Nike Zoom Fly 6 Running Shoes
Take the first step towards your next PB in the Nike Zoom Fly 6. These ultra-responsive shoes are lightweight with a carbon fibre plate to propel you across the finish line.
Engineered Mesh Upper
The upper has been constructed from an ultra-breathable mesh to ensure total comfort. Durable yet airy, the upper features micro-perforations throughout to allow built-up heat and vapour to escape whilst simultaneously encouraging fresh air to flow in for a pleasant cooling sensation. Lighter than the Zoom Fly 5, this upper is ultra-lightweight with a minimalist tongue to shave down the weight for maximal speed. Synthetic leather on the upper adds durability in key areas and a traditional lacing system allows you to lock in the fit for confident, controlled strides. Reflective details ensure visibility in low light, meaning you can keep going beyond dusk till dawn.
ZoomX Foam Midsole
The midsole of the Zoom Fly is crafted from ultra-responsive ZoomX foam. Ultra-light and super-responsive, the midsole material delivers Nike's greatest energy return yet; it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. The revolutionary ZoomX foam is manufactured from Pebax, a product conventionally used in plastic bridges and other moulded parts, and yields cushioning that is not only lightweight but soft and springy. Until now, these three characteristics (collectively) have proven nearly impossible to achieve. Pebax has a lower density than some thermoplastic alternatives and this makes it lighter, flexible, and more impact-resistant, whilst giving it a higher capacity for energy return. When blown into a foam these properties remain, gifting you with a lively underfoot feeling that encourages you to run fast. Signalling the incredible resilience of ZoomX, the tiny creases that occur on every midsole do not have an impact on the foam's performance; these beauty marks are a result of the autoclave process which places the foam under extreme heat and pressure. The ZoomX sheets are then compressed in a Phylon preform which shapes the midsole parts. Because the special foam is so lightweight (one-third the weight of Cushlon), Nike can use more of it to separate your foot from the road; this means you get a thick and supportive midsole that will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete. Reinforcing this bouncy, energetic feel is a full-length carbon fibre plate that provides snappy energy return for greater efficiency, giving you that flying feeling. The midsole also features a rockered construction, utilising the power of your last step to push you into your next one so you run further faster with less effort.
Thin Durable Rubber Outsole
The Zoom Fly 6 features a thin yet ultra-durable rubber outsole to reduce weight without reducing longevity. The rubber forms a solid bond with the ground underneath for great adhesion and grip, meaning you can focus on the run without worrying about slipping. It provides traction on variable road surfaces with ease, allowing you to propel forward and change direction with ease and confidence.
