The Gyakusuo x Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% ‘University Red Blue’ is a collaboration between Jun Takahashi’s Tokyo-based running crew and Nike, featuring a striking red color on the ZoomX foam midsole. This midsole is known for its exceptional energy-returning properties, which are further enhanced by the addition of a carbon fiber spring plate. The upper part of the shoe is made with semi-translucent FlyWeave material and reinforced with synthetic overlays in contrasting scarlet and navy colors. To provide a secure fit, the shoe is equipped with a knit collar that offers a sock-like feel. The laces are threaded through side sashes, eliminating the need for an arch band. Notable branding elements include the 'Undercover Lab' stamp on the medial saddle and the 'Gyakusou International Running Association' print on the lateral forefoot.
