Each side of the shoe has a chamber, with the designs showing the four chambers stacked in a 2x2 formation. However, Nike allowed for the chambers to be replaced with foam blocks—only the bottom two chambers are visible in Kipchoge’s shoe, so it may contain two chambers and two foam blocks, or the top two chambers might be hidden behind ZoomX foam.
Those vertical pillars represent the tensile strands within the fluid-filled chambers. This sketch has four chambers, but other sketches included a top layer of foam blocks and a bottom layer of fluid-filled chambers and vice-versa.Next, let’s talk plates. We can’t be certain that they’re made of carbon fiber, but Nike’s “maybe they are, maybe they aren’t” legalese makes us believe they’re carbon.
Like the Next%, a carbon plate splits the midsole. Unlike the Next%, there’s a carbon plate atop the midsole and one just above the outsole, too.Nike explains the kinetics of the cushioning system like this: As the shoe touches down, the bottom plate distributes the force across the first layer of cushioning . That force is taken up by the middle plate, and transferred upward to the second layer of cushioning and eventually to the top plate.
fkariuki EliudKipchoge Well, you have discovered a hidden electric motor in the soles? now that you know it, get your pair and break his sub 2 hr time.
EliudKipchoge If I had a pair, I would still run 10:00 per mile
EliudKipchoge You Jealous? Smh
conquerruncrew EliudKipchoge I would definitely cover 42 km in under 2 hours wearing those. Whilst driving the car.
EliudKipchoge That's an interesting design, and it looks to be geared towards runners that land on the mid/fore foot rather than the heel, meaning that this shoe may not be any faster for runners that land on the heel... Nike's core base 😏
EliudKipchoge I hear they only last around 4 races 🤷♂️ which is ok when your an elite runner who has to many pairs to choose from for free 😁 unlike jo public who has to around £200 a pair
EliudKipchoge 3 carbon plates with 2 air sacks. Getting a little outta hand
EliudKipchoge Looks like Hokas
EliudKipchoge Uh-oh. Now you've done it.
tomforemancnn EliudKipchoge Killjoys ;)
EliudKipchoge Those are fucking stupid sexy
