Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite 2017

Nike calls it "Taupe Grey"

not "Taupe/Grey"

does that make sense?

Wouldn't classify them as taupe grey either.

Fast squad. 3 SPs and a 4%

Anybody is experiencing heel slippage on the SP? I wear with no-show socks and it keeps pulling the socks down.

yeah the suede-like material on the back of the heel is really grippy
I have to tighten my laces and to stop it from slipping

No. They are a brownish colour (Which makes sense considering they are listed as Taupe) with a slight purple/violet hue to them, all depends on the light. Not really sure where Nike got grey from tbh.

The more I look at them the more they grow on me though lol.

you can see the midsole is grey when you put them beside the white/black

So that Grey/Crimson cw (or so I thought) is actually a shade of Purple, Provence Purple to be exact. :/ And they're a WMN's cw.

After a two week hiatus, I definitely didn’t expect to finish my straight 8miler with this average pace. These are truly game changers.

I think you said you got a smaller size and if had a choice you'd size up, did the sizing bother you or you think it made a difference?

 

[illustrayt]

I actually went +1/2 my usual size, and I think I made the right decision.

 

[rfx45]

ahh ok, I thought you went tts when you found your pair

good to see another believer

new ZF cw?

started to more consciously run as a forefoot striker for a week now and it's killing my calves and ankles, hoping my body adapts soon

Saw this black and white vapofly on Instagram

 

[rfx45]

been waiting for those ever since the blk/wht ZFs came out

some already have the crimson bright VFs too

Anyone in the larger sizes (sz 12, 13) tried sizing up a whole size since half sizes aren't really available? Is it too big or does it give that extra room these seem to need?

These look lovely!!! Can you compare the fit between these and the SP pairs?

Do these have padding in them or same build?

Thx

 

[rfx45]

upper is pretty much the same between the VF and SP except the VFs might be a little lighter, more pliable and more breathable (?)

as for fit, many suggest at least half a size up on both but I do think you could probably go a whole size up on the SPs, really depends how you prefer your shot fits when you run

Thx brotha!

Yeah I went a full size up on my SP's (half size sold out) and I'm very happy with em.

So basically same fit then?

Sweet! I'm always a sucker for crimson colorways

 

[rfx45]

I'd say just half a size up on the VFs

I have all 3 variations. I would recommend your normal Nike technical (non-retro) running shoe size for the Vaporfly. They're pretty roomy. The SP's definitely fit .5 - 1 full size smaller.

What do you see as the difference between normal Nikes and retros in terms of sizing?

hey guys, any idea where i can find laces that are a similar material to the laces used on the SPs?
been searching and every pair has been the thicker woven cotton type and not the thin ribbon ones.
