The Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 2 running shoe lands on the market to continue with the purpose of "running through the air". This model was a revolution and innovation in Nike and therefore in the world of running. Its groundbreaking and daring aesthetics, reliable cushioning that does not weigh and lightweight support are the main characteristic features of the new update of the VaporMax Flyknit. It is also important to note that six recycled plastic bottles are used to produce one pair of these Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 2 shoes, which helps to reduce the enormous amounts of materials deposited in landfills.
While the original model, the Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit, marked a before and after in the catalog of the American firm, this new update promises to continue along the same line. It presents new design elements that modify not only the aesthetics but also the performance of this running shoe. Without forgetting that this is a model for fast runs but also to achieve an improved look, we will highlight the new features both in cushioning and in support and fit.
In this model, the traditional midsole disappears and in its place the Nike Air unit is incorporated: directly in the sole of the foot. Thus, the cushioning will protect you against impacts while running and at the same time, you will enjoy an incredible sensation. This structure allows for an increase in foot strike pressure and a release of that pressure when the foot is lifted off the ground.
In this latest update the outsole features rubber sections in the heel and forefoot to increase durability and therefore the life of the shoe. In addition, the additional lining in the heel area provides additional support compared to the previous model: the foot is kept stable and a displacement of the foot during the run is prevented.
In the upper area of the shoe, Nike designers continue to use Flyknit fabric , as it adapts perfectly and naturally to the foot. The purpose of this fabric is to offer a precise and snug fit similar to that provided by a sock. In addition, this fabric is more open to ensure a continuous flow of air for as long as possible. It is in this area of the running shoe where they have introduced Flywire cables that interact with the laces for greater support when you tie them.
The Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 2 is the revolution in the running segment. These Running shoes offer a unique and incomparable cushioning, a real challenge from the American firm. Whilesupport, cushioning and design are the most characteristic features of this VaporMax Flyknit 2, we must also point out its 10mm drop. Without forgetting that the manufacture of these Flyknit 2 helps to reduce the amount of plastic in landfills since for each pair of shoes 6 recycled plastic bottles are used.
