Nike Air Span+ 6: Women’s
An ultra-light, yet ultra-strong Flywire panel along the lateral quarter works with an adjustable dynamic fit arch strap along the medial side for great lock down and a snug, secure fit.
Cushlon ST midsole delivers plush, resilient cushioning while enhancing support for overpronating runners who benefit from a more stable platform.
Full-length Nike Air unit delivers the ride and cushioning associated with the Air Pegasus franchise and now accommodates a Nike+ sensor for an enhanced running experience.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Updates include:
- A new, Flywire upper construction
- A new, plush, yet responsive Cushlon ST midsole
- A new, full-length Nike Air unit, the next-generation of Natural Motion Engineering principles, and, it’s over 7% lighter than its predecessor!
- UPPER New, women’s-specific QE-17 (Pegasus Fit) last accommodates the distinct shape of the female foot. Now shallower across the toe-box to reduce volume in the forefoot. Large expanses of open mesh enhance comfort and breathability.
- An ultra-light, yet ultra-strong Flywire panel along the lateral quarter works with an adjustable dynamic fit arch strap along the medial side for great, customized lock down over the footbed and a snug, secure fit.
Reflective elements on the toe box and heel help provide visibility in low-light conditions. Molded EVA sockliner features gender-specific Heel Cradle geometry to boost comfort and support.
MIDSOLE Next-generation application of Natural Motion Engineering principles, which includes support under the cuboid and along the first met-head and encourages a more naturally neutral, efficient stride.
Gender-specific crash pad is highly de-coupled and articulated to help absorb shock of impact and reduce both the range and rate of pronation before midstance.
Cushlon ST midsole delivers plush, resilient cushioning while enhancing support for overpronating runners who benefit from a more stable platform. Full-length Nike Air unit delivers the ride and long-lasting cushioning associated with the Air Pegasus franchise and now accommodates a Nike+ sensor for an enhanced running experience.
A small medial post of higher density foam works with the shoe’s supportive upper and arch bridge midfoot shank to reduce excessive pronation through midstance without sacrificing a smooth transition. Arch bridge midfoot shank adds support under the medial arch, while also allowing a degree of torsional flex to unlock the foot’s natural stabilizing mechanisms and encourage a smooth, efficient stride.
OUTSOLE Highly-abrasion-resistant BRS 1000 carbon rubber under the crash pad adds durability at a key wear zone.
Environmentally-preferred rubber in a Waffle outsole configuration provides exceptional multi-surface traction and durability, along with a measure of added cushioning.
Deep flex grooves improve flexibility and help deliver a smoother, more seamless transition from heel strike through toe-off.
