Coming to the upper, we see a highly breathable Flymesh upper. Not only the upper is highly breathable, but also offers amazing levels of lightweight stability. Like other Nike shoes such as Nike Vomero 10, we see strategically placed Dynamic Flywire cables in the midfoot area that provide unmatched support. We also see an internal heel counter that envelops the rearfoot with a great advantage. This makes sure that your strides are always top-notch. On the inside of the shoe, an EVA sock-liner offers enhanced comfort. We see a much-improved fit for an inner sleeve placed in the midfoot and the forefoot area. Asymmetrical lacing system ensures that there is just the right amount of lace pressure.

The midsole area of the Air Zoom Elite 8 houses Zoom Air cushioning. Zoom Air is one of the best cushioning systems available in the running shoe industry. Zoom Air provides an ultralight and super responsive cushioning. To add to this, Nike placed Phylon foam in whole of the midsole area. The resilience levels of the Phylon foam are amazing. On the cushioning part, this shoe is brilliant. Your foot strike landing will also be a lot smoother, thanks to the unique heel design of the shoe.

We see good traction levels with the Air Zoom Elite 8. Environmentally preferred rubber in the heel area is ideal for multiple terrain. Duralon blown rubber in the forefoot area offers superior cushioning. Expect smoother transitions with tactically placed lateral crash rails on the outsole. For the icing on the cake, Nike placed Waffle design on the outsole. This trademark Nike design should offer ample traction on multiple surfaces.
