Zoom Air was only a couple years old when it made its way into running shoes. The Nike Zoom Spiridon was one of the first running shoes to feature the low profile, super responsive cushioning system. Zoom Air was the answer that many runners had been looking for. Being lower profile, the runner’s foot could sit lower to the ground giving them more control and stability. Zoom Air was extremely light weight as opposed to Max Air which was bulky and heavy due to the amount of carbon rubber needed to protect the air units.

The Nike Zoom Spiridon first debuted in 1997 but has since made a retro return in 2005. Like other Zoom Air running cousins including the Zoom Haven, Talaria, and Seismic, it has somewhat of a cult following of loyalists who swear by its comfort and unique look.
