The Nike Zoom VaporFly Next Ekiden is an iteration of Nike's VaporFly running shoe series that is made specifically for racing. The shoe is named after the Japanese long-distance relay race - the Ekiden - which is traditionally run over a marathon distance.

The Next Ekiden Nike Zoom VaporFly has a carbon fiber plate that is designed to give runners a more efficient toe-off, providing a spring-like effect that can help reduce fatigue and increase performance. It features Nike's FlyEase technology, which is designed to make the shoe easier to get on and off. The FlyEase system is made up of a collapsible heel, which allows for easy entry and exit.

We think that one of the key features of the VaporFly Next Ekiden is its ZoomX foam, which is used in the midsole. This foam is made from a special blend of materials that are designed to return energy with each stride, helping to reduce fatigue and give runners a more efficient stride. The Nike Zoom VaporFly Next Ekiden was released on January 2, 2020 at a retail price of $240.
