It helps improve comfort and breathability with a redesigned upper. From a 10K to a marathon, the 2 still has the responsive cushioning and secure support to push you towards your personal best. Still the Best Energy Return Yet Nike ZoomX foam delivers Nike Running's greatest energy return yet. A full-length carbon fiber plate creates a responsive feel that keeps you moving through your stride. Ultra-Breathable and Soft A redesigned upper uses mesh fabric placed in areas where you need breathability. The result is a softer, cooler design that conforms to your foot. Secure Containment Reinforcement along the forefoot provides extra durability and secure comfort. An internal foam pod at the heel gives you extra cushioning. Light padding on the tongue helps reduce lace pressure at the top of your foot. The laces loop through lightweight side supports that eliminate the need for an arch band.
