Nike Vaporfly 4 Jakob Ingebrigtsen Sail Gold – Racing

Jakob Ingebrigtsen doesn't talk about records — he runs them. The Nike Vaporfly 4 Jakob Ingebrigtsen Sail Gold – Racing is his racing Vaporfly, designed with the Norwegian who redefined middle-distance running. ZoomX foam and a full-length carbon plate, in the signature colorway of a runner who made 3:43 look routine.

This is the Vaporfly 4 at the intersection of road and track — the platform chosen by the athlete who trains across both disciplines and races in both.

ZoomX + Carbon Plate: The Racing Standard

ZoomX foam delivers 85% energy return — more than any other Nike compound — on a PEBA base that is lighter than EVA and more responsive over marathon distance. The full-length carbon fiber plate stiffens at mid-stance, storing and releasing energy at toe-off with consistent mechanical efficiency from kilometer 1 to kilometer 42.

Flyknit upper: lightweight, adaptive fit. 198 g. 8 mm drop. 38 mm heel stack. Fast enough for 5K, durable enough for marathon — the most versatile racing shoe in the Nike lineup.

Who it's for

For competitive runners from 5K to marathon. Best for athletes with race-shoe experience targeting personal bests at any distance.
