The last time we wrote about the Nike Mayfly was almost two years ago. One of the light­est run­ning­shoes is back at it again. Set to be released in a few col­or­ways this year.
The Nike Mayfly was orig­i­nally intro­duced in 2003 and names after the insect that lives, breeds, and dies all in one day, the mayfly. Nike wanted to pro­duce a shoe which lasted run­ners just long enough to warm-up for, and fin­ish a marathon. The final prod­uct was a rac­ing shoe which is man­u­fac­tured to last 100 kilo­me­ters (62 miles).
The Nike Mayfly comes in a freshly mint col­or­way amongst oth­ers and will be avail­able at select retail­ers from next month.
