The lacing and tongue on the Elite 9 are very thin and low profile which makes this shoe feel like a racing flat even more. It does fit true to fit, and this dialed in fit is aided by a notched inner sleeve that works as a mid-foot wrap or sock liner. I find that the Flywire on this shoe isn’t nearly as constricting as it can be on other Nike shoes, and the forefoot of the Elite 9 is actually fairly wide. The upper is seamless throughout and uses Nike’s Flywire and Flymesh throughout the upper. Runners have described the upper fit of the Elite 9 as racing flat-esque, but I don’t consider the fit nearly as hemmed in as most racing flats. Even on mellow trails the Duration was able to fight off sharp rocks that would poke through the midsole in almost every other road shoe on the market. It doesn’t have the clunky feel of heavy carbon outsole rubber, and it lasts. Throughout the outsole Nike uses Duralon, a thin layer of blown rubber, over the entire outsole to improve ride durability of the shoe. Zoom Air is also incredibly durable and holds up great in Nike’s trail shoe the Terra Tiger 3. It provides low profile, racing style shoes, with enough forgiveness to act as everyday high mileage trainers, while also providing racing flats and lightweight trainers with enough protection to hold up for the marathon.
” (Zoom Air is) Tightly stretched tensile fibers are knit inside a pressurized Nike Air unit, giving the Zoom Air cushioning its snappy responsiveness.Įach time an athlete’s foot touches down, the fibers compress to cushion the impact before quickly springing back to their original state, generating an explosive, powerful response off the ground.”Īll I know is that I’ve loved Zoom Air since it debuted almost twenty years ago. To fully understand a Zoom Air unit, I’ll defer to Nike’s website: Hey guys! Today we have a budget model from Nike – The Nike Zoom Live 2017.A Zoom Air Unit, consisting of a small pressurized bag of air, offers a low profile and unnoticeable responsive cushioning system. Now, most people are looking at expensive signature sneakers and not paying attention to budget models, so sad. Of course, the majority of signature shoes do perform better, BUT there are some surprisingly great team models with low price and even better performance, I call them UNDERDOGS.
Welcome to my Nike Zoom Live Performance Review! Let’s see if the Nike Zoom Live 2017 is worth a look. The Nike Zoom 2017 upper is covered with mesh & nylon combo. Nothing special but it gets the job done really well, I had no complains. The upper felt soft and comfortable, great feet containment and surprisingly solid lockdown. In addition, materials on the Zoom Live are durable enough to last long and maybe a great model for outdoors. High- wear areas are covered with fuse overlays to protect mesh upper and add more durability. In result, you’re getting very nice comfort feel, soft & durable materials, no restrictive or too hard areas and zero break in time, just for $100… Amazing. We have The Zoom Air unit in forefoot area surrounded with Phylon. If you are a big fan of low profile cushion tooling and solid court feel then you will love these. Now, the heel area doesn’t feature Zoom Air unit, but Phylon performed not so bad at all. You are still getting some impact protection and comfort feel to go with. As you already know, I like bouncy and very responsive cushion setups, but you know what? For some reason this cushion setup performed great for me, I don’t know how but it did. So for those like me, I highly recommend to try these. The Zoom Live 2017 has dense multi-directional traction pattern. From the first sight this pattern looks very aggressive and it performs just like that.
