Incorporating Nike's traditional functionality, Zoom Air. Zoom Air is a unit that increases pressure inside the sole and is made thin. The unit has fibers connecting the top and bottom, and just as the air unit deforms upon landing, these fibers also deform and then quickly return to their original shape. This provides responsiveness and quick reaction. Since Zoom Air is built into the forefoot, it is designed to easily reach top speeds and has been a popular air unit since 1995.
Of course, as these are hockey shoes, the toe is thickened to reduce impact on the toes. The studs on the sole are numerous and scattered to accommodate the agility specific to hockey, allowing for flexible running. The heel area uses highly cushioned foam to reduce strain on the lower back and knees.
