Inspired by Japan's Ekiden relay runners, the Nike Zoom Rival Fly 2 shoes have a futuristic appearance with responsive cushioning in the forefoot. The flexible grooves in the sole enhance the stages of the stride, while the soft foam provides cushioning and comfort. The mesh and synthetic upper ensures durability and airflow.

• Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for high response and propulsion with each step
• Soft foam cushioning in the bottom of the footbed
• Flexible grooves that allow the foot to move freely and provide good grip when the forefoot lifts off the ground
• Small protrusions with a wave-like pattern for better grip at the appropriate points
• Combination of mesh and synthetic material in the upper for airflow
• Internal strap around the midfoot for greater stability while running
• Rubber cushioning pad in the heel to absorb shocks
