The Nike Vaporfly 4 Releases April 2025 in White Obsidian Mist

As a brand with roots deeply entrenched in performance running, it only makes sense that Nike will continue to innovate and push the sport forward with technological and design advancements. One of the brand’s most popular and advanced series is the Vaporfly, which first launched with the Vaporfly 4% in 2017 and now includes three different iterations: the Vaporfly NEXT% 1, 2, and 3, launched in 2019, 2021, and 2023, respectively. Nike is launching the Vaporfly 4 in 2025, continuing this two-year release cycle.

These first images of the Vaporfly 4 reveal the upcoming White Obsidian Mist rendition, which opts for a neutral and clean color palette from top to bottom. On the upper, a new knit pattern looks light, if not lighter than its predecessor, with some new design elements for the series borrowed from its cousin, the Alphafly 3. This design is apparent with the large Swoosh painted onto the upper dipping down below onto the sole of the forefoot.
