NIKE zoom air, first released in 1995 and is made from strong tensiles of fabric that are bound to the top and bottom of plastic air units – creating a thin but springy sole, considered an ideal combination by many professional basketball players. over the last two decades NIKE have continued to develop zoom air, with notable design advances coming by way of the lebron signature series – for example the lebron 10 was the first to feature a full-length, visible NIKE zoom unit. but while the soft bouncy feel of the sole has been widely celebrated some players felt the sole didn’t offer enough flexibility for the quick changes in direction made while playing Adidas NMD Dames basketball.
Enter hexagonal NIKE zoom air – which made its debut on the recently unveiled NIKE lebron 12 Nike Air Max 90 Dames shoes. with this new approach to zoom air NIKE are cutting the sole into hexagonal sections. this allows for the same springy NIKE zoom air sole, but with greater flexibility, which gives more stability to the wearer when making those quick cuts on the court.
How hexagonal NIKE zoom air works the hexagonal sectioning not only offers more flexibility but it also makes for a lighter shoe. the modular nature also allows Adidas NMD Womens NIKE designers to use pressure mapping and sport-specific impact data to place the zoom cushioning where it best serves the athlete – the forefoot. the focus for maximum cushioning typically was in the heel but this new application serves the athlete who spends more time pivoting and exploding during intense exercises.
NIKE has noted that athletes will also benefit Adidas ZX Flux Damen Schwarz from the new technology during training drills and in addition to being used on the lebron 12, hexagonal NIKE zoom air has also been implemented to NIKE’s latest training shoes: the NIKE zoom hypercross trainer and the NIKE zoom fit agility (both shown below).
because of the powerful, intense way lebron plays basketball he really pushes his shoe to the limit. the feedback and data we got from him when we started designing the lebron 12 was that he wanted the same, snappy, low profile cushioning that the zoom offers but with greater flexibility for quick cuts and powerful drives.
our goal was to break the cushioning down into sections that could be tailored to the information we got back from foot pressure maps and other data from the NSRL [NIKE sports research lab]. a big challenge came in developing an outsole that accommodated the zoom air pads – we couldn’t just ‘butter over them’ with rubber – we needed to work hard to find Adidas ZX Flux Dames a solution where you still let you feel the benefits of Adidas Superstar Femme zoom air, but at the same time allow for the deep grooves that provide the improved articulation. for me, the way the sole fits together has been one of the most satisfying aspects of developing hexagonal NIKE zoom air.’
