Nike was founded by an Olympic track coach and runner. So, we know a thing or two about running shoes. Today, we make men's running shoes to suit every runner and every distance. Expect grippy outsoles that provide engineered traction. Cushioned insoles for matchless comfort. And lightweight uppers that set you free to fly. From weekend pavement pounders to race-day track stars—we're with you through each stride.

Move with confidence

The foundation of a great running shoe is the outsole. And our running trainers for men come in a selection of designs to suit your preferred terrain. Trail running requires exceptional grip on wet, slippery or uneven ground. So, look for deep directional grooves that help you stay stable wherever the journey takes you. Do most of your training on hard surfaces? Our running shoes for men with durable rubber outsoles are built to pound the tarmac.

Soft landings, responsive strides

Lightning-fast sprints. Testing distances. Off-the-beaten-track adventures. However you like to move, running puts unique demands on your body. That's why we make our Nike running shoes for men with supportive inner soles. Foam insoles with our ZoomX technology soak up the impact of each toe-off and landing. That helps reduce the risk of injury. Meanwhile, the engineered matrix returns the energy of your movements. This propulsive feel lets you push yourself for longer. For an extra spring in your step, look for our acclaimed Nike Air units. You can choose heel-only units for targeted support. Or you can opt for men's running sneakers with full-sole Air units for maximum cushioning throughout your foot.

Fly through the distance

At Nike, we understand that every ounce matters when it comes to footwear. To build our men's running sneakers, we choose durable-but-lightweight materials. Our engineered mesh uppers promote a natural range of movement throughout your foot. That ensures a barely-there feel for lasting comfort. You'll also find strategically placed panels for improved airflow—keeping you cool and comfortable for longer. For added protection from the elements, we have leather and FlyLeather pairs.

Focus on the details

When it comes to sport, fine margins matter. That's why every part of our running trainers for men is designed with care. You'll find elastic laces for extra comfort and responsiveness as you start to move. Practical heel tabs for easy on and off. Padded collars that reduce the risk of chafing and deliver a locked-in feel. And wraparound toes to cut down on scuffs and wear. Heading out in wet or snowy conditions? Look out for pairs with Gore-TEX technology that shuts out the elements.

For the future of sport

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill. We haven't reached our target yet. But we're determined to get there. Ready to join us?
