Lightweight midsole

The Nike Flex Control uses an injected ethylene-vinyl acetate midsole. This type of foam starts as molten EVA poured inside a mold which is smaller than the end product. Opening the cast allows the foam to expand. As it cools down, it shrinks and contracts to get to the final form. This type of material is lightweight, shock-absorbent, and resilient to bending and twisting.

Breathable upper

The Nike Flex Control utilizes a mesh fabric for its upper. This material is lightweight and breathable, ensuring ventilation to the interior foot chamber.

No-sew synthetic overlays protect parts of the shoe such as the eyelets, the toe box, and the back area. It also lightly protects the mesh from abrasion.
