So the Vaporfly 4% is by far the best marathon racing flat ever produced. I have one pair coupled with four pair of Zoom Flys to train in. Do you guys know if they will restock the Vaporfly 4%? Maybe they restock a ton right before Boston?

Just race in your Zoom Flys. You're running on the placebo effect anyways.....
What size? My local running store has 1 pair in stock!
wait a few weeks for the new adidas . This is advertised as a 5% shoe, and looks better.
I actually found a pair this morning for $265. Not bad considering retail is $250....
Negative.....I dropped 4+ minutes off my last marathon in them. My training since October 2017 in the Zoom Flys and Vapors are way better. I'm much more recovered and ready to go on each run. My average training pace so far this year is 6:49.

But just think what you'll be able to run once Adidas markets their 5% shoe to you?!
I've run a good bit of sub 3 marathons in the Boston Boost 5. I have run tons and tons of speed work in the Adios Boost. Sorry but Adidas has nothing on these Zoom Flys and Vapor 4%. I looked at those Adidas 2 hours shoe yesterday and thought how bad peoples legs will feel after 20 miles in a marathon.

Congrats on the PRs. Obviously the continued building of mileage and increased training is 99% responsible for your success, but for you, you would still favor the Zoom Fly over the Boston or Adios?
Have you tried the Nike Epic React Flyknit? I also use the Zoom Fly primarily for training (tempo runs and long runs) and Zoom Vaporfly 4% for racing (got nice PR's in both my most recent half and full marathon) but I was wondering if the Epic React could replace the Zoom Fly as a trainer? I use my Pegasus 34 for easy runs and Zoom Streak LT3 for track speedwork.

React has been valuable for me to just work into the mix alongside the Zoom Fly for training (also will be using VF for racing although my pair still currently has zero miles on them). Zoom Fly is so stiff which I found was wearing me down a bit when I was using them exclusively. Have been doing easier runs in the React's for the last couple weeks (got them in Nike+ presale) and have enjoyed them, but definitely not for long runs or faster workouts.
I really do favor the Zoom Fly or Zoom Fly SP over the Boston and Adios. Much more cushion!!! Legs never really get fatigued during sessions.
How many Nike employees are trolling this site?
I guess you are fine with shoe doping. Your times are not legitimate, but continue to trampoline your way to the finish line.
i dropped almost 1 minute off my 5k pr, magic shoes.
This is true.
It is disappointing that athletes lack morals and will do anything to reduce their time.
Possibly a separate division should be implemented : the anything goes division where it is okay to
cut the course, blood dope, and wear shoes such as the Nike Vaporfly 4%.
Face it!! Nike is above the shoe world right now!! All they did was mix the Hoka cushion with a Mizuno type plate. Couple that with Nike upper material and greatest marathon shoes ever made.

Said the guy that has never raced in the 4%.
I wanna buy a pair before Chicago, I think I'll be just fine right? Because last year I thought that by now they would be easier to get already, but still nothing....
i bought 6 pairs in last month, best shoes ever
