Overview
- Nike announced a two‑model Nike Hybrid system that pairs the Hybrid RN as a runnable trainer with the Hybrid Fly as a competition racing shoe.
- The Hybrid Fly uses ZoomX foam, a full‑length carbon Flyplate and dual forefoot Air Zoom units while the Hybrid RN pairs ReactX foam with a forefoot Air Zoom unit to balance cushioning and stability.
- Nike set a staggered rollout with the Hybrid RN debuting in China on September 24 and becoming globally available on October 8, and the Hybrid Fly scheduled for global release in April 2027.
- Both models will be sold on Nike.com and at select retailers, with pricing not yet disclosed, and Nike says elite hybrid athletes such as 2026 HYROX champion Dylan Scott helped refine the Fly.
- The launch positions Nike directly in the fast‑growing Hyrox/hybrid market that Puma, On Running and Gymshark have targeted, and it could push more athletes to choose a single versatile shoe for mixed run‑and‑station workouts.
