I love that you actually mention the madness of shoe pricing today! 🤩

IS THAT A FOOT-SHAPED NIKE SHOE??? This has to be closest to foot-shaped I’ve seen with Nike at least. This and the Vibram outsole makes me want to consider it.

I've found the nike trail shoes i've tried (kiger and zegama) to have decent toe box volume tbh. That having been said i'm definitely fairly middle of the road when it comes to width, salomons are too narrow but altras (except the slim footshape ones) are too sloppy

What does "foot shaped" even mean? I think my feet are foot shaped and there's no way I can run in Altras. Stop with the marketing gobbley gook. Agreed with below that Nike trail shoes are a very accommodating fit, especially compared to their road shoes.

Any shoe that fits one’s own feet well is obviously good. However with long narrow feet myself hearing a shoe fits rather wide is not what I want to hear but no doubt the reverse is also true. Shame really that there does not seem to be sufficient commercial value making more than the odd shoe model in different widths. Got to think this one is far too niche compared to say a Brooks Ghost to do so.

Love your reviews. Used to watch them all the time. Wish you did more of them. 🙏🏻

Saw the new Zagama at WSER….Vibram sole. Finally.

Have about 30 miles in mine. Really have loved running in this shoe. The vibram outsole is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. I would say it shines on fire roads and light technical trails. Gnarly trails it’s ok.

Definitely going to buy a pair or two when they're on clearance

And yet folk are saying the NB Fuelcell Trail might be even better than this! My poor bank balance 😢😂

Got this shoe at a discount, and I'm loving the wide toe box. I have flat and wide feet, so this is a saviour. I may be weird, but I'm loving this shoe on road, oh well. Thank you for the review. Fyi, the one i got is the normal colorway, the funky orange and purple was still at retail price. Again, great shoe review, and thank you.

So want this shoe as I’ve been waiting for Nike to add Vibram to their somewhat not great traction trail shoes which fit well, but $250 if a hefty pill to swallow.

I do like Nike - ran in the Wildhorse, Zegama, and Pegasus Trail. This said, the Arc’teryx Norvan LD3 is bombproof with Vibram for A LOT less that $250!

Nice I remember how comfy you said they were during trail tested! At the end of the day it’s a super shoe carbon plate etc so price wise it’s cheaper than Alpha fly vapor fly in 🇦🇺it’s cheaper than Tec X 2 A380 and Endorphin Edge is only $10 cheaper than Nike NordaOO2 Speedland &Kailash are all high A$400 i like the look of the NB Supercomp trail but as I stated in comments the toe box is supposed to be snug? Although NB are good with there width availability! Hope you can test them soon!

I'm pretty certain that, out of all shoe reviewrs for this shoe, I have yet to see a negative review. I know I'm stoked to try it!

Just copped with a birthday code!! Can't wait to test them! I don't know why but I get Virgil Abloh design vibes off of these shoes?

Just got mine. No runs yet but it fits soooooo goodd! Really looking forward to first runs with it.

Have you tried out the new Terra Kiger? I love that shoe. I’ve done a few half marathon Spartan races. It worked well.

Just managed to get these on sale, can’t wait to get them on feet!

Ordered mine today!

This shoe is pretty great. Great cushion, traction and bounce for moderate trails. Only bad thing so far is lock down. But that might change once I get 30 plus miles

60 miles in. Great lockdown. But atleast once every run , laces have to be re tied

I really want to try the new gel-kayano 30 or the nimbus 25, though I'm still not quite sure which one to get. Seems like the perfect easy/steasy run shoe.

Enjoy Nike road shoes, but always sceptical on their trail shoes. This may well be a try for me, though!

Saw these at the Wy’east Howl in 2021 on 2 of the 3 half marathon podium.

Wishful thinking grabbing these on sale. I expect a limited run, and they sell out immediately. Maybe by Christmas some new colorway. With all the long term Hype, them adding the Vibram, I think its going to be a Win for Nike and a Fail for mass availability.

Holly crap, a Nike w Vibram!!! Sounds promising, can’t wait.

Like $5 golf balls. Are they good...yes. Worth it for my game?? Same with 200 barrier for shoes.

11.1 oz? That’s pretty heavy. Love Pebax foam. The Vaporfly is sub 7oz….wonder why this shoe is so heavy. Would have loved to hear more about the performance of the carbon plate on the trails.

The answer is outsole rubber. And thicker upper.

The Nike trail shoes that I've worn over the years have always been comfortable. However, the lugs have always been too shallow and were sketchy on tech or sandstone. So, I've limited my wearing this shoe to loamy trails near my home. (Currently have the Peg 4 trail) At $250.00, will it be better than the Hoka Torrent or other models?

Why would anyone make a trail shoe in WHITE? (or even a road shoe for that matter)

How is the grip on more muddy terrain? The lugs seem pretty small. Also are they at least water resistant, or does a small splash equal trench foot?

Carbon plate nike last about 1000miles plus in my experience. Ive been in the running footwear industry since 1994.

The price and weight puts me off would probably just use for an ultra as its too heavy for shorter trail races

Finally Nike teamed up with Vibram! Best of both worlds! Hopefully more colour ways will appear on the market, white trail shoes just don’t sit well with me. And the price. I shall wait for price to drop and more colour ways.

Looks awesome

This is the first time (at least for me)I’m seeing that you recommend buying a shoe which costs $250. Even though I’m not a trail runner, I want to buy one

Noo, say it’s crap please. I finally got my trail shoe favorites figured out after the last year of trail and error (see what I did there?) and I do not want to spend anymore money trying new shoes in hopes they are perfect and be crowned my new favorite. Until next month anyway…

Can anyone let me know if this shoe would be good for straight up day- hiking? I had Speed Goats prior and I'm a fan of trail shoes for hiking.

Little puzzled by reviewing a prototype. If it has been good for lots of miles over a year and is still holding up well why was the outsole considered so bad it was swopped out. I wonder if the Vibram has added weight and/or has otherwise changed the feel of the shoe. Also for a shoe marketed for racing it seems very heavy from what have heard. Is that the Vibram I wonder...

The Nike outsole sucks. It doesn’t stick to rock at all and gets slippery when wet. Fine for gravel and dirt but if you are getting into alpine or run in rocky rooty areas that get wet it’s borderline unusable.

Late now but the vibram outsoles are also extremely durable. Every pair of vibram shoes I've bought it is always the upper that goes first

How does the ZoomX midsole perform compared to the midsole in the Zegama? That midsole was terrible. Major disappointment for me. So firm and dead. I disagree about the premature wear out of the Nike midsoles. At least when it comes to React foam. I've ran in more than I can count and remember, and never experienced it. Never. Except from the foam that TnF uses, react is the best there is.

I would like to see a more flexible less expensive nylon plate version :-)
