Nike Air Span 6
The mid-foot of this shoe has a saddle design to support proper pronation. The Air-Sole is intended to provide long-lasting cushioning needed for overpronation, that won't begin to wear at the unique pressure points of the inward roll of the step. The Cushion ST2 mid-sole provides a cushioned platform for evenly dispersed pressure. To maintain the shoe's ability to control the step, an abrasion-resistant heel increases longevity.
