Nike Zoom Rival XC Women's Track Spikes

The Nike Zoom Rival XC easily transitions from track to training. A soft, multi-layered mesh upper pairs with a close fit, while diagonal rows of striped skins, thin speed laces and a cross-country logo on the heel all speak the language of fast.

Mesh Upper

Mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. When temperatures begin to rise the well ventilated upper ensures a constant cooling effect so you can power through any workout with ease. Striped skin overlays are added to the shoe to provide added durability and support. The overlays swathe the midfoot to increase longevity and ensure structured support. Thin speed laces have a knitted texture which helps to keep knots more secure than traditional laces. The lacing system also helps to create a locked-down fit to reduce in shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

Cushlon Midsole

Cushlon resides underfoot to deliver a soft, yet resilient, and responsive ride. Light in weight and low in profile, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving terrain. Cushlon's reactive nature means your use of superfluous muscle power is reduced, so you can run faster or at the same speed for longer.

6-Spike Outsole

The forefoot Pebax plate is shaped like a horse shoe and houses six spike receptacles for even pressure dispersal and superior grip. Translucent rubber covers the forefoot and heel, smoothing the transition from heel-strike to toe-off; it is removed in the midfoot to expose the outsole, enhancing flexibility while reducing weight. This also prevents mud and debris from clogging the outsole and saturating your pace. Strategically placed lugs have a sharp, crisp shape to yield grip in all conditions. The anatomical heel is rounded to roll with the ground, encouraging a more natural and fluid range of motion. For the athletes who crave a consistent fit for race day performance, choose the Zoom Rival XC.

**You don't want to feel your toe cramped up against the front of the shoe. A spike should feel like it was meant for your foot, a little more snug than a training shoe feels so we would recommend half a size up on normal shoes**
