Midsole:

• Full length Zoom X Midsole with 2 forefoot zoom units. Full-length ZoomX foam offers an ultra-lightweight and responsive ride. It’s built for speed but also provides cushioning to stay fresh even in the late miles of a marathon. It offers comfort where you need it.

• Full-length carbon fibre plate delivers a sort of roll-forward feel that makes you want to take on the next step. It gives you a propulsive sensation and helps you smoothly transition through your stride. Both the forefoot and heel offer slightly wider bases for a stable platform, so you can tackle turns on the course with confidence.

Outsole:

• The sole was designed using data from hundreds of runners. It has different angles of traction placed where you need it, providing grip from foot-strike to toe-off.

Upper: 

• Specifically designed lofted heel pods use Flyknit yarns for secure, extended comfort and lightweight heel lockdown.

• Notched laces offer a secure, but soft lace-up. An integrated knit tongue with lofted padding makes for a secure, repeatable fit that helps reduce lace pressure.

• Part of the Flyknit family—Atomknit material on the upper has a contoured fit while being lightweight and super-breathable.
