Phylite

Phylite is the Nike brand's lightweight material that forms the midsole/outsole blend. Phylite is lighter than rubber but denser than phylon and functions as both a durable midsole and outsole. Having a combined midsole and outsole reduces the overall weight of the shoe and increases flexibility. Phylite is an injection-molded unit made of 60% phylon and 40% rubber and can be found in a variety of Nike shoes that are manufactured for different activities.
