Nike Air Zoom Elite 9

Footwear for those who would like to achieve better results in training and competitions. The latest version is lighter than the previous model by about 50 grams (each shoe), which significantly reflected in the result at the finish line. Another issue is the construction of the front part, which is wider in the area of the fingers, allowing for better exctraction.

Upper

• Seamless, single layer mesh construction is ultra-lightweight and provides ventilation and support where you need it most.
• Flywire technology wraps the midfoot and arch for a dynamic, glove-like fit. It runs through the lace loops to help reduce pressure on the top ridge of the foot.
• Mesh inner sleeve wraps the foot for a plush, comfortabla fit. Notches at the tongue provide easy on and off.
• Asymmetrical lacing is offset to the medial side of the foot to help relieve lace pressure.
• Internal heel counter provides a secure rearfoot fit.
• Molded, removable EVA sockliner conforms to the shape of your foot for comfort and underfoot support.
• Reflective elements improve visibility after dark or in worse weather conditions.

Midsole

• Cushlon ST midsole foam for lightweight, responsive cushioning.
• Nike Zoom Air unit in the forefoot delivers responsive, low-profile cushioning. It's loaded from the bottom for a smooth transition.
• Heel height is 20 mm and the forefoot is 12.
• The difference in height between the heel and forefoot (so-called Drop) is 8 mm, so that the putting step is performed more naturally and efficiently.

Outsole

• Soft blown rubber on the forefoot for added cushioning and flexibility.
• Hexagonal outsole pattern provides multi-surface traction and durability.
• Rubber crash rail on the lateral outsole acts as a cushioning device at contact for a soft, smooth transition. The rubber is segmented to enhance flexibility.
• Ultra-thin outsole keeps weight low and traction high.
