A new engineered warp knitted fabric, Nike Engineered Mesh has been incorporated in Nike’s new 18th line of Air Zoom Structure distance running shoes. Though the fabric looks like any other Nike Flyknit uppers which are produced on Stoll flat knitting machines, these fabrics are made on a double needlebar jacquard raschel machine. The inlaid Flywires for additional support are laid-in to the fabric on the knitting machine during knitting, which reduces post-knitting labour.
