Just a few 'FYI' things(take it however you want) that are good to know or have been asked a few times.
Our designers, engineers, scientists, testers, EKINS, etc. don't like the use of the word "bubble" to describe our Air Units. It is not a"bubble". A bubble is what you blow from chewing gum. It is called an Air Unit. With respect to their college degrees in various sciences, hard work,and countless hours of research, we prefer to use the proper name when referring to our Air Units.(Encapsulated Air, Visible Air, Tuned Air, Max Air,Tube Air, Blow Molded Air, Zoom Air) Thanks!
Caged Zoom Air is thicker than Zoom Air - it's 13 millimeters to be exact - and wider than a regular Zoom Air unit. Foundin a "heel only" configuration. Debuted in 2003.
There are three main types of cross training shoes: Sport Training, Fitness Training, and Life.
Nike Pro is a category of performance athletic apparel that uses Nike apparel technologies, not a technology itself. There are three kinds ofNike Pro garments: Nike Pro Tight, Nike Pro Vent, and Nike Pro Thermal.
Nike eyewear, or Nike Vision, falls into three basic groups: Performance, Active, andPrescription or Rx.
Nike Timing products are divided into three categories as well: Performance, Active, and Monitoring.
If the name does not have 'AIR' in it, it doesn't have any Air cushioning in the midsole whatsoever. Some people are confusedabout that.
If you've ever wondered what the 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 7.0 stand for in the Nike FREE, here's the explanation. If beingbarefoot is a 0, and wearing shoes is a 10, the number corresponds to where the shoe stands on that scale. Obviously the lower numbers are closer to a"barefoot feeling".
There have been more questions asked, but these are the only ones that I can remember at this time. Sorry.
