I'm pretty sure the shoes in Hasay's photo are a Streak 6 upper with a VF midsole. From what I've heard on other message boards, it's a custom/prototype shoe for her, and not a public release.

I think the Vaporfly is a different story though, yes it's a racing shoes but there aren't some flats for sprints that not many would buy.
They put a lot into the marketing of this shoes, more so in a racing model in recent memory so I figure they want to sell as much as they want.
They made this as appealing to the public as possible and probably got people to buy these shoes and maybe try and run farther than they usually do.
And they actually are selling out unlike their other racers which is an accomplishment after their huge marketing push so I wouldn't say this is Nike typical racer shoes, not just in terms of performance but all the other ancillary things involved.
But really, this release has been a mess since the beginning with practically the first two colorways release getting pushed back 2-3 months.
The only thing I could think of is that the Vaporfly 4% is their marketing tool to promote and sell their other running shoes like Zoomfly and upcoming Pegasus Turbo, pretty much to say:
"hey, look at the Zoomfly, they look like the Vaporfly's that almost broke the 2hr marathon mark"
"hey, look at the Pegasus Turbo, it uses the ZoomX used in the Vaporfly's that almost broke the 2hr marathon mark"
I think the marketing side of this has been really spot on....I think the durability of the shoe is what is in question....Im in NYC...and with the exception of the Nike Running Store in Flatiron and the one on the UPE...no other Nike outlets got this shoe.I think the Vaporfly is a different story though, yes it's a racing shoes but there aren't some flats for sprints that not many would buy.

Its
I currently only use the 4% on long runs or race day....I use the ZF and Epics for training....Now if they dont last past 100 miles....Id have an issue with paying $250 for a shoe that last such a short distance....
says global release 2/23/18

who knows
^^ Is it me or Solebox cannot tell the difference between Vapor Street and Vapor Elite.
and react
i just noticed they called it: NIKE React Vaporfly Elite
but what if the streets does have react instead of zoomx?
that would be very interesting but chances are it's just their mistake
not sure if posted but Solebox has the VaporStreetFlyknit countdown that ends in 6 days: https://www.solebox.com/en/Footwear/Fashion/React-Vaporfly-Elite.html
We need specs ASAP! lol
Ray, you should get the Vapor Street Flyknits, and then get the sole swap to happen with the ZoomX midsole from the Vaporfly
Flyknit x reactWe need specs ASAP! lol
