Revolution, Downshifter or Pegasus: which Nike running shoe fits your runs?

Picture your first slow run around the neighbourhood, then a steady weekly run a few months later. Nike makes a shoe for each stage, so choose Nike running shoes by how you run, not only by how they look.

• Everyday runs: the Revolution 8, with a foam midsole and a flexible forefoot, and the Downshifter 14, with more midsole cushioning than the model before it.
• Extra softness: the Journey Run, with an extra-high foam stack and ComfiRide cushioning.
• Nike Air: the Winflo 11 pairs Cushlon 3.0 foam with a full-length Nike Air unit, and the Pegasus 41 uses dual Air Zoom units with ReactX foam for everyday road running.
• Trails: the Juniper Trail 3, with a Trail ATC outsole for hilly terrain.
• Race day: the Streakfly, which Nike calls its lightest racing shoe, and the Zoom Fly 6 for fast training runs.

What do EasyOn and FlyEase mean?

Both make a shoe quicker to put on. The Revolution 8 EasyOn and Pegasus EasyOn let you step in without fuss, and Nike FlyEase on the kids' Revolution 6 FlyEase makes it easy to get on and off. Browse women's running shoes or men's running shoes from every brand.
