Nike Air Cesium info from Nike:

CONSTRUCTION
It all begins with Nike Cesium’s Control at Origin. The combination of a rounded lateral
crash pad made of low density PU foam helps to slow the velocity of initial pronation
by reducing the lever arm effect and defecting the initial impact of heel strike. Impact is
further cushioned in the heel by a NIKE Zoom Air unit.
ORTHOTIC DESIGN
In place of conventional dual density foam, we’ve used a full-length 3 degree varus
wedge to stabilise the foot and limit the degree of pronation. This ensures the shoe
is lighter and less bulky, whilst also giving a smoother, more fexible ride. The Air Cesium
is the only shoe on the market that carries this feature.
WARP
The Windlass Activation Resupination Pad is a lower density foam that helps engage the
windlass mechanism, allowing re-supination of the rearfoot to occur earlier, and reduces
the duration of pronation. This is combined with intelligent fex grooves to further help
forefoot fexibility and engaging the windlass.
ARCH-WRAP
The Air Cesium addresses support issues as well as control ones. Using medial support
overlays, it’s designed to wrap up and around the arch to support the midfoot. The lacing
system provides a snug ft across the top of the foot, locking it down over midsole, while
the breathable sandwich mesh keeps the foot cool. So wherever you run in a pair of Nike
Cesium, you’re supported all the way.
WOMEN
The NIKE Women’s Air Cesium+ 2 offers all the same features and benefts of the men’s shoe,
allowing female runners to stay in control while offering full support wherever they run.
