FlyKnit shoes are made up of strong yet lightweight strands of yarn that have been woven into a one-piece upper, securing an athlete’s foot to the shoe platform. Each upper requires no cutting or sewing post-production, resulting in a completely seamless component.
While traditional warp knitting techniques waste around 20-25% of fabric during production (amounting to an equivalent of approximately 132.6 tons per million pairs of shoes annually) Nike’s patented technique provides up to 80% reduction of material waste.
