To maximise running economy, radical new geometry was introduced, absolutely vital when covering long distances at pace. The addition of dual Zoom Air units in the forefoot of the shoe increased the responsive and highly propulsive running experience.

Who can forget Eliud Kipchoge approaching the finish line of his second attempt at breaking the 2 hour barrier for the marathon distance in Vienna in 2019? He’d come so close on his previous attempt and Nike had subsequently revisited the drawing board, developing a shoe which gave him the very best chance of achieving this previously unimaginable feat.
