Fascinating shoe! Seems like you are really ramping up to peak training for your marathon. Stay vigilant for any minor niggles that don’t go away. It seems like you are doing a large % of your mileage close to marathon pace and not enough easy miles (8:45/mi and slower). Those slower miles aren’t “junk” they will help with recovery, muscle capillary growth, and fat burn.

What do you think of the stability of the shoe? You mentioned it causing discomfort on that sloped road - many people seem to get overpronation issues with VF4% over time, myself included somewhat, and was wondering if the changed outsole/midsole shape helps with that. Or if the added forefoot ZoomX and decreased drop have some effect on it one way or another.

That, and adding more width to the midsole which seemed to be #1 complaint everywhere. This upper looks like a downgrade for me, didn't like the original at all. I'll buy it eventually for the added ZoomX and hope for the best.

Hi, Kofuzi! Would you recommend this shoe for "middle of the pack" runners? I bought the 4% flyknits mostly in anticipation for race day recovery (and a little help during the races). In 2 races, my legs felt great afterwards. But as a "middle of the pack" runner, I felt very self conscious showing up in the 4%. The Next% are even more unique and noticeable, but the extra foam I would imagine could make race performance and recovery even better. I'm looking to run the Chicago Marathon at a 9 min.mil pace, but anticipating up to 10 min/mil just to give myself the psychological wiggle room. All of this to say, are the Next% only for BQers or can the rest of us enjoy them as well?

@kofuzi

Ultimately, it's your feet and your wallet. I think people should wear what they want. if you're feeling a bit self conscious, and I can relate to that, then perhaps the regular 4% is the way to go.

For those people that say you shouldn't, I think I can distill those opinions down to the concept that there may be less value in spending this type of money on a race shoe in terms of price per performance.

i know this is for fast runners, but how fast should you be to benefit from this shoe? thanks

nike reps have been quoted as saying that these will benefit all running levels.

Next time these come available I am snagging a pair.

Weird question?? Did you size up/ or buy your normal size? I have seen reviews on the 4% with people having sizing issues and they they were sold out? I wear the Nike zoom and I did size up. I see these are being released again soon. Great review and really enjoy your content👏🏻👍🏻

QUESTION(s) QUESTION(s): 1) MARATHON SHOES vs TRAINING SHOES im going into a military training program. they say we will run 16 miles a week for 5 months. i keep seeing on nike website that yes these new X% style shoes are good for running, but they are for "marathons", while the website lists similar shoes (w/ carbon plate) for "everyday training purposes". my question is: is there some disadvantage to getting the "marathon" shoe for someone in my situation. is there some kind of stress-factor that im not accounting for that the "everyday training shoe" will better avoid. 2) CURVED TOE AREA why are the 2020 X%s and some others sort of curved in the toe area. i've never had shoes like that, and am unsure if the transition to curved-toe shoes from a lifetime of pretty bland basic oval-shaped soled shoes will put me at a disadvantage during my 5 months of daily competition About Me: - i do sprints 3x a week - Saturdays i do 7-12 miles depending on location - i've been called a "heel striker" because i tore my lower back a decade ago and also have naturally weak/small glutes - 5'10. 180lbs. - at training i will be doing about 3 miles a day on mixed surfaces (road, track, grass). - training at Rhode Island. Aug-Jan

1. Different tools for different jobs. I can’t make a military analogy because I don’t know how, but I think of shoes like cooking knives. A chefs knife and a paring knife both have edges. And some people will swear that they can dice an onion better with a paring knife or stem a strawberry better with a 9” chefs knife. But there are different types of knives for a reason. 2. See #1.

Great video. What do you anticipate the durability of the shoe being vs. the 4%?

kofuzi cool. Look forward to the longer term update. On a different note, what do you think will become of the flyknit 4%? Will Nike discontinue or keep in the line for a lower price point (ha!) ZoomX distance shoe?

going so fast i thought he was trying to return the ring to mordor
