The Nike Zoom Fly 3 Hyper Violet is an athletic shoe for running featuring a fabric upper in Hyper Violet, with light-to-dark ombré from heel to toe. Nike has been at the forefront of sneaker technology since they introduced running shoes in the 1970s, and select styles from that era remain in production. Decades later, Nike is still devoted to developing superior running shoes. The Zoom Fly 3 features a carbon fiber plate in its construction, which assists in a forward pitch, and Nike React foam for durability and longevity. At the Hyper Violet Nike Zoom Fly 3, the printed Nike Swoosh in striped white extends from the ankle forward and across the toe box. A black lace panel contrasts a white and wolf-grey midsole, balanced by a black outsole. In our opinion, the best feature of the Zoom Fly 3 is its hefty midsole, which plays well with the oversized Nike Swoosh branding. The Nike Zoom Fly 3 Hyper Violet was released on July 11, 2019, and retailed for $160. The Nike Zoom Fly 3 expands on the Zoom Fly line with speed-enhancing details and a sleeker silhouette. A lightweight VaporWeave upper layers over a stabilizing arch band, integrated into the laces for personalized lockdown. The shoe includes subtle heritage detailing on the React foam midsole in the form of 1972's sunburst graphic, designed to commemorate the Munich summer games. A carbon fiber plate within the sole helps add propulsive power to each stride.
