Our opinion on the Nike Air Zoom Maxfly
The Nike Air Zoom Maxfly is the flagship product of the Swoosh brand and is regularly seen on the feet of athletes at the world's premier athletics event. You get impressive sensations and the energy return is excellent. On the other hand, its fragility and price mean that you should be careful and sparing with this product. Keyena-type protective insoles can be a good investment.

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.
