Nike Ultrafly

The Nike Ultrafly running shoes are ready to take you to new heights on the trails. Nike has proven the ability to develop championship winning road running shoes. The learnings from this have carried across to the world of trail running. With a ZoomX midsole, carbon Flyplate and Vibram Litebase outsole, the Nike Ultrafly trail running shoes offer incredible levels of performance. If you’ve run in carbon plated Nike road running shoes before, you’ll know how fast they feel. For the first time, Nike has added a carbon fibre plate to a trail running shoe. As the carbon Flyplate is layered between ZoomX foam, you can expect the highest levels of energy return and cushioning. To ensure ZoomX foam can stand up to the tough demands of off-road runs, it’s wrapped in a protective knit fabric. ZoomX foam is particularly soft, so this offers enhanced protection from abrasive surfaces. This midsole combination is engineered for one purpose - to help you run faster. For the avoidance of doubt, the Nike Ultrafly trail running shoes are not for casual off-road runs. These are for competitions and races, when you’re trying to reach your absolute potential. Not only does the midsole propel you forward, it should help you save energy over the course of a run. Making them a particularly good option for ultra distance events, when you’re trying to push the pace for many hours. As trails are very rarely flat, and the surfaces are normally uneven, the midsole is engineered to deliver great stability. A flat bottom and minimised cross rocker optimises stability and offers great confidence on technical terrain. To further assist you in longer distance events, a heel-to-toe rocker smooths out transitions and aids forward momentum. Another piece of innovation we are very pleased to see is the inclusion of Vibram Litebase grip on the outsole. Vibram is widely regarded as one of the best outsole rubbers available, delivering industry-leading levels of traction on both wet and dry surfaces. The chevron lugs on the forefoot and heel face in opposing directions, with the benefit being that they improve grip on uphill and downhill sections. Finally, the Nike Ultrafly trail running shoes are completed with a Vaporweave upper. Known for being extremely light and breathable, this is the perfect partner to the performance focused midsole and outsole. At the same time, support has not been forgotten - a midfoot band ensures great support and lockdown in a critical area. If you’re looking to run personal bests in trail races and stand on the top step of the podium, the Nike Ultrafly trail running shoes are ready for the challenge.
