Nike Flyknit Racer

The Flyknit Racer surnames of this Nike Running model already offer numerous clues about the type of shoe that the runner will have the opportunity to wear: extremely lightweight fit and great adaptation, just like a glove. Two features that present it as an option designed for competition. Not for nothing are a large group of marathon runners and triathletes already wearing the Nike Flyknit Racer on their feet.

That great fit, like a second skin, of the Flyknit Racer comes from its one-piece woven upper, which has hardly any seams, allowing for reinforcement in areas such as elasticity, breathability and support when it is most needed. And all this without adding any extra weight to the model. But for this kind of precise fit, the Nike Flyknit Racer also resorts to the characteristic Dynamic Flywire technology, wrapping the foot in a lighter way, and offering more dynamism, and a tighter fit through the laces. In this way, the Nike Flyknit Racer comes to meet that demand that many runners are trying to solve: to wear a shoe that holds and wraps the foot well, but without oppressing, and that contributes to that feeling of running almost barefoot, just with the sock on. In short, greater breathability, better support and maximum comfort.

Cutting-edge technologies in the Nike Flyknit Racer

The low-profile fit and great lightness of the Nike Flyknit Racer has also led the American firm to incorporate some of its most cutting-edge technologies in Running shoes. For example, the DiamondFLX, which offers more flexibility in multiple directions, thanks to the strategic arrangement of its rhomboidal flex grooves. This system promotes more natural foot movements, which translates into increased power and control, but also significantly improved stability and grip.

The Flyknit Racer also features the Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot, which, together with the Phylon midsole compound, results in a model with more effective cushioning that is both lightweight and comfortable. This cushioning system brings the foot closer to the ground, offering a soft feel and increasing the shoe's reactivity.

On the other hand, the outsole of the Nike Flyknit Racer, made of waffle-type rubber and with a diamond-shaped design, is specifically designed for competition, and provides durable and lightweight traction.

Its ultra-lightweight, total weight of 160 grams, makes the Nike Flyknit Racer an ideal model to face races and triathlons.
