What is Nike Flywire?

Have you ever seen shoes with these striking lines in sneakers stores and wonder what are they?

It is Nike Flywire, a Tech for giving support to your shoes in light weight. It is engineered in the upper of the shoe to make the shoes wrap your foot tight. You can see the Flywire on the side of the upper (the lines that extend from the lace hole to the out sole).

They are cool right? But in fact there are more than just a design, they are some kind of thin cable which they call filament. The idea of it is like Suspension bridge as you can see. when the lace is tied up the upper shoes will fully hug the feet where the wire is attached to the out sole.

Light Weight Support, this is what we can get from this technology. Light wight has become a dimension that is heavily demanded recently. The traditional way of support is increased at the cost of weight but for Nikewire the job is done by this cable so lighter material can be used to make the upper of the shoes and therefore the shoes become lighter. Just like what Kobe says "Speed is Light weight"

I guess now you can take this into consideration for purchase
