For the first time in their off-road range, Nike has incorporated not only a carbon plate but also Vibram technology in the outsole for superior propulsion, control, and grip. The Nike Ultrafly Trail features a Carbon Flyplate sandwiched between a generous stack of fabric-wrapped ZoomX foam, offering a propulsive yet lightweight feel. The trail-specific design of the plate works in conjunction with the midsole's shape to ensure optimal stability and a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The Vibram Megagrip rubber compound used in the outsole, combined with a Litebase outsole design and traction lugs, provides an ideal balance of grip and durability across various terrains, in both wet and dry conditions. The Vaporweave upper, also utilized in Nike's elite running shoes, has been adapted for trails, delivering lightweight comfort and reliability, complete with a classic collar and heel counter fit system. Weight: 300g. Stack height: 38.5mm front, 30mm rear. Heel drop: 8.5mm.
The Nike Ultrafly Trail is designed for male adult trail runners seeking superior performance and grip on various terrains. The shoe's key benefit is its combination of lightweight feel and enhanced stability, thanks to the carbon plate and ZoomX foam. However, note that the Ultrafly Trail is specifically designed for trail running and may not be suitable for road running or other activities. Key features include a carbon plate, Vibram outsole, and Vaporweave upper.
