When you take an athletic design and give it Xero Shoes DNA – lightweight, flexible, foot-shaped – and add a breathable, 3D-knit upper, you get the Nexus Knit. Whether you’re in the gym, taking a walk, going for a run or just hanging out with friends, you are going to love the look and feel of this shoe. The Nexus Knit may not be our lightest performance shoe, but it still comes in at only 261 grams (M42). More importantly, it’s still built to tackle whatever you want to do in it and look great while you are. And when it comes to comfort, the breathable 3D-knit upper with its booty construction envelops your foot, so you’ll enjoy a barely-there feeling. Don’t be fooled by what looks like a foam midsole on the Nexus Knit. What you’re seeing is actually a clever minimalist cup sole that wraps around the upper, creating a more familiar looking profile. You’ll still enjoy the responsiveness and ground feel of the FeelTrue outsole that helps your brain move your body efficiently, effectively, and most importantly, enjoyably.Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel. All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and Live Life Feet First!
