Nike Women's Air Mada:
From the bottom up, this redesigned day hiking boot features a complete overhaul for enhanced traction, reduced weight and exceptional comfort. The outsole features a new high traction rubber compound with a new multidirectional lug design that holds well on a wide range of trail surfaces. Like other new Nike ACG designs, the Air Mada has an injected plastic shank in the midfoot that adds torsional rigidity without the extra ounces. Up top you'll find a refined last for a better fit and waterproof Nubuk leather overlays. In an era when sequels are sometimes overrated, the Air Mada is a giant step above the rest.
