Nike Vaporfly 4 Light Trails

Nike Vaporfly 4 Light Trails

The Nike Vaporfly 4 Light Trails is built for runners who chase the last light. The Light Trails colorway captures that specific moment — dusk on a road, reflective details catching what little light remains, a super shoe that performs as well after dark as in full daylight.

This is the Vaporfly 4 for athletes who squeeze sessions into every available hour. Reflective elements that match the intensity of their schedule.

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.
