The VaporWeave material in the upper part is a specially designed woven mesh that is both lightweight and breathable for a secure, comfortable fit. The improved lacing is complemented by the lightweight side sashes. This eliminates the need for an arch strap to reduce the weight of the shoe and the pressure on your tendons. The wider toe area ensures a looser fit and activates the muscles in the forefoot.

Nike ZoomX foam delivers the highest energy return ever from Nike Running. NEXT% has even more ZoomX for responsive comfort on race day. A full-length carbon fiber plate in the midsole prevents energy loss in the toe area.

Flex grooves along the outsole improve traction on multiple surfaces in a variety of weather conditions. Especially under the forefoot, the sole is designed for outstanding traction.
