Nike's New Apex Racers Feature Four Air Zoom Units For Maximum Energy Return

Times of India · business

Nike's upcoming Apex marathon racer, launching in January 2027, will feature four Air Zoom units in its forefoot, the most ever used by the company. This innovation builds on Nike's extensive research into Air technology, aiming to provide superior energy return and cushioning. The new units utilize tensile fibers acting as tethers, allowing for higher pressurization and reduced weight through advanced radio-frequency welding. This design, combined with a zero-drop sole and a carbon-fiber plate, promises enhanced propulsion and stability for runners.
