The Nike Zoom Fly 3 is meant to look fast just sitting in your closet; they look like they are going to take off. I actually prefer this look to the Next %'s minimal upper look.
The addition of the new Vaporweave makes leaps for form and function. This new material from Nike helps in reducing the weight of the upper.
The material does work as advertised, providing spill resistance as well as breathability. This is achieved by way of having a micro-perforated mesh that feels plastic but helps with the intended purpose.
For a minimal upper, the Nike Zoom Fly 3 holds the foot really well because of its neoprene Bootie that wraps around the foot all the way to the insole. Gone are the Flywires, that I think we may never see again in a flagship model.
The Zoom Fly 3’s midsole is painted partially in a gradient color effect to maximize that sense of flow.
The heel counter is pointy, and the bottom heel angles up the same way supercars have rear bumper wind deflectors. This model is definitely automotive inspired.
The weight is rather low at 9.65oz for Men's size 10. This is outstanding considering the stack height of 23mm in the forefoot and 34mm in the heel for a not so subtle 11mm offset that will put you right on the edge of your toes.
This Zoom Fly 3 is so forward-strike oriented that the amount of rubber in the heel was reduced with no noticeable difference in performance.
Also, take note that the rubber in the heel is placed exactly in the only places where a neutral runner would wear the outsole. The arch area and middle of the heel are exposed React foam, which holds wear really well.
On foot, the softness of the midsole is noticeable, but the Zoom Fly 3 does not sink in like the Vaporfly Next%. The React foam is firmer than the one in the Nike Epic React, maybe because of the rigidity that the Launchpad offers to keep the lateral torsion at bay. In general, this shoe feels soft yet rigid, but not in a bad way.
I have tried long runs, and the ride holds up pretty well all the way. Overall, the Nike Zoom Fly 3 really shines in interval and tempo workouts, where the angle of attack of the stride is more in line with the shape of the shoe.
