Integrated Air Zoom units and a single-block ZoomX midsole deliver next-generation propulsion and plush comfort, while the AtomKnit 3.0 upper wraps the foot for locked-in performance.

Engineered for those chasing personal bests, this shoe is trusted by world-record athletes and designed for anyone determined to break the mold.

• Upper: AtomKnit 3.0, Nike’s advanced version of FlyKnit, is ultra-lightweight, durable, and highly breathable.

• Midsole: Continuous block of ZoomX foam runs the length of the shoe, paired with widened Flyplate (carbon fiber plate) and dual forefoot Air Zoom pods.

• Outsole: Thin, high-abrasion rubber segments reinforce the forefoot and key impact zones, tuned for racing-specific traction and weight savings.

• ZoomX Foam: Delivers industry-leading shock absorption and springy responsiveness, enhancing comfort deep into the marathon while propelling runners forward.

• Flyplate (Carbon Plate): A full-length, widened carbon-fiber plate functions as a “springboard” for forward propulsion, smoother transitions, and enhanced running economy.

• Air Zoom Units: Two visible pods in the forefoot offer extra bounce and rapid toe-off during the run’s most critical phases.

• Rocker Geometry: Early-stage rocker in the forefoot supports efficient, natural stride progression. particularly beneficial for midfoot/forefoot strikers.
