Vaporfly NEXT% 2

Racing2021-03-02 · JP · AnnouncedChecked 2026-10-10

Vaporfly NEXT% 2 is a road racer for 5Ks through marathons. It replaces the original Vaporweave upper with softer, breathable engineered mesh, adding tongue padding and forefoot reinforcement for fit and durability. The sole system is retained: full-length ZoomX, a carbon plate and a broad forefoot platform. Deep grooves in the rubber outsole extend toward the heel to support varied road-race conditions.
