From running, jumping, and anything in between, the Nike Zoom Rival MD 8 is a versatile track spike that is ready for competition. Designed as a versatile entry-level shoe for mid distance and jumping events, it has a semi-rigid 7 pin spike plate for speed in short distances and a padded heel for sufficient cushioning during field events and longer races.
Midsole
Phylon Wedge is a midsole foam piece in the heel for lightweight, resilient cushioning.
Upper
Lightweight mesh comprises the upper for lightweight breathability.
Overlays are strategically placed for increased flexibility and a secure fit.
Dynamic Support Strap wraps around the midfoot, keeping the foot secure and supported.
Slip Lasting involves wrapping and stitching the upper in a bootie-like shape before attaching the upper to the midsole, which helps promote flexibility and decreases weight.
Outsole
Pebax Plate at the forefoot is a stiff polymer plate for increased propulsion.
