Nike’s new Breaking2 campaign is designed to help the fastest runners in the world complete a marathon in under two hours. In efforts to assist a trio of runners that includes Zersenay Tadese, Lelisa Desisa and Eliud Kipchoge, Nike has produced what they’re considering the best marathon shoe on the market — the Nike Zoom VaporFly Elite.
By reducing excess weight, tightening fit and ensuring the utmost level of comfort, the shoe stands to be one of Nike’s biggest innovations. Resting on the newly revealed Nike ZoomX foam cushioning system and a full-length carbon fiber plate to increase stiffness and provide a propulsion sensation, a Flyknit upper hugs the foot without adding weight while its aerodynamic heel minimizes drag.
