The Uptempo theme continues at Nike - the Air VisZoom.  Now what kind of name is that?  The distinctive feature of these shoes is the Zoom air sole.  The difference between "normal" Nike Air and "Zoom" Nike Air is in the thickness of the air unit and the pressure.  Zoom is thinner and has less air pressure; which theoretically creates a more responsive shoe. 

Combination full-grain smooth/floater leather upper with Lycra-spandex full-length dynamic fit sleeve. Sculpted Phylon midsole with heel and forefoot visible Zoom-Air units. Solid rubber outsole with herringbone traction pods and exposed injected TPU midfoot shank plate.
