Soccer-inspired style hits the street with the Nike Free HyperVenom III Flyknit Shoe, featuring lightweight, breathable fabric, a supportive cuff and flexible cushioning. BENEFITS Jacquard upper for breathable comfort Flyknit cuff wraps the ankle for a locked-in feel Asymmetrical lacing reduces pressure on the top of the foot Foam cushioning for lightweight comfort Hexagonal flex grooves allow natural movement Rubber outsole for durable traction Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners seeking a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability—all in one layer—was refined. The result is a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless upper. This unprecedented precision maximizes performance while reducing material waste by an average of 60% compared to traditional cut and sew, saving millions of pounds of material from reaching landfills.
