NIKE Zoom: a technology that revolutionized running

NIKE Zoom is a revolutionary cushioning technology developed, patented and continuously enhanced by NIKE, which is used in various sports shoes from the label. Football and basketball shoes, for example, benefit from NIKE Zoom. However, the invention celebrates its greatest successes in the field of running. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or professional, sprinter or marathon runner, city or trail runner: With Zoom from NIKE you will experience a fantastically light, springy running feeling, because the highly reactive cushioning system not only absorbs the impact energy of the foot, but also returns it when the foot then pushes off the ground. The technology is based on compressed air chambers with highly tensioned synthetic fibres. Immediately after touching the ground, the shoes return to their original shape. NIKE Zoom relieves the strain on muscles, tendons and joints and supports you in increasing your pace and improving performance.

NIKE Zoom: a successful combination of comfort and style

Top athletes like Eliud Kipchoge, Olympic marathon champion and world record holder in the 5,000-meter run, ran his fastest times in NIKE Zoom shoes. And although not all of us were born to be world champions, these high-performance running shoes can also provide effective support to amateur athletes in achieving their running goals. The large selection of Zoom models from NIKE makes it possible to choose the right sports shoe for every training level. There are also stylish leisure sneakers in the collection – for example the NIKE Zoom 2k, which bank on a futuristic design with strong colour contrasts, lateral wings and a distinctive sole set, without compromising the comfort that is Zoom's trademark. The cult sneaker is of course available as both a women's and a men's shoe – a feel-good and eye-catching guarantee included.

Zoom by NIKE – functional footwear for ambitious runners over all distances

Back to the performance models: The NIKE Air Zoom collections combine the advantages of zoom technology with the benefits of the NIKE Air system – the result is running shoes that make your training more effective and your competitions more successful. The best-known representative is the NIKE Air Zoom Pegasus, which will celebrate its 37th anniversary in 2020 and continue the success story with the NIKE Air Zoom Pegasus 37 release. A large air element in the forefoot area and a particularly light midsole made of NIKE React foam, which promises both reliable and responsive cushioning, have been combined here. Breathable mesh inserts, a hard-wearing rubber outsole and optional features such as a zip on the FlyEase equipment make this trend-setting training shoe perfect. Speaking of the future: With the even lighter and more reactive NIKE ZoomX foam, NIKE Zoom has already entered the next dimension of running.
