Nike Zoom Rival XC 6 Cross Country Spikes

Toeing the starting line for the first time? Chasing a personal record after years of racing the field and the clock? Run down your goals and your opponents in the Zoom Rival XC 6.

Mesh Upper

Mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a 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.

ZoomX Midsole

Ultra-light and super-responsive, the midsole material delivers Nike's greatest energy return yet; it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer.

Durable Rubber Outsole

A durable rubber outsole 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.
