According to the godfather of modern running, Arthur Lydiard, “miles make champions.”
But a shoe like the Nike Vaporfly — now discounted up to 44 percent off — doesn’t hurt.
More than any other model, maybe ever, the original Vaporfly reshaped the footwear industry, ushering in an arms race for plated super shoes with top-of-the-line foams.
While today’s runners have no shortage of options to pick from, the Vaporfly is sill going strong.
Earlier this year, Nike released the lightest version yet, positioning the Vaporfly 4 as a middle-of-the-road racer for distances between the mile and the marathon.
That means it’s more versatile than both the Alphafly 3 and revamped Streakfly, with plenty of accolades at long distances, too:
In 2025 alone, the Vaporfly 4 made the podium of three World Marathon Majors, including Tokyo, Chicago and newly promoted Sydney.
At $270, the MSRP of the Vaporfly 4 matches other super shoes on the market. That said, Nike’s running not one but two sales on the model.
Already discounted to $203 in select colorways, the Vaporfly 4 drops to as little as $152 with the code BFRIDAY at checkout.
