A970 Nitro Lite
The A970 platform with a nitrogen-foamed NitroLite midsole, which Victor says makes the midsole lighter while keeping its rebound and durability. Same forefoot TPU, carbon sheet and 7° wedge as the A970ACE, in five colours; Victor publishes a weight for neither shoe, so the saving is Victor's claim rather than a figure.

Check first
- No wide version: if your little toe presses the upper in a lunge, look at a wide-fit model.
- The brand publishes no weight, so judge heft in hand rather than on paper.
- Speed shoes trade cushioning and upper durability for weight; heavy landers wear them out faster.
