  • Nike introduced the Vaporfly in the 2016 Olympics to Nike-sponsored athletes, three of whom took the top spots in marathon events. Since then, the shoe has been the weapon of choice of elite athletes like those competing in the 2022 Boston Marathon. Why? Because Nike designed the shoe to literally make you faster. To not wear the Vaporfly has become a disadvantage. So how exactly does this shoe increase speeds and should it even be allowed in competition?

    4% increase in efficiency wont make much of a difference for the ‘average’ runner, but it’s a game changer for a professional athlete. It’s the difference between being good, great, or a world record holder.

    • @bobby2turnt
      @bobby2turnt Před 2 lety +31

      Not true at all. 4% over the course of a marathon has allowed more people to qualify for Boston and other races. If running in one of these events has been a long term goal and the shoes help, consider the game changed.

    • @ericpetersen8645
      @ericpetersen8645 Před 2 lety +13

      In fact it’s the opposite. The tech improves running efficiency (RE) which is worse in slower runners (with worse running form through the kinetic chain). Given that, these shoes have been shown to increase RE up to 8% in average runners.

      @BugattianVeyronian Před rokem +3

      @@ericpetersen8645 I genuinely want to read the study that you mentioned because from a logical standpoint, average runners do not possess the speed to fully activate the carbon plate. I would assume it performs best when a certain amount of force bends it (initial contact), causing it to rebound and the great rebounding force generated by the bent carbon plate should be even more effective in aiding lighter runners (the elites) in their midstance and swing phase (toe off), pushing them further forward than average runners.
      Also, average runners tend to land more on heel than the elites. Not that the elites don't land on their heels but when compared to average runners, the number of elites landing on fore and midfoot are higher than the average runners so it is a mix. The largest portion of the carbon plate is located at the toe area in most racing shoes, it is design with excellent running gait in mind (the elites'). If so, average runners with bad or not-as-good gait pretty much minimizes the intended purpose of the carbon plate since the carbon plate will not be activated fully or at all.
      The only reasons I can think of as in why these shoes make average runners faster are, the rocker design at the front of the shoe (which is present in many non-racing models and not mentioned in the video), the psychological effect, the light weight of the shoes and more foam which makes them softer thus reducing fatigue over longer distances, helping runners to maintain their speed for a longer time.

      @@BugattianVeyronian For Heelstrikers, a carbon plate is in fact an additional resistance. Which is kind of obvious when you think about how a stiff sole is harder to walk on than a soft one. However, when you actually RUN, not jogg/walk, meaning landing on your forfoot, the plate will take some work off the calf muscle, achillis tendon and plantar fascia. You land on your forefoot and feel the stiff sole slowing down the heel on it's way to the ground - Which is naturally done by the calf muscle. Just when the foot is lifted again (assuming your pace is so fast that your heels barely/don't touch the ground), the carbon plate will straighten out again and release it's stored energy, propelling you up and forward. Go into a shop and just bounce in them like you were skipping a rope and you will feel that this actually works- you bounce more and use less energy and the impact felt in the foot is a lot softer as well, as the plate takes the beating.

      The proper way to run is toe first and the heel barely touches the ground. That's why the spikes are only at the front of those shoes. Majority of runners run incorrectly. It's insane watching sprinters' legs in slow motion.

      That is probably more relevant if you are a heel striker, but if you land mid or forefoot the rocking motion doesn't come into play as much. Looking at the form of many pro and elite runners they land primarily fore or mid foot.

      @@evilbred974 Not when the Vaporflys first came out. It was the combination of the Carbon Plate for higher speeds, and the Foam for energy efficiency, as well as the heavily rounded back, and rocking forward design.
      Nowadays, years after 2016, most speed shoes have a heavily rounded back, and newer "super foams", and almost all brands have a shoe with a carbon plate, and some cheaper ones with a nylon plate.
      A plate in the shoe isn't unique to Vaporflys, Nike previous marathon shoes, which I still own, Have a nylon plate which you can feel helping you when you are running very fast. This is because it make the shoe stiff, and your calf doesn't have to work as hard pushing you forward.

