Nike Zoom Victory 5 XC Cross Country Spikes

Built to tackle tough courses, the Nike Zoom Victory 5 XC features a translucent woven upper that's incredibly lightweight and breathable. An updated outsole adds rubber heel pods and extra lugs for multi-surface durability and aggressive traction.

Mesh Upper

Mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. When temperatures begin to rise the well ventilated upper ensures a constant cooling effect so you can power through any workout with ease. Striped skin overlays are added to the shoe to provide added durability and support. The overlays swathe the midfoot to increase longevity and ensure structured support. Thin speed laces have a knitted texture which helps to keep knots more secure than traditional laces. The lacing system also helps to create a locked-down fit to reduce in shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

Cushlon Midsole

Cushlon resides underfoot to deliver a soft, yet resilient, and responsive ride. Light in weight and low in profile, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving terrain. Cushlon's reactive nature means your use of superfluous muscle power is reduced, so you can run faster or at the same speed for longer. An ultra-lightweight carbon fibre plate in the midfoot has been designed as part of the Victory XC 5, this enhances stability and support on uneven surfaces allowing you to remain well balanced. Intended to minimise energy loss during toe bend without increasing demand on the calf, it springs up under your heel as you stride forward, yielding the snappy, propulsive sensation that converts into extra-energised strides.

Six -Spike Outsole

The forefoot Pebax plate is shaped like a horse shoe and houses six spike receptacles for even pressure dispersal and superior grip. Translucent rubber covers the forefoot and heel, smoothing the transition from heel-strike to toe-off; it is removed in the midfoot to expose the outsole, enhancing flexibility while reducing weight. This also prevents mud and debris from clogging the outsole and saturating your pace. Rubber pods on the heel and aggressively patterned lugs provide multi-surface traction and durability. The anatomical heel is rounded to roll with the ground, encouraging a more natural and fluid range of motion. For the athletes who crave a consistent fit for race day performance, choose the Victory 5 XC.
