VERSATILE AND FAST
We’re not saying you were the kind of kid who got chased home from school. We’re saying if you were that kid, this shoe could have saved your ass. With a snug fit and low-to-the-ground design, the Zoom inspires high-speed running on everything from hard-packed dirt trails to steep, rocky mountain routes. “Like a racing flat, it actually made me feel like I should be up on my toes all the time,” one tester remarked. A slightly subdued lug pattern allows for precise footing on technical trails, while a forefoot shield offers ample protection from sharp rocks without feeling too rigid. Caveat: Toe protection is minimal. 10.2 oz; nikerunning.com
