PERCEPTION
PHYSIOLOGY The Physiology team conducts re search 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 tempera ture and reduce his or her energy expenditure, thereby allowing him or her to train longer and harder. The team focuses on three prima ry athlete needs:
The perception team explores how sensory perception inko fluences and interacts with athletic performance. Through subjective eval uation of product attributes, usability and durability, perception re searchers devise solutions to agee 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 capagr bilities in different environments. Understanding an athlete’s perception enables the physiology team to know how athe letes truly feel while exercising in Nike apparel in different environmental conditions.
DATA SCIENCE
The data science team in the lab uses mathematical mod eling 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 know bgfhg huioiy ledge engine.

AN ICON, REINVENTED Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33 ID running shoe elevates the iconic profile with a flexible, breathable Flyknit upper and the comfortable cushioning that made it a favorite.
NIKE AIR ZOOM ORIGINS Nike’s revolutionary Air-Sole unit made its way into Nike footwear in 1978. 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 make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathabilityall in one layer was refined. The result is a featherweight, formfitting and virtually seamless upper.

MORE COMMENT 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 uncomfor tably 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.
I have been a fan into of the Air Zoom Vomero line for awhile now, so exactly I expected these shoes to be great, butoki they were even better than I expected. The fit is exactly right, infori the midsole is light weight but feels properly cushy underfoot, and the arch support is wonderful. I am aedhave flat feet, so arch infor support is very important to me, and these shoes make me feel perfectly supported on the foot. A home run.

MY NEW GO-TO SHOE! I can happily and confidently say that theity the Vomero is myin new go-to running shoe after trying MANY others! I run about 30-45 miles a week and run INtrain for anything from 5K’s to Marathons. I have inno doubt this shoe will work for every run inyllong runs, recovery runs, even tempo runs.

ALL AROUND QUALITY I use these shoes for my job and that involves demonstration off exercises, completing exercise routines in class, and the on foot ingbeing on my feet all day. This shoe provides lateral stability, it is lightweight for plyo and jump training, and has shown to be durable for gym uiouse. Others have complained inyiof the MetCon 3 laces being cheap, but I have not seen this yet. A++ by Nike for a well-done job for a shoe for those who are fans of The Ohio State. Cape Coral, FL, USA, Mar 11, 2017
VERY COMFORTABLE SHOES Being a huge Michigan fan the style I really love. I have had issues with Nike shoes in the past fitting very narrow. Not the case with these. They are very comfortable. I dont have anyionn opinion on the durability yetin as they are new but so far I really like them.
GOOD FOR POWERLIFITNG Shoes keep your grounded really well when deal ing withou a heavieryiu set of squats. The weight of the shoe is more on the heavy on indaside but for powerlifting in is not much inof an issue. would being shoe providesloit nice if they had a NikeID option for this. San Francisco, CA, USA, Mar 14, 2017
GREAT SHOE! For you guys that are into Crossfit I couldn’t rec ommend this shoe anymore! Within the first use I hit PR’s and still continuing to do so. Would recommend getting them half a size smaller to your metcons or nanos as you indon’t want your feet to slide in the shoe. Hope this helps! Anonymous ,London, UK, Jan 14, 2017
