Vaporfly Next Percent - First Run

Описание: Today, I went for my first run in the Nike Vaporfly Next %. This is a phenomenal shoe that simultenously is unlike anything I've ever run in while also feeling extremely familiar. There are notes from the Vaporfly v1,the Zoom Fly SP, and even Zoom Streak 7. The extra Zoom X is not just extra cushion, but it seems to provide an extra level of bounceback. The upper was comfortable and quick drying. And the outsole pattern was grippy and protected the foam in all the right places. To the extent I had any problems with prior Vaporfly, the Vaporfly Next solved them while also delivering a new level of performance that I was not expecting. It's simply spectacular.

Disclosures: this is a pair of shoes that I purchased with my own money. No one sent this shoe to me, nor is anyone paying me to make this video. As mentioned in the video, the socks I was wearing were provided by Nike last October for the Chicago Marathon. IN ADDITION: I realized while editing this video that the Apple Watch that I am wearing was also provided as a gift by Nike after the Chicago Marathon last October. My apologies for the omission.

FAQ: Yes, this is true to size. It is roomier than the Vaporfly Flyknit and very similar in fit to the Vaporfly v1. However, and this is the second glaring omission from this video, the toe box on my left foot felt a bit shallow, much like the problems I faced with the Pegasus 35 Turbo last year. I hope that this is an issue that will resolve over time, and I will update in a follow up video.

I'm looking to donate $70 to a different charity runner every week. If you are running for charity, let me know in a comment, message me, or send me an email. I'd love to donate $70 to your cause and spotlight you on the channel.
