But they used this bio-mechanical info to solve two very different problems. Here’s a quick comparison of the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% – the successor to the 4% – and the brand new curved sole ASICS Metaride, explaining why one shoe is made to help fast runners go faster and the other is designed to help heel strikers run longer – or at least easier with improved comfort and efficiency.
