A good match for the beginning to intermediate level sprinter, the Nike Zoom Rival S 8 mixes value with performance. A lightweight mesh upper provides a secure mid-foot lock-down while an aggressive 7 pin spike plate offers unrelenting grip on the track.
Midsole
Phylon Wedge is a thin foam piece in the heel for lightweight, resilient cushioning.
Upper
Lightweight mesh comprises the upper for lightweight breathability.
Synthetic Leather overlays crisscross the upper to provide a secure fit.
Dynamic Support Strap wraps around the midfoot, keeping the foot secure and supported.
Slip Lasting involves wrapping and stitching the upper in a bootie-like shape before attaching the upper to the midsole, which helps promote flexibility and decreases weight.
Outsole
Pebax Plate at the forefoot is a stiff polymer plate for increased propulsion.
Rubber Outsole extends from the heel to the Pebax plate and is textured for additional grip.
