Nike Zoom SD 4 — Premium Throwing Shoes for Shot Put, Discus & Hammer

Designed for athletes who demand precision, power, and durability, the Nike Zoom SD 4 is a championship-caliber throwing shoe built to handle the unique demands of field events. Whether you specialize in shot put, discus, or hammer, and whether you prefer a glide or rotational technique, this shoe provides the support and traction needed to perform at your best.

Locked-In Support

The Zoom SD 4 features a dynamic lockdown system that combines a midfoot strap with Nike Flywire cables. As you tighten the laces, the cables wrap under your arch and tighten across the midfoot, eliminating internal foot slippage during aggressive rotations. This gives you the confidence to push, pivot, and launch without distraction.

Durable Traction You Can Trust

The flexible, textured outsole is crafted from high-abrasion carbon rubber (BRS1000), delivering exceptional grip on fast throwing circles—even in wet conditions. The pattern is strategically designed to provide the ideal balance of grip for pushing off and slip for smooth pivoting.

Built for Longevity

Field event shoes take a beating. That's why the Zoom SD 4 includes a rubber toe tip that withstands constant planting and dragging, along with a forefoot Pebax® plate that provides torsional rigidity for a stiff, stable platform that maximizes power transfer from the ground up.

Breathable Comfort

A no-sew synthetic leather upper eliminates irritation and chafing, while mesh inserts in the vamp and quarters promote airflow to keep your feet cool under pressure. A lightweight foam midsole offers impact protection to shield your joints from hard surfaces.
