This shoe is an absolute game changer! After knee surgery in November, staying off my feet for 3 months and being told running would not likely be in my future; I bought these shoes and got back to my local trail runs. Today I am keeping a steady pace and am pushing myself for more miles each time out. Slipped these on for the first time and experienced a new level of comfort on a cloud of Zoom X foam; Took the first step and Carbon Flyplate is begging for another and another. Vibram lite base sole delivers excellent grip, consistent stability and utmost confidence during steady climb to the top or on careful descent down. The durable yet breathable Vaporweave upper keeps feet cool and dry while the extra spacious toebox provides unparalleled traction and comfort on the downhill trip back to reality. After almost 40 miles, I have nothing but good things to say and am excited to keep putting miles on my feet and smiles on my face. Stoked to be back "Out There" thanks to these awesome shoes!

Trail Speed
For the first time in Nike Trail Running, we implemented a carbon Flyplate, layered between ZoomX foam and a knit fabric-wrapped midsole, to give you propulsive energy and a springy feel. It helps you stay fresh to continue pushing the limits of speed, whether you're at mile 1 or mile 50.
Traction for Various Conditions
Slimmer and lighter than a traditional outsole, the Vibram exclusive Ultrafly outsole made with Vibram Megagrip has a sticky rubber that works with a chevron lug pattern. They combine to provide grip on both uphill climbs and downhill descents, even in wet weather. This exclusive outsole also features Vibram Litebase and Traction Lug technologies. The result is a lightweight, durable outsole that gives you great grip wherever your run takes you.
Stable on the Trail
A flat bottom and minimised cross rocker give you optimal stability on trail terrain while the heel-to-toe rocker provides a smooth transition. Specifically engineered zones of support in the midfoot give you a secure yet lightweight feel, while weaving through the trail at a rapid pace.
Durability Where You Need It
The fabric wrap on the midsole helps to cushion the foam from the elements and abrasion of being on the trails. Hard-wearing abrasion-resistant materials provide durability.
More benefits
- Vaporweave mesh on the upper provides breathability.
- Foam midsole adds cushioning.

Swankk_brvndon - 09 Apr 2025
Have walked over a 100+ miles since I’ve bought them in March. I upgraded to these after i pushed the Nike Zegema 2 to its limits. Out the box they looked great definitely stand out i bought the white pair. You first have to break them in the vibram grip is very good on almost all terrain no complaints there. I adjusted the laces so the vapor weave didn't squeeze the top arch's of my feet. I also realized they work best with no socks imo if your feet sweat a lot the breathability is nice. I wish they didn’t look so beat up after walking a lot the white pair didn’t hold up too well definitely would’ve gone with a black pair if the option was there. The material isn't easy to clean so i just use a rag or a cloth with warm water. Overall great shoes the toes have enough room not very water proof friendly i found that out on multiple occasions so keep that in mind when purchasing. Will i buy again? For the price there retailing i would honestly wait to buy them on sale. On a rainy day stay on the on trail avoid puddles. Overall vibram grip works well not a bad shoe i will probably go back to the nike zegema 2 or try out the acg fly 2 once i push these shoes to its absolute limits.
