After over a decade of research and development, Nike revealed its game changing Flyknit technology to the world in 2012. After proving its success with medal after medal at the London Olympics, its application in the streetwear scene was rolled out soon after. Extremely lightweight and breathable properties quickly found their place on the re-engineered uppers of retro classics like the Air Max 90, but also paved the way for a contemporary design direction with styles like the Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer. Less weight, less waste.
