Nike Zoom Fly 4

A new update of the Nike Zoom Fly 4 has been long awaited by many Nike fans, that concept of mixed shoe elevated to the maximum power with the inclusion of an innovative carbon fibre plate for fast and intense workouts, as well as to compete over all kinds of distances.

Synonymous with dynamism and propulsion, these Nike Zoom Fly 4 running shoes present their main upgrades in their upper, while the midsole and outsole continue to opt for the same winning combination of React foam, and the carbon plate to maintain that design exclusively for speed.

Without forgetting that detail in favor of the Nike Zoom Fly saga as one of the most affordable options with a price among the best running shoes with carbon fiber plate.

Nike Zoom Fly 4: most outstanding new features

As we mentioned before, this fourth edition of the Nike Zoom Fly comes with a total redesign of the upper. The product developers of the Oregon-based brand have opted to replace the transparent VaporWeave fabric with a technical engineered mesh with Flyknit fabric. This change in the upper means a softer and more comfortable feel, but also maximum breathability. In addition, this Flyknit technology implements all that webbing of lighter and more resistant fibres, and that are noticeable in these Nike Zoom Fly 4 with a higher degree of support in the midfoot area. In fact, in this midfoot and heel area, and welded to the midsole, there is a plastic reinforcement that offers a greater degree of stability.

Of course, it is this sock-like fit that improves the adaptation of the shoe to the foot, making it more snug, and increasing the feeling of comfort and security in each step. All this serves to lighten the weight of the model, thus enhancing the purpose of running fast.

Emphasizing the section of security, the inner buttress of these Nike Zoom Fly 4 to keep the foot in the place that corresponds to it, and thus reduce overloads in a critical point: the heel.

Main features: Nike Zoom Fly 4

Things do not change in the midsole area with the combination of the carbon fibre plate and the ultra-light and very resistant React foam, which gives a more agile and faster feel, so that the runner is able to maintain a good pace.

The aerodynamic aspect is very similar to the concept presented by the flagship Nike Pegasus 38 training shoes with a more curved toe area, which not only provides that "racing" effect, but also contributes to better propulsion. The heel also retains that curvature in order to reduce tension and stress in the Achilles tendon.

As in the Nike Zoom Fly 3, this new revision of this top speed mixed shoe from the North American brand also features a high abrasion resistant compound, maintaining reinforcement in the areas most exposed to wear.

All in all, tweaks and improvements reduced to the upper of the Nike Zoom Fly 4 to improve performance for a running shoe designed to propel the runner forward and improve personal bests in both quality training and competition.
