The i-Run team says
Inspired by the performance of marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge, the men's Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 EK Umoja shoe takes middle and long-distance runners beyond their limits. Innovative and a model of achievement, it guarantees new records on the roads.
Taller than its predecessor, the midsole is equipped with ZoomX foam, offering you twice the energy return. This ultra-light cushioning combined with two Zoom Air units in the forefoot ensures excellent shock absorption and a more responsive rebound to increase your speed.
Coupled with the full-length Flyplate carbon fiber plate, you benefit from a propulsive and dynamic sensation with every stride. Your transitions become smoother for a more natural foot roll, optimizing your energy expenditure and allowing you to cover miles at high speed.
Revised in this version, the widened toe and heel enhance the stability of the whole, allowing you to approach turns on your route with confidence.
This model features the ingenious AtomKnit upper, ensuring quality running comfort. Adapted to the toughness of your efforts, its light and breathable sock-like design guarantees a snug fit while the asymmetrical lacing locks your foot in place without pressure points on the instep.
The rubber outsole is designed based on extensive data collected from numerous runners. This ingenious fabrication provides you with formidable grip and traction, optimized in targeted areas.
"No human is limited," this model features prints that pay tribute to his record-breaking performance at the World Championships in Paris on August 31, 2003, with a time of 12:52.79 over 5000 meters.

Air Zoom
Nike Air Zoom is a responsive and quick cushioning system. Thousands of stretchable fibers are connected at each end inside an incredibly thin air cushion. This cushion is then filled with air in the form of gas. When the air is compressed, the fibers contract. Thanks to the air pressure and the contraction of the fibers, this allows the Zoom Air cushion to absorb shocks, regain its shape more quickly, resulting in immediate responsiveness in a fraction of a second. Thanks to its low profile, the air cushion keeps the foot close to the ground, providing exceptional sensations.
