Renegade x Nike Vaporfly 4

Nike‘s first collaboration with a specialty run store came in April 2026 through Renegade, a running-specific retail concept that the brand tapped to put its perspective on both the Vaporfly 4 super shoe and the Vomero Premium daily trainer. The partnership represented Nike‘s growing investment in performance running community retail rather than just mainstream lifestyle channels.

The Vaporfly 4 version featured Renegade’s design input on Nike’s fastest consumer marathon racing shoe, combining community credibility with elite performance technology. For the running community, this was one of the most authentic collaborative drops the sport had seen in years.

The Renegade x Nike Vaporfly 4 retailed at $280 and released April 4, 2026 through Renegade, Nike SNKRS, and select running specialty retailers.
