Nike has a number of features you should be looking for in a pair or shoes for your workout. These features range from Flywire to the Air cushioning unit. These features will make a big difference to your performance during intense workout sessions. Hopefully, you have found the right pair of shoes for you.

Flywire

Nike Flywire is a lightweight and flexible material made from finely spun liquid crystal polymer fibers. It was originally developed to remove excess weight from shoes. Flywire is unlike carbon fibre, which can feel stiff and rigid. It's able to adapt to your foot’s natural movement, unlike carbon. It offers unparalleled support and comfort.

This lightweight material is used in many Nike performance models. This lightweight material was developed first by Tommaso Rillini, a NASA mechanical engineer. Rivellini was also the inventor of airbags that were used on NASA's Mars Excursion and other rovers. This fabric is light and strong making it ideal for performance sneakers.

Flywire is a Vectran filament made of lightweight and strong Vectran that is placed on the uppers. It provides support and fit without adding bulk to the shoe. It has since been used on performance apparel and Nike footwear across the board. It is easy to create a lightweight, comfy shoe that fits perfectly.


The Flywire material was originally used for running shoes, but Nike quickly realized its high tenacity fibers would translate to other sports as well. Flywire is now available in soccer cleats and basketball shoes.

Air cushioning unit

Nike workout shoes feature an air cushioning unit that helps reduce the impact on your joints and make them more comfortable. The idea behind the design came from an aeronautical engineer who was working at NASA. Nike adopted his idea in the Nike Tailwind shoe running shoe in 1978.

This shoe's upper is made from breathable, flexible Engineered Mesh material. It provides an exceptional fit. They feature a Zoom Air unit in a full length design that works with Nike React technology, providing a smooth and bouncy ride.

Nike React and Lunarlon feature soft foam cores with a supportive foam carrier. This cushioning is very lightweight, while still offering significant energy return. Nike React is durable, so it can be used for long periods without feeling any discomfort. It is softer than traditional Phylon Foam, which makes it great for long-term use.

The Nike Air cushioning unit adds bounce to every step. This trapped air transforms into energy which can be used to propel your body forward, perform high-intensity exercises, and so on. Nike has also integrated the Flywire system. This is a network made up of thin cables that increases lateral hold.
