Product Insights
Nike's Lightweight Breathable Knit Socks ($22, in stock) pair a seamless knit compression zone with arch support and a fitted heel pocket for a thin gauge that enhances ground feel and midfoot stability while reducing blisters. Buyers report the thin knit keeps feet cool up to 40°C and dries quickly, making it ideal for racing and warm runs, but note that this lightweight design sacrifices durability—showing wear after 100–200 miles—compared to the longer-lasting Multiplier. Even those who typically avoid Nike endorse these socks, though correct sizing is essential for the arch compression to work. Machine wash cold and air dry to extend lifespan.

Comparison of Nike Spark Lightweight vs Multiplier for running
I really like Multiplier, but it is on the thicker side. I wore them in 35-40 degrees C and had no problems. They are heavy cushioned type of sock if you ask me. Spark lightweight is thinner. Everybody says it is not durable. I can't comment on that at this point. But multiplier will last you for a long time for sure. Everything is a trade off and you have to choose it yourself. If you like thicker socks go with multiplier, if you prefer thinner than Spark Lightweight.
