The i-Run team says
Inspired by marathoner Eliud Kipchoge's performance, the men's Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 Hakone shoe takes middle-distance 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 which offers you twice as effective energy return. This ultra-light cushioning combined with the two Zoom Air units at the forefoot ensures excellent shock absorption and a more responsive rebound to increase velocity.
Coupled with the full-length Flyplate carbon fiber plate, you benefit from a propulsive and dynamic sensation with each stride. Your transitions become smoother for a more natural foot roll to optimize your energy expenditure and cover miles at high speed.
Revised in this version, the widened toe and heel reinforce the overall stability to tackle the turns encountered on your route with confidence.
This model is equipped with the ingenious AtomKnit upper which guarantees quality running comfort. Adapted to the intensity of your efforts, its lightweight and breathable sock-like design ensures a snug fit while the asymmetrical lacing locks your foot without pressure points on the instep.
The rubber outsole is designed with numerous data collected from multiple runners. This ingenious construction gives you formidable grip and traction optimized in targeted zones.

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.
