Nike Air Zoom Type N.354 “Menta” makes you feel how cool it is to step on 4 air cushions!
This morning, Air Jordan Shoes 2020 Nike’s official website ushered in the “life version” N.354 Air Zoom Type, its strongest running shoe Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%. If Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% was born for professional players to break the record, then the positioning of Nike N.354 Air Zoom Type is also very clear, and it came to the name of “pressure road god shoes”. Compared to Nike Air Force 270 shoes, you may be more curious about what N.354 specifically means? In fact, N.354 is named after the record of 1 mile, 3 minutes, 54 seconds set by American long-distance runner Steve Prefontaine, and N stands for Nike. Not only is he the most famous long-distance runner in American history, he was also a disciple of Nike Bowelman coach (Bill Bowerman) during college. In the early days of Nike’s founding, whenever Bill Ballman designed new prototype running shoes, he handed them to “professional tester” Steve Plyfontein to the training ground for continuous running, feedback, and improvement. Over time, Plyfontaine became the most competent spokesperson for Nike running shoes, recommending new products to runners across the country.
So there are two meanings behind N.354. On the one hand, it is to commemorate the original prototype tester, on the other hand, it is to constantly innovate and try new breakthroughs. Back in 2019, after Kipjog completed the “Break Two” feat, Nike released the Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%, the strongest running shoe aimed at it. During the development process, Nike quietly did another test. Using modern technology to analyze and deconstruct the initial prototype of Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%, the testers can wear it in the city for 6 hours without fatigue.
In terms of appearance, you can clearly see the blood relationship between the two. The two striking Zoom Air cushions in the forefoot are exactly the same regardless of shape or size. The midsole uses double-layer foam and TPU stabilizers to replace the original ZoomX technology and carbon plates. Strive to reduce excessive forward propulsion and improve urban wear stability and comfort. The waffle outsole increases the rubber area and improves grip and wear resistance. However, the heel shoes are longer and harder. It is not recommended to wear socks to avoid grinding the Achilles tendon. The most obvious feeling is that the forefoot air cushion response is very obvious. In addition, the soft double-layer midsole is embedded with a full palm TPU stabilizer. It has soft elasticity during walking, and the overall balance is very good. It will not make you feel too high or roll.
With respect to the face value, it goes without saying that there is a shadow of the joint name of sacai, which is not only very recognizable, but also hides the enhancement effect. The upper decorated with deconstructed lines has large ventilation holes to ensure that it will not be too hot when worn for a long time. The details also add several silver reflective decorations, echoing the Swoosh and N.354 Logo inside and outside the shoe body, enriching the overall visual hierarchy. In general, the biggest surprise of this pair of N.354 Air Zoom Type is the evolution of foot feeling. In 2020, “Pressing the Road God Shoes” strongly recommends interested friends to go to the offline counter to try it on and experience it.
