Our women's running trainers help you unlock your potential and smash through your goals. To build them, we combine cutting-edge engineered designs with pro-quality materials. So, each pair is designed to help you run further, faster and longer. Durable, lightweight styles will carry you from your first park run to your next half-marathon. Heading out on the open trail? We have specialist pairs built for rough terrain.

Power through the challenge

A great running shoe begins with the outsole. Our running trainers for women come in a choice of designs to suit the surface you'll be running on. For hard urban surfaces, look for durable rubber materials that are made to go the distance. You'll also find lightly textured grooves that give you the traction you need. If you're heading into open country, choose styles with deep directional ridges. These pairs ensure excellent grip and stability on wet, uneven ground. Training for a track-and-field event? Our specialist running spikes support you as you test your limits.

Support your performance

Testing your running potential places unique demands on your body. That's why we make our ladies' running shoes in shock-absorbing designs. ZoomX foam within the insoles soaks up the force of each movement. This helps to reduce the risk of injuries and wear and tear. Plus, the responsive material delivers superior energy return, so you get a propulsive feel as you run. For exceptional cushioning with a lightweight construction, go for running trainers for women with our Nike Air units. This acclaimed technology gives you the impact absorption you need without weighing you down. As the unit snaps back into place, it delivers a springy effect to propel you into your next stride. Looking for women's running shoes designed for athletics? Opt for our ultra-lightweight styles featuring spikes for stability and traction. Crafted to give you the bounce you need, they'll help you reach full speed before you jump.

Tackle the elements

At Nike, we know nothing should get in the way of your training. That's why we use lightweight materials to craft our uppers, so they set you free to move. Our engineered mesh uppers stretch and flex with the natural movement of your foot. This gives you lasting comfort to keep moving to the finish line. Training in hot weather? Breathable panels provide extra airflow where you need it most—helping you stay cool and focused for longer. Or if you're heading out for a wet-weather run, go for ladies' running trainers featuring GORE-TEX technology. This weather-resistant fabric helps to keep out rain and splashes, keeping your feet dry and comfortable for longer.

Protecting our future

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. Since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste. Plus, we repurpose old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets into high-performance yarn for our clothing. Ready to join us? Choose women's running trainers with the Sustainable Materials tag.
