Admittedly, on first wear, this shoe feels strange. These three components give you a high-cushion feel without a high stack height. The midsole is a combination of ZoomX foam (the same foam found in Nike’s road shoes), a carbon plate and a version of Nike’s air bags.

The laces aren’t a part of the upper I usually touch on, but the Victory’s are particularly well done.

I found the upper extremely comfortable and it fit my foot perfectly. When you pick up this shoe, it’s feather-light, it’s am-I-actually-holding-a-shoe light.

The upper is made of Nike’s Atomknit, and it is their lightest upper yet.
