The gym is home to incremental improvements. The athlete always strives to do just one more squat or one more box jump. The extra effort necessary to better one’s personal bests can be difficult to generate, especially at the end of a long, gruelling training session.
The Nike Zoom Fit Agility is designed with that athlete insight in mind. It features highly responsive Nike Zoom Air, which helps put an extra spring in the female athlete’s step. Armed with this responsiveness, she will welcome rather than worry about her workout’s final burpee.
In Nike Zoom Air, tightly stretched tensile fibres are woven inside a pressurized Nike Air unit. Upon impact, these fibres release their tension and then snap back to their original state. This generates ideal responsiveness for athletes looking to quickly navigate each step of their workouts.
However, traditional Nike Zoom applications often don’t provide the flexibility that female athletes demand in the gym. To solve for this, designers broke the Nike Zoom Air in the Nike Zoom Fit Agility into independent air bags, allowing the shoe to flex in multiple directions. Each bag is placed in hexagonal rubber pods and strategically positioned where the female athlete needs cushioning most.
