  • An Observational Study of the Effect of Nike Vaporfly Shoes on Marathon
    An Observational Study of the Effect of Nike Vaporfly Shoes on Marathon Performance Joseph Guinness, Debasmita Bhattacharya, Jenny Chen, Max Chen, Angela Loh Cornell University Abstract We collected marathon performance data from a systematic sample of elite and sub-elite athletes over the period 2015 to 2019, then searched the internet for publicly-available pho- tographs of these performances, identifying whether the Nike Vaporfly shoes were worn or not in each performance. Controlling for athlete ability and race difficulty, we estimated the effect on marathon times of wearing the Vaporfly shoes. Assuming that the effect of Vapor- fly shoes is additive, we estimate that the Vaporfly shoes improve men's times between 2.0 and 3.9 minutes, while they improve women's times between 0.8 and 3.5 minutes. Assum- ing that the effect of Vaporfly shoes is multiplicative, we estimate that they improve men's times between 1.4 and 2.8 percent and women's performances between 0.6 and 2.2 percent. The improvements are in comparison to the shoe the athlete was wearing before switch- ing to Vaporfly shoes, and represents an expected improvement rather than a guaranteed improvement. 1 Introduction There is a growing consensus that Nike Corporation's new line of marathon racing shoes, which are commonly referred to as Vaporflys, provide a significant performance advantage to athletes who wear them. While several different versions of the shoes have appeared in races, including the Vaporfly 4%, the Vaporfly Next%, the Alphafly, and several prototype shoes, each iteration of the shoes has in common a carbon fiber plate stacked inside of a highly responsive foam sole.
