The Skylon is a bit of a paradox; a collision of “a blast from the past” with a “wave of the future.” The midsole of Phylite, has been a while in coming, but its properties have been on a number of other lightweight shoes, just not from Nike. The nice touches are Air cushioning, Waffle traction and BRS 1000 on the heel to ensure that durability and lightweight reside comfortably in the same sentence. Skylon can go the distance.
