The new Nike Zoom Victory Spikes are getting a great deal of media coverage. Weighing in at just over 90 grams, these will be the lightest track spikes ever worn at any Olympic games. They are even lighter than Michael Johnson’s famed gold spikes worn in the 1996 Atlanta games which reportedly weighed in at 116 grams. Here is a recent new article out of South Africa about the Nike Zoom Victory Spikes with Nike Flywire technology:

“Any serious runner will tell you how essential it is to have a pair of trainers that not only fit well but are light on the foot.

Now imagine a paper-thin shoe no more than two microns thick. This is what Nike has created in the form of the Lunar Trainer and the Nike Zoom Victory Spike, which feature flywire and lunar foam technology.

The flywire is a material supported by high-tensile threads. Lunar foam has resulted in Nike’s lightest weight and most responsive cushioning material to date. The foam distributes force across the foot and protects it from injury and pain with every footfall.

The Zoom Victory Spike weighs 93g, making it the lightest spike ever produced. It makes the runner feel as though they have nothing on their feet. The spikes are manufactured to give maximum balance, support and flexibility while running.

The Lunar Trainer is the creation of one of Nike’s resident designers, Kevin Hoffer, who wanted to create a cushioning system as revolutionary as Bill Bowerman’s Waffle sole, which was described by runner Geoff Hollister as “running on pillows”.

As if the spikes and trainers could not get any better, one has the pleasure of having them in funky and sassy colours such as red and lime.”

Nike Flywire publicity is growing! This is going to be HUGE. The Nike flywire track shoes have been given a great deal of visibility, second only to Kobe and his Hyperdunk flywire shoes. Check out this article by crave:

“Major sportswear maker Nike looks set to steal the limelight at this year’s summer Olympics with its latest innovation, the Flywire track shoes. The company will supply the US track and field team with two Flywire footwear, the Zoom Victory Spikes (top left image) and Zoom Matumbo (bottom left).

Already creating quite a buzz in the industry with its revolutionary lightweight construction, the Flywire design is said to be inspired by the cables from a suspension bridge. It basically makes use of a strong Vectran thread arranged in a fan-shaped pattern at anchor points around the shoe. The result is a shoe that is extremely light, yet reportedly cheap and easy to manufacture.

But, just how light are the new Flywire track shoes? The Zoom Matumbo will be Nike’s lightest distance track shoes at about 96.3g per pair, while the Zoom Victory Spikes for middle distance events like the 800m and 5,000m will weigh just 90.7g. For the record, Michael Johnson’s famed pair of golden track shoes at the 1996 Atlanta Games tipped the scales at about 112g, which is lightweight even by today’s standards.

Nike has made the Flywire technology available commercially with the recent launch of its Flywire series of running shoes in the US. The company also plans to release the track shoes to consumers later in October. ”

Nike Hyperdunk “Black Out” with Nike Flywire technology.   Get these right here on July 26th.  See the Buy Shoes Here links on the right side of this page.

You gotta love Hollywood.  Although Kobe Bryant probably didn’t actually jump over a moving Aston Martin, he probably did jump the height of a Aston Martin in his new Nike Hyperdunk shoes with Flywire technology.  Pretty impressive!

I just came across this story about the great new Nike shoe technology code named flywire!  Flywire will revolutionize all sporting shoes for years to come.  From track and field to basketball to tennis and much more!

“Flywire, which will debut at the Beijing Games, uses only the barest exoskeleton of wispy, high-tech filaments — roughly 7 linear feet of thread, affixed to an ultrathin fabric scrim — to provide its structure and shape (think of a space-age Roman sandal). With the usual need for supporting material reduced almost to zero, the shoe is not only featherlight, but also radically simple, fast, and cheap to build. So while it promises to improve racing performance, it also hints at dramatically lower production costs for everyday shoes — a construction technique that springs directly from a designer’s imagination, flows through a computer chip, then flowers in three dimensions in a matter of seconds. “It opens up new frontiers,” says Jay Meschter, Flywire’s lead designer. “Analog stitching is gone. This is a digitally programmed shoe. Everybody realizes this is a smarter way to build shoes, and it’s just going to pervade everything we do.”
