NIKE VAPORFLY 3 REVIEW / Am I the fittest I've been for years or is it the shoe??! 

Yes I’m am excited Only AP3 is competitor

Look great, but too expensive for me. I'm always looking at the old models to get a bargain! 😂

I’ve been really liking Adidas Adizero Pro3. AlphaFly 2 while comfy the 4mm drop makes them dust collectors. Very curious if the vaporfly3 fit true? I had Vaporfly1 that fit 1/2 size small.

Ben, doing your level 5 right now, hell of a training plan. Which of the above shoes would you wear if it was a full marathon I needed a new super shoe race which is mostly downhill course.

@@daddycox82 AP3

lisbon?

@@diogogoncalves200 oh I wish. Hell of a lot closer to Ben, just one that took place in Essex, England.

Brilliant!! Congratulations on the sub 1:40!! Awesome PB 🙌

@@BenParkes Gonna scale it down now and aim for 19-20 min 5k 💪🏼

His training plan is the best, doing level 5, My last marathon was a 3:19, just did a half in 1:26 so well on my way to sub 3:05. Ben is the best.

I bought two vp2s for the price of one a couple weeks ago this is the best time of year to stock up on older super shoes 😂

Thanks so much!

Absolutely!! She’s the back bone behind everything you see!

​@@BenParkespls marry her NOW 🎉❤!

It's a big park but not exactly accessible unless you live nearby. it's the illusion of nature in sprawling city buildings and high pollution. I lived there for 9 years - you only realise how messed up it is once you leave.

I’m a Canadian too. The coldest I ran in was -29°C

You should at least get a new pair of V2s if your going all out in Boston. Best of luck on your race 💥👊😀

They are from Soar

Hi James, try strengthening the muscles from your knee downwards, this will help your stability.

Where did you buy them from?

@@Phenomenon5002 from Nike on the launch day.

@@Formerly-known-as-Steve it says coming soon still?

@@Phenomenon5002 I’m in England

@@Formerly-known-as-Steve do you have any idea when they will be available in the U.S

It definitely is less snug fitter it’s a lot nicer

I think the 3s will hold up way better, a lot more padding to eat through before they break down

I’ve never really known. It’s just speculation.. something to do with the number of k’s they’ve tested them before production maybe. The final colourways won’t have those markings on!

The alphas have basically no support. The VF have more support. And the VF are lighter weight.

Hope you enjoy your first few runs when the weather improves!! Have fun!!

They usually end up on eBay to try and get some of the expense back.. to reinvest for future shoe review videos!

Garmin Epix 2

If the marathon was tomorrow I’d be wearing these. But actually managed to find a rebellion pro in my size late last night, so will be trying that very soon!

@@BenParkes Brill !! Thanks for the reply. Ps Sarah is amazing with her filming and editing skills 💥

Crazy to see how many are spending so much on the 3s already!

I did the same :D I think there is not much difference between 2 or 3 so I picked up 2 pairs of the version 2 , one to be used a daily trainer and second one as half marathon shoe.

Yes.. excited to try that one too!

Yes!

Yes was disappointed in the rate the outsole was wearing. Good advice Brent!

What’s the training shoe equivalents alpha fly?

what's the sister training shoes then ?

@@leones0051 The Alphafly Shamelessly ripped from ChatGPT's results: "When it comes to choosing between the **Nike Vaporfly** and the **Nike Alphafly**, serious runners find themselves at a crossroads. These two shoes are like star athletes in the world of performance racers. Let's lace up and dive into the details: 1. **Nike Vaporfly**: - Developed as part of "Project Breaking2" with the ambitious goal of helping runners break the 2-hour marathon mark. - **Lighter** than the Alphafly. - Designed for **speed** and aggressive racing. - Offers less cushioning but is incredibly responsive. - Perfect for those aiming to set personal records or conquer shorter distances. 2. **Nike Alphafly**: - Considered the "little sister" of the Vaporfly. - **Stable** due to its width, making it better for cornering. - Provides **ample cushioning** for comfort during longer runs. - Great for marathon distances and serious distance runners. In summary, if you're chasing a half marathon PR, most would recommend the **Alphafly**. But if you're eyeing that elusive 10K record or want to feel the wind at your back during a 5K, the **Vaporfly** might be your go-to shoe. Either way, you're in elite company with these top-tier racers! 🏃‍♀🏃‍♂ Remember, both shoes are like finely tuned instruments, so choose the one that resonates with your running goals! 🏅 Source: Conversation with Bing, 11/30/2023 (1) Nike Alphafly 2 Vs Vaporfly 2 Guide | What Is The Difference?. running.reviews/blogs/shoes/alphafly-2-vs-vaporfly-2.

Try AP3

How is sizing compared to v2?

@@junglisttt very similar. Toe box has a little more height, but overall I’d stick with the same size.

Thank you. Yes, they must have released them in a 12 suddenly. About a month after launch. I got a pair last night after some DM’s. Thank you!

Supportive for a lightweight race shoe! 🙂

I think true to size for these

@@BenParkes Thanks Ben 👊

Yes!

I'm going to do the Amsterdam Marathon in my Altra Vanish Carbons, a highly underrated shoe.

Vapor 3 at the moment!

I loved the 1s…the 2s were not the same and too stiff but still way better than the Alphaflys which I hate.

​@@partyguinness I also loved the v1 the v2 I found significantly stiffer...yet many seem to think the v2 midsole does feel the same. Hopefully the v3 feels softer and springy like the v1.

Have you noticed any considerable wear in them, by now?

@@pedroazevedo2067 Not yet but I don’t think they’ll last that long.. just limiting how much I use them

@@annekafrench7120 from my understanding the Zoom ones last longer, but I am reluctant about buying shoes that I may feel the need to bin after 6 months or so. It’s a tough one…

I love the Pro 3!!

A great shoe. Good luck!!

@@BenParkes thanks! 🙂
