3.NIKE SPHERE REACT
(1) "NIKE SPHERE REACT DRY"
When the athlete is dry, "NIKE SPHERE REACT DRY" lays comfortably against the body. As the athlete heats up and sweats, "NIKE SPHERE REACT DRY" is activated, visibly changing as it reacts to moisture. Upon contact with sweat, the material using "M.R.T. fiber" transforms from a flat fabric to a three-dimensional structure that reduces cling to the body.

The innovative materials change like a chameleon adapting to its surroundings increasing to nearly two times its original thickness in an engineered pattern. Airflow across the skin increases to aid in evaporative cooling. When the sweat has evaporated, post exercise, the lightweight microfiber fabric returns to a flat shape against the body.

"NIKE SPHERE REACT DRY" can reduce stickiness by around 50%, compared with conventional polyester products.

(2) NIKE SPHERE REACT COOL
"NIKE SPHERE REACT COOL" breathes with the athlete. When the athlete sweats, "NIKE SPHERE REACT COOL" materials using "M.R.T. fiber" opens up instinctively, becoming more breathable to permit increased airflow across the skin.

The fabric reacts to the body's moisture, becoming as much as twice as breathable, in the gym or on the field.

This openness creates a cooler personal atmosphere between the body and the fabric and gives the athlete freedom to performmore comfortably. The materials are designed to mimic nature and react to the body, like a flower in tune with the sun.
