History : Flyknit Racer : Racer('12)

DiamondFLX Technology™ : Designed to enhance multi-directional flexibility while providing a lightweight, low-profile fit. Strategically placed, diamond-shaped flex grooves offer the ideal amount of flexibility for training and enable the foot to move naturally in all directions, allowing for better balance, power and control.

Flywire : Is a thread, composed of Vectran, and developed by Nike, used in the upper of a shoe. The goal of Flywire is to minimize weight and maximize support.

Knit Construction : A seamless knit upper built from a single panel to provide a snug fit of a sock. It has a static properties for structure and durability with precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability, all in one layer. The result a featherweight, form-fitting and virtually seamless upper with benefits such as, Reflective elements for visibility in low light, Pull-tab on heel for easy on and off, Low-profile knit tongue for ventilation and comfort.

Phylon™, Midsole : Originally used in dolls, it is a heated and compressed EVA foam cushioning compound that is light, resilient and capable of giving a soft, smooth ride. As a bonus, it is non-yellowing and impervious to attack from water and microbial. What kind of dolls were they?

Waffle Sole : Design to provides a durable multi-surface traction.

Zoom Air®, Rearfoot : Two layers of nylon fabric, joined by densely packed fibers, are sealed inside polyurethane. The unit is inflated; pushing apart the fabric and creating tension on the fibers. What does that mean? Zoom Air works by using stress of the shoe's wearer, absorbing it, and refracting the same stress which helps the Zoom insert retain its shape and buoyancy, allowing for quick responsiveness in performance venues, the result is a low-to-the-ground, hyper-responsive speed cushioning you can feel. And it does it in less space than other Air-Sole units.
