Nike Gyakusou x ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% 'University Red Blue'

Designed in collaboration with Jun Takahashi’s Tokyo-based running crew, the Gyakusou x Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% ‘University Red Blue’ showcases a brilliant shade of red on the ZoomX foam midsole, its energy-returning properties amplified by a carbon fiber spring plate. Up top, semi-translucent FlyWeave is bolstered with no-sew synthetic overlays in contrasting scarlet and navy hues. A knit collar provides a sock-like fit, while the laces are looped through side sashes that eliminate the need for an arch band. Unique branding hits include ‘Undercover Lab’ stamped on the medial saddle and ‘Gyakusou International Running Association’ printed across the lateral forefoot.

Repping that hybrid energy from UNDERCOVER and Nike, the Gyakusou x ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% "University Red Blue" is engineered for peak performance but styled for the streets. The punchy red and blue combo is the sneaker equivalent of a hype soundtrack - bold, unexpected, and with undeniable presence. Built on the acclaimed Vaporfly platform, every step loads and launches you like you’re part of some high-stakes, full-throttle city chase. Slip in, and the day just feels a little faster, a little different - your version of ‘go’ turned up past eleven.

ZoomX Vaporfly Cushioning Technology

With Nike’s ZoomX Vaporfly platform underfoot, you’re getting next-level cushioning and exceptional energy return on every stride. This tech was developed to propel elite racers, but it works just as hard on a Thursday’s coffee run - soft, light, and so responsive your feet might forget what tired feels like, even after a day of urban commutes or all-night events.

Unique UNDERCOVER Collaboration Design

Tokyo’s UNDERCOVER injects Gyakusou’s irreverent spirit into this special edition, splashing the upper with a dynamic University Red and Blue color palette. The look’s a total head-turner, perfect for standing out in a sea of predictable retro kicks. Details and overlays speak to UNDERCOVER’s reputation for both function and forward-thinking, whether you’re all about the flex or performance is your top priority.

Enhanced Fit and Lockdown

The upper features reworked overlays and wraparound lace loops, offering a roomier toe box and an even more secure midfoot lockdown. This update means serious comfort with an extra-stable feel, no matter if you’re breaking personal bests or just owning the pavement. It’s engineered to hold you in - so you can let your style, not your footwork, do the talking.

Street League Racer

Pair the sneakers with cropped technical joggers, a boxy utility vest, and an oversized hoodie in muted grey or black. Top with a nylon bucket hat and slim crossbody bag, letting the bold red and blue colorway light up your whole look without losing the edge.

Urban Casual Track

Let the shoes take center stage with tapered black cargos and a crisp white tee, finishing with a navy coach’s jacket. Add a bold graphic sock and subtle logo cap to keep that clean-living runner energy, even when you’re off the clock.

Creative Studio Mix

Slide these under loose, frayed-hem jeans and a tucked vintage band tee, stacking a lightweight bomber over the top. A chunky chain and round sunglasses polish off the vibe - equal parts art school cool and high-tech ambition, built for the gallery or the grind.
