The ultimate union between sports science and design, Nike NEXT%; the system that has come to revolutionize the world of running. Since last October, when Eliud Kipchoge broke 2 hours in the marathon distance, a record outside the official competition, as he crossed the finish line in Vienna in an exact time of 1:59:40, the controversy surrounding the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% prototype has been raging.
As stated by the Oregon-based company, "the NEXT% platform is the ultimate expression of Nike s ambition to create shoes with quantifiable advantages in performance", a system that works with the aim of creating a more efficient union between runners and technologies to achieve maximum performance.
A true revolution in the world of running that takes on special relevance after the imminent arrival on the market of the new models; the Running shoes, focused on completing workouts, Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% and Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% FlyEase and the competition shoes with spikes Nike Air Zoom Victory and Nike Air Zoom Viperfly.
Nike NEXT% System, the revolution that defies all limits
As Nike points out, this innovative footwear system "has been designed to give athletes a measurable advantage". A system present in the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%, which has the undisputed presence of the carbon fiber plate, Nike ZoomX foam and Nike Zoom Air pads. A compendium of the most cutting-edge and innovative technologies and materials of the moment that seek to increase the efficiency of the runner in the race and encourage athletes to beat all their records, how?
Feeling of propulsion
The carbon fiber plate that characterizes this unique system provides greater stability and generates faster, smoother transitions. A structure that increases rigidity in the forefoot area for a uniquely propulsive feel , propelling the runner through the race,
Unlimited energy return
The exclusive Nike ZoomX foam increases the model's reactivity and provides an unprecedented energy return. In short, a more reactive midsole foam that allows the runner to be faster and more efficient in the race and minimize the loss of energy in each step.
Permanent and durable cushioning
Nike s signature Air Zoom cushioning is another key to the success of the NEXT% system. Added cushioning for a more energetic stride.
Nike adapts the strategy to the new IAAF regulations.
Following the controversy generated by the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% prototype, the IAAF changed the regulations prohibiting shoes with a drop of more than 40 mm or with more than one plate in the midsole. Well, a modification that already has a resounding response from the American firm; the new Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Running shoes, which will make their particular arrival on the market along with the Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% FlyEase training shoes.
Models that "translate the principles of Alphafly to the rigorous daily use", emphasize from the firm itself, however, the design philosophy of NEXT% also expands to new disciplines thanks to the innovative spiked shoes Nike Air Zoom Victory and Nike Air Zoom Viperfly.
Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT%, the NEXT system adapted to training.
Without losing sight of the ambition for competition, the NEXT% system present in the innovative Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% presents certain changes with respect to the original system. A structure that Nike itself states, "gives current athletes the opportunity to leave their mark and motivate future runners (and designers) to set even more ambitious goals". New features to be highlighted with respect to the original system:
- The plate is composite and not carbon. It provides stability in each stride but offers greater smoothness, thus accentuating comfort as the kilometers go by.
- ZoomX foam that guarantees an energetic stride and unlimited reactivity.
- Incorporation of Nike React foam for greater protection against running impacts.
- Nike Zoom Air cushions that guarantee a feeling of superior propulsion.
Without a doubt, the NEXT% system has been reformulated and optimized to provide an unbeatable response to runners looking to enjoy superior cushioning in their most ambitious daily workouts.
A change of concept that does not renounce the very essence of the NEXT% system, creating a more efficient union between runners and technologies to achieve maximum performance.
Spiked shoes and the NEXT% design philosophy.
The Nike Air Zoom Victory and Nike Air Zoom Viperfly, "expand the NEXT% design philosophy to new disciplines", spiked shoes specifically designed for competition, according to the U.S. company. Both models feature the most innovative technologies and materials of the moment, in short, "they are part of Nike s running footwear offering for this summer 2020".
The Nike ZoomX foam, the carbon fiber plate and the characteristic Air Zoom unit present in the Nike Air Zoom Victory guarantee superior protection against the different impacts during the race. In addition, this structure has been specifically designed to minimize energy loss during running and offer a permanent quality response. The upper has been made with a new version of the successful Nike Flyknit fabric; the Atomknit fabric that fits and adapts perfectly to the foot.
For their part, the Nike Air Zoom Victory have been specifically designed for the 100 meters and incorporate a new carbon plate, which, as the company itself points out, allows for variable flexibility within the plate. All this together with the Nike Air Zoom unit in the forefoot area accentuates the cushioning sensation during the race. The upper of this racing shoe also incorporates Atomknit fabric for a snug fit and superior heel lockdown.
Revolutionizing the running world with the Nike NEXT% system.
"The NEXT% platform is the ultimate expression of Nike s ambition to create shoes with quantifiable performance benefits," the U.S. company says. A reality that has marked a before and after in the competitive world of running and that allows a more efficient union between technology and runner.
A compendium of the most innovative technologies and materials of the moment for the benefit of athletes, as pointed out by the company itself,"barriers are an inspiration. As for athletes, when there is a limit in front of us, it automatically becomes a challenge that encourages us to think differently and seek game-changing progress in footwear design".
The imminent arrival on the market of new models incorporating the NEXT% system will test human potential and mark a turning point in the history of running, don't you think runners?
