One of the most challenging shoes to build for Beijing, the Nike Romaleos 2 is a lightweight, flexible workhorse that can withstand the unique punishment that weightlifters put on their footwear. In a world championship event where a 300-pound man might lift 700+ pounds, shoes play a critical role in an athlete's performance and safety.
The most revolutionary innovation in the Nike Romaleos weightlifting shoe is Nike's exclusive 'Power Bridge', a contoured TPU heel wedge designed to support the foot and bear as much weight as a man can lift, without any compression or give. This technology provides a lightweight alternative to the wooden heel wedge that competitors have been using since the 1960s.
The Power Bridge is also a technical advancement because, unlike a flat wood shim, it is contoured to cup the heel, providing stability and comfort under stress.
