PERCEPTION PHYSIOLOGY The Physiology team conducts research with the goal of creating footwear and apparel solutions that enhance athlete performance. The goal of this research is to create footwear and apparel solutions that lower an athlete’s body temperature and reduce his or her energy expenditure, thereby allowing him or her to train longer and harder. The team focuses on three primary athlete needs:
The perception team explores how sensory perception influences and interacts with athletic performance. Through subjective evaluation of product attributes, usability and durability, perception researchers devise solutions to age-old questions like “How can I run faster?” and “How can I jump higher?” The perception team works closely with the physiology team to understand athletes’ opinion of a garment’s general comfort, thermal comfort and moisture management capabilities in different environments. Understanding an athlete’s perception enables the physiology team to know how athletes truly feel while exercising in Nike apparel in different environmental conditions.
DATA SCIENCE The data science team in the lab uses mathematical modeling and prediction of the complex interaction of athletes and Nike products. The five key areas of research include data mining, mathematical modeling, data standardization, data storage solutions and knowledge engine.

ULTRALIGHT ICON
The world’s most popular Air Max gets reinvented in the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra 2.0 Flyknit Women’s Shoe, with a lighter and softer-than-ever feel thanks to the flexibility of Flyknit and ultralight dual-density cushioning.
FLEXIBLE FIT
Lightweight Flyknit combines areas of stretch, support and breathability where you need them most for an ultra-comfortable fit.
ULTRALIGHT CUSHIONING
Dual-density foam offers plush cushioning while reducing the shoe’s overall weight. A visible Max Air unit in the heel creates a fast, springy feel.
NIKE AIR MAX ORIGINS
Nike’s revolutionary Air-Sole unit made its way into Nike footwear in the late ‘70s. In 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 debuted with visible air in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air-Sole comfort—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Nike Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
FLYKNIT ORIGINS
Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners seeking a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to eathability—all in one layer—was refined. The result is a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless uppervirtually seamless upper.

GREAT SHOE, BEWARE OF COLOR
BEST VOMEROS EVER
I purchased the “Hot Punch” color, which looked like a bright coral color. First things first, the Vomero 12. It’s an excellent shoe! Light, flexible and amazing cushioning. The fit was true to size as my usual athletic shoe size fit well. I have wide feet and while these did accommodate my feet, they ever so slightly pressed across my toes when I stood on my tippy toes, or otherwise exaggerated a bend on the foot. The bend there, around the toes was only very slightly uncomfortably snug. Not enough for me to exchange for a wide however, yet still worth a mention to be thorough. The padding is excellent. I didn’t find the tongue overly thick as others disliked from the Vomero 11. These were honestly a solid choice. I did not test them on a run because, despite the shoe fitting well, I knew I would be returning them. Now, on to color....the Hot Punch is an extremely bright neon, almost highlighter orange looking color. Not nearly as appealing as it looks online. At a size 9.5, you can see me coming a mile away with these. They seemed to really “highlight” my big feet. They simply did not appeal to me, on my feet. Otherwise, definitely worth trying a different color. MMelvin, Mar 15, 2017
I have been a fan of the Air Zoom Vomero line for awhile now, so I expected these shoes to be great, but they were even better than I expected. The fit is exactly right, the midsole is lightweight but feels properly cushy underfoot, and the arch support is wonderful. I have flat feet, so arch support is very important to me, and these shoes make me feel perfectly supported. A home run. Portland, Jan 18, 2017
MY NEW GO-TO SHOE! I can happily and confidently say that the Vomero is my new go-to running shoe after trying MANY others! I run about 30-45 miles a week and run/train for anything from 5K’s to Marathons. I have no doubt this shoe will work for every run - long runs, recovery runs, even tempo runs. Dallas, TX, USA, Jan 25, 2017
