The most reliable nike shoe I've ever used. My runs are more on the recreational/personal fitness but I have had no foot, calf issues as my mileage builds

Best trainer I have worn

Andres C · Sep 28, 2025

4/5

Overall

One of the greatest strengths of this shoe is that I can wear these for any occasion. I have ran in these shoes on trails, sidewalks, and the track doing various workouts from speed intervals to long runs. When I run in them they feel snug around my foot and I never have to worry about them coming off. They are light and provide decent cushioning on many of these runs. They are however geared more towards easy daily mileage than the track workouts. They lack some bounce and energy return for it to do things such as a 400 meter track workout. In my experience they feel great on the longer runs from 4-10 mile runs. After around 350 miles you can slightly feel that the energy return is fading but I still use them even after 500 miles since the effects are minimal. Overall a solid shoe considering the price of $80-90.

Best All Around Shoe and Very Durable

Anonymous runner · Sep 28, 2025

5/5

Overall

My peg's have lasted me 500-700 miles so far (my friend's has lasted 1000). I've had half a dozen pairs and love these for easy and long runs. Seeing as they aren't too heavy they are also good for tempo's in my opinion and they come in good colorways. You can often find them for around $60 at factory outlets or on sale online.
