Nike Air Zoom LJ Elite We geared these ultra-lightweight long-jumping shoes to reach new heights. More bounce and stability help give you the speed you need as you reach liftoff. Plus, we've got you covered with an adjustable cross strap for a secure fit. So, fasten in and get ready to fly to your personal best. This electric design is inspired by the soul and rebellious spirit of Eugene, Oregon, where contenders from all over the world test themselves against the globe’s greatest athletes. Springier Steps A Zoom Air unit at the forefoot gives you a light, responsive bounce when your foot connects to the track. Its wider design combines with a carbon fiber plate and underfoot flex grooves for a propulsive and stable feel as you take off down the runway. Excellent Grip The outsole combines 6 spikes and a shockwave pattern that's designed from athlete data, adding extra traction where you need it most. A sharkskin heel pattern gives you better hold on multiple surfaces. With this much grip, you'll feel confident and safe from takeoff through landing. Secure Fit and Feel The cross strap is designed for easy on and off, so you can adjust the fit between jumps. More Benefits Lightweight, woven fabric at the forefoot gives you optimal breathability. Thick, compressive molded heel foam adds cushioning specifically designed for the needs of the long-jump athlete. Perforations around the heel help reduce weight and increase ventilation.
