In recent times, the Vaporfly series has been nothing short of controversial, especially since Eliud Kipchoge and co. The Maxfly is far from the first time Nike’s most advanced running shoes have drawn the world’s attention. And it may not be obvious on this white upper, but there is a small heat-welded overlay on the toe bumper and heel counter for extra durability, plus a small degree of water resistance – sometimes it gets wet on the track, after all. The uppers are made from Flyweave, a computerised manufacturing method Nike have used since 2015 that is capable of tuning woven fabric for higher durability and/or breathability while using the least amount of material possible to keep weight down.
For Tokyo, the ‘Rawdacious’ white, ‘Volt’, crimson, and pink Nike Air Zoom Maxfly was optimised for short distance track events between 100 and 400 metres, though US middle-distance runner Clayton Murphy has also been spotted using them for the 800 metres.Įvery single component of the Maxfly is the most advanced expression of Nike technology so far. The Olympics have traditionally been the launchpad for sports brands to showcase their latest and greatest performance products across all disciplines.
