The seamless land directly above the midsole (part of the toe cap area) is reminiscent of the original Air Max 1. Lightweight and flexible Ultra Touring is used to enhance comfort.

Flyknit technology is a breakthrough technology that reduces waste by 60% compared to traditional cut-and-sew methods and allows each stitch in the shoe upper to maximize performance. Flyknit technology has reduced waste by nearly 3.5 million pounds since 2012. It is also highly regarded for its functionality for athletes, and more athletes will be wearing Nike Flyknit at this summer’s Games than ever before.
