Nike Zoom Javelin Elite 3 Throwing Spikes

Low to the ground with a locked-in feel, the Nike Zoom Javelin Elite 3 is ready to "send it," thanks to a new design that's built for stability and power transfer.

Synthetic Upper

The upper of the Zoom Javelin Elite 3 has been constructed using a synthetic material to provide equal measures of comfort, resilience and durability to help improve and optimise performance. Mesh panels are located on the side of the shoe to increase airflow and improve circulation to create a drier, healthier environment for your feet to thrive. Additionally, excess sweat and moisture is quickly eradicated to keep your feet cool and composed. The shoe is made to last, with durable upper materials and two resilient straps featuring hardware that's been rebuilt for toughness. The entire upper construction is designed to be secure but adaptable. An adjustable forefoot strap enables you to find the optimum fit, meeting individual requirements which can be adjusted thanks to the hook-and-loop closure while a second velcro strap locks you in and helps prevent your foot from sliding. Further comfort and durability is provided by a TPU toe-cap, protecting the feet from abrasion and guarding against toe-drag, friction and any unwanted debris causing damage. The toe cap on the drag helps stop runway momentum before take-off, meaning you are fully in control when releasing the javelin. This helps to deliver a more solid base when throwing, ensuring you are well balanced and enabling increased performance in the process.

High Density Foam Midsole

High-density foam helps to soften impact without absorbing too much of your energy. This will protect your feet enough when striking back down onto the ground, whilst still propelling the energy back into your stride. The midsole is designed with a slight negative offset that puts the heel lower than the forefoot, giving you an optimal angle at foot plant.

Rubber Outsole

The Zoom Javelin Elite 3 features a full length rubber outsole to provide optimal grip to the track whilst being durable. A full-length Pebax spike plate is situated on the outsole and contains 11 steel spike receptacles to offer exceptional grip and traction. Having a large number of spikes will help to give you the assured footing required to maintain balance and control when throwing the javelin. Assisting the Pebax spike plate are flex grooves which allow your foot to move more naturally, giving a range of motion in all directions as well as flexibility to help the foot to splay.
