Nike’s waffle outsole
The undersurface uses Nike’s renowned Waffle Outsole for exceptional durability with Pressure Mapping points which help attenuate shock. Nike adds the flex grooves for flexibility while the new pods help with the cushioning duties of the midsole. The hexagonal treads offer multi-directional traction and work very well on a variety of road surfaces.
FS Lite Run 3 midsole
A molded and dual-density foam delivers the right balance of cushioning and responsiveness. As always, the softer layer sits on top of the firmer foam which provides the right mix. Nike’s own Phylon foam enhances the responsive features and durability of the midsole.
FS Lite Run 3's honeycomb mesh upper
A no-sew upper made of mesh and welded overlays deliver exceptional breathability and snug comfort. The Breathe Tech design integrates the side panels, the midsole foam, the overlays, and the mesh for support and a glove-like fit.
