Imagine paper thin running shoes, all its support only from thin lines, which is revolutionary technology Nike Flywire.

The working principle of the high strength thin wire is exactly the same as that of the suspension bridge, providing precise support for the necessary parts of the foot.

With the help of Flywire technology, Nike has been able to create the lightest and strongest sports shoes in history, minimizing the fabric needed for the shoe, thus changing the engineering design of the sports shoes.

Thanks to this initiative, the weight of running shoes with some Flywire technology has been less than 100 grams, which is an unprecedented weight. Even so, running shoes still retain their characteristics of durability, integrity and solid support.

When Asafa Powell saw his long-distance runners wearing the new Zoom Victory track spikes less than 100 grams, he could not help asking whether Nike designers could make a sprint spikes.

Nike sports research laboratory conducted 3D scan on Powell's foot to design the fit of running shoes.

The location of the Vectran fiber was adjusted accordingly, because Powell's strength was concentrated on his toes in his schedule of less than 10 seconds.

In short, the Flywire structure of Aerofly provides 65 support strands for each foot.

In addition, the shoe collar adopts a new lightweight and convex flap technology.

The soft convex flap fills the space between the calcaneus and the ankles, ensuring that the feet are fixed on the shoe plates.

The details of the running shoes include the aerodynamic design of the vamp. The design has undergone a rigorous wind tunnel test and has greatly reduced the resistance because Powell's leg swing speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour.

The weight of Aerofly running shoes is only 186 grams, which is about 25% lighter than that of ordinary sprint.
