2018 The Year Of Nike

OldAssDude

Nike put out some great shoes in 2018, and in my opinion, crushed all other shoe manufacturers.

I own well over 30 pair of running shoes.

Nike
Brooks
Hoka One One
Saucony
Merrell
On
New Balance

And others.

I have never been a Nike guy, but that has changed in 2018.

My top 2 shoes currently are...

Nike Air Zoom Air Pegasus 35
Nike Air Zoom Vomaro 14

I am rotating between these 2 for my half marathon training program.

My second favorite brand is Brooks, and my favorite Brooks are probably the Brooks Levitate.

I wore Nike shoes for the first 15 yrs or so that I ran. At some point a couple of decades ago, either my foot shape changed or they changed their sizing models, but they have never fit me since.

I’ve never tried on a pair of Nikes that had a toe box correct for my foot.

I need support shoes and only get on with
Asics gt1000/2000 for running. Been through around 6 pairs last year (I run over 100mile a month without including what I do in PT and classes).
I use Reebok myflex, in indoor class. Took around 3 months for me to make the transition from wearing support shoes for every thing but worked hard with my trainer to strengthen my ankles (I'm hypermobile).

Did try a pair of Brooks but hated how they felt while running. Nike have always been too narrow in the toe box for me.

I wear Nike almost exclusively but I'm still going to disagree with you (you knew that was going to happen, right? ).

I run with a group of 15-20 runners on a regular basis and if you told them about Nike you'd get 10-12 telling you they tried them and hate them. You would find 4-6 saying the same things about Hoka, 5 praising Brooks, a couple wearing ON, and who knows what else. And don't forget about Addias.

Hahaha.

I own every brand you mentioned, and then some.

Shoes are very subjective, and who knows whats coming out this year. My new favorites change with the seasons.

My road shoes are a pair of Vomeros and a pair of Pegasus. I love the Saucony Peregrine for trails as they are very luggy. I do want to try some max cushion Hokas this year.
