One of the most challenging shoes to build for Beijing, the Nike Romaleos 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 weightlifter may lift over 500 lbs., 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 weightlifter 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 1960's. 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. The honeycomb-like system of trusses and bridges in the mid-sole has been engineered for ultimate strength, helping to ensure that an athlete's weight stays centered during the snatch and clean & jerk movements. A first in Nike footwear design, heel height's have been graded to different elevations for the varying sizes and weight categories for Olympic athletes. This unique system is well protected by a flat rubber outsole especially designed to minimize wear in the heel.

The upper is constructed from durable, synthetic materials that are ultra-supportive with integrated lacing and two large Velcro brand closures that keep the foot locked in place. Inside, elastic has been added to the top of the shoe to flex with the tendons of the foot during the "triple extension" of both competition movements. The Nike Romaleos comes with two different sockliners: a softer insert for training and a harder version for competition, when athletes benefit most from zero deflection as power is transferred through the foot.
