Vaporfly 3

Racing2023-03-06 · Global · Online launchChecked 2026-10-08

Vaporfly 3 is a road racer for 10K through marathon distances. It retains the preceding Vaporfly's full-length carbon Flyplate and ZoomX, while reshaping the foam to reduce weight and refine transitions and stability. Thinner rubber with a perforated Waffle pattern makes room for more foam. Zoned Flyknit, a roomier forefoot and light tongue padding update the fit and reduce lace pressure.
