The Nike Zoom Air is a cushioning system designed for explosive players who like to feel close to the ground. Incredibly thin, the Zoom Air has been developed to reduce the distance between the foot and the ground for optimum court feel. This relationship to the floor means you'll feel safer and more at ease when you take your first step. The addition of Air guarantees excellent shock absorption during jumps and strides. It's the little extra that lets you play an aggressive game without neglecting comfort on every touchdown or landing.
The Nike Zoom Air has properties that guarantee incisive support, a feeling of security and good cushioning for all your movements. In short, it's an excellent compromise for players who want responsive cushioning that lets them feel close to the floor and take full advantage of their speed without neglecting shock absorption.
The Nike Zoom Air can be found on Nike signature models such as the KD 8, Nike Kobe 11 or Nike Lebron 13, as well as on unsigned shoes such as the Hyperdunk or Hyperrev.
