The Road Warrior scavenges innovation from many different places: basketball, training, running, outdoor apparel. The goal was to build a piece of footwear that can thrive in urban environments. All of these performance innovations live in harmony, providing comfort, protection and durability.

The Road Warrior references the pioneering design of the 2-hour-marathon-breaking Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% and the energy return of the Nike Air Zoom BB NXT. The open floating heel borrows from early Nike Shox prototypes, but shifts from the “boing boing” effect of the pillars to incorporate double-stacked Zoom pods and double underfoot plates.

We didn’t want to sacrifice stability. That’s why the Road Warrior re-imagines a traditional Japanese split-toe cage (commonly used in construction and road work boots) for a back-to-basics barefoot stance.

Launching online on Friday 23rd October (Available online from 08:00AM BST), sizes range from UK6 – UK12, priced at £435.