    I remember a documentary highlighting the way we have been running. Most every one tends to run by landing heel first. The natural way to run is by landing toe first and having the heel be the spring of the step. They found this out by following, surprise, Ethiopian and Kenyan runners that preferred running barefoot. After this doc, the "toe" shoes started popping up everywhere, and the closer to the ground mentality came back for a running shoe. This was a solid update.

    Cheddar can you do a video on why security cameras are so bad compared to what we have today (unless a video has already been made). We have phones that can capture great photos yet there are security cameras out there that still shoot only black and white video and are really pixelated.

    • @TheKingofrock37
      @TheKingofrock37 Před 2 lety +34

      Security cameras are usually enabled 24/7, and have limits to storage and data rate. If you record 4k60fps video on your phone, you will run out of space in less than an hour and will have to do something with that data, usually delete it. Thus, the cheapest way to keep them running for longer is to lower the video quality.

    Vaporfly Next % (the one you are testing and refering the whole video to) came out after "Breaking 2" documentary. In this film (and perhaps in the olympics before it) athletes used Vaporfly 4%, which was still revolutionary but not as popular as Next %. And yes, 4% name of the model came from being 4% faster, as Nike said at this time. Eliud wore prototype of Nike Alphafly (so another model) in his Vienna attempt, when we broke 2 hours barrier. And the most important: not just foam itself provides such high energy return, but its combination with carbonfibre plate. The plate itself was kind of scandal. In Alphaflies Nike used 3 separate Carbonplates with really high stack of the midsole, which lead to discussions. Your video is really chaotic

    im a seasoned runner, indeed those new age running shoes do make you run faster. as long as the mid sole is made of PE bax foam, you will feel more bouncier than the normal traditional running shoe. and that save alot of energy. carbon plated shoes are added advantage for you to bring back your leg from behine to the front more efficiantly, in the cost of hurting your plantar fiscal. because of its stiffness.

    I much prefer the Saucony Endorphin Speed over this shoe. I have both but the Vaporfly has a much harder plate which makes you forefoot strike. And if you don't have really strong ankles and lower calves, it can wreck havoc on your feet. I had to start super low mileage and slowly add little bits of distance at a time. The Saucony shoe with the same pebax has a much less aggressive plate and I can still heel strike without any effort. The VF is a good shoe but it takes a lot of initial time to build up mileage for it. But in the end, if any shoe allows you to train more and recovery faster, I'm all for it.

    Here are 2 things that I've seen that add to this conversation:
    1. It's when new technology, that still meets the qualifications set by the old standard, comes out. I saw a golf video explaining why when the Titleist pro v1 first came out, the average drive of professional golfers went up by 9 yards that year.
    2. A few years back I was a judge for a big cross fit competition. You compete against yourself, but if you have an advantage you can use less energy and go faster. The last people I had to judge, in the pro division, would accelerate the weights down to bounce them off the floor. This little advantage doesn't seem much, but if you had to completely stop, let go, and have the weight loose momentum would loose time and energy. I wasn't told this was illegal, so I let it slide.

I know having tried to watch this stuff on TV and the pros were within inches of smashing there face in one of the coemptions. Also some of those Crossfit people are needing whole body synthetic joint fluid put back all joints in due to how demanding some of the Crossfit challenges are or were before they changed up the rules a bit to give time before rounds of events not just going back to back to back into events with no single break, they have rounds now.

I bought nike zoom x vaporfly 4% yesterday for only 5.60$ at thrift store, The experience of wearing and using it was so great it feels like you are flying although it has a minor issues the performance were still great.
    It does not affect the swiftness of the motion.
    As what i saw in this video, words were accurate, While i was using my newly bought shoes i ran for about 10km and the difference between my asics novablast 1 and the nike zoom x vaporfly 4% has a big difference, the asics might be high on cussion but this pair of nike is well balance.
    For me this is the greatest shoes i've ever had.
