Too much lactic acid in your body? Bad. On your feet? Best thing ever.
“Inspired by the compound behind that beautiful running burn,” the Nike Zoom Elite 8 Lactic Acid collection boasts a wild molecular pattern throughout the upper, as bold black polka dots adorn a mesh upper that starts blue near the toe, before shifting to purple and then pink around the heel.
In addition to both shoes — the men’s and women’s editions — that pattern also graces men’s and women’s T-shirts and tanks, promising your affinity for molecular biology need not be limited to your feet. Don’t you hate it when your affinity for molecular biology is limited to your feet?
The Nike Zoom Elite 8 Lactic Acid collection releases Sunday, August 30, at Nike Running accounts nationwide. Online retailers including Nike.com will stock the shoe at 10am EDT/7am PDT. Here’s the FinishLine purchase link for the men’s pair and here’s the women’s link.
