The arrival on the market of the new Nike CruzrOne brings with it an unusual change of concept in the competitive world of running. While it is true that, a priori, the most cutting-edge technological innovations of the moment seek to push runners to achieve maximum speed and performance in running, this new Nike launch advocates a very different philosophy; they have been designed for a stable movement and a smooth pace. This is the Nike CruzrOne, the shoe designed for slow running.

Yes, yes, you read that right, for slow running. Not all training sessions are aimed at breaking records, pushing your body to the limit or reaching maximum intensity. It's also necessary to go for low-intensity work, and run at lighter paces.This silhouette highlights one of the key concepts ,'Slow Running'.

The proposal of the Oregon firm is clear; the Nike CruzrOne Running shoes have been conceived to move at slower speeds.

Nike CruzrOne, the valor of movement

The Nike CruzrOne is characterized by offering excellent cushioning capacity along with unbeatable energy return. This Nike Running silhouette's main objective is to offer a more efficient foot conduction during running by favoring smoother and more fluid transitions, from heel to toe. At slower speeds, it is the heel area that receives the most impact when the foot makes contact with the surface; hence this model includes a rounded heel.

Running at lighter speeds is also running, and therefore the runner needs a model that suits his needs during this type of running. Nike Running 's product designers have chosen to incorporate the exclusive React foam in the heel area that guarantees excellent cushioning during running. A rocker-like structure for greater fluidity in each step.

In addition, the rubber outsole offers unbeatable traction and grip on different training surfaces, although it should be noted that this model has been optimized for training on asphalt.

It is a shoe that facilitates smoother transitions, completing more natural running movements. A silhouette oriented to runners with neutral footsteps who are looking to move at slower paces in runs of up to 10 km.

This is a philosophy that Nike Running is championing and that it highlights with this new release, the Nike CruzrOne. This silhouette has been conceived as a training shoe, for slow runs, completely disassociating itself from the competitive concept.
