The former Nike air cushion was formed in a resilient synthetic rubber layer which formed by pouring the air gas into a resilient synthetic rubber under a high pressure. Air-Sole was belong to the "modest' kind, because its modest performance in cushioning ability, stability performance and reaction speed performance. It possessed a multi-interval which was in multiple pressures, with a 5PSI pressure in the low pressure zone and 25PSI pressure in the high pressure zone. Air Max cushioning ability was very strong, can provide appropriateness protection to your feet and your knees, but may cause the loss of machine power. The damping effect with an excellent sense of site sensitive rebound effect and excellent acceleration, Zoom Air was widely used in extensive outside basketball shoes (such as FLIGHT series, the AJ series), and Nike Footscape Free speed of running shoes (such as Air zoom Miler). SHOX used in the basketball and running shoes were with different roles. The SHOX cushion (people who are under 70kg are not obvious) provided excellent cushioning effect and stability, which was widely use in all kinds of sports shoes.

There was no connection with "Manufactured in Vietnam", although the largest production base of Nike was Vietnam. Conversely, the foundry business needed Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 to lower the remuneration of workforces, and the rights and interests of workforces would be sacrificed as a cost if the enterprise wanted to maintain survival. During the procedure of producing OEM products, three industrial wastes were likely to be produced and omitted, and that was to say waste water, waste gas and solid waste, and these three wastes would result in this kind of pollutant with virtual form. This type of "sweatshops" mode did not have sustainability. When Vietnam was playing the role as Nike shoes' foundry base, Chinese enterprises have headed for the stage of proprietary brand. In China, Vietnam, Indonesia and other places of Asia, there scattered these foundries. Five point five percent production of Nike was grasped by Winterthur Group, and began from the year of 2005, the Company turned many Chinese orders to Vietnam. At the same time, there were four processing factory production lines in Vietnam, and they have already been expanded on a large scale. In the ensuing years, Winterthur and Basoche have increased their investment in Vietnam. It would be visible that we can explain the so-called Nike shoes were made in Vietnam in this way, which was just Nike foundry enterprises' purpose to shift its capacity to Vietnam for lower production costs. This can not necessarily associate with Vietnam's action on enhancing its manufacturing capacity.
