Cushioned midsole and decoupled outsole

The Nano 9’s have a decoupled outsole design featuring two outsole pieces for improved heel-to-toe movement, letting you move sure-footedly and dynamically. They’re also enhanced with an added midsole cushioning that cushions and absorbs impact which means that yes, you can go all out and do a short run between your training because these Nano 9’s can handle it all.
