you maintain speed over long distances. This balance of reduced weight, improved geometry, and explosive energy return creates a fast, controlled ride that excels from 5K to marathon.

The Renegade edition brings a unique aesthetic inspired by experimental running culture, without compromising the performance DNA that made the Vaporfly a benchmark in racing. It’s built for runners who want speed, precision, and a standout look on race day.
