Nike Running Shoes Reviews

Some dismiss Nike as a marketing brand, but Nike was started by a runner (Phil Knight) and his trainer (the legendary Bill Bowermann) as a true game-changer running brand. Universal fit, the latest technologies and the help from world-class runners make Nike some of the top running shoes out there. One thing we particularly like about Nike is how daring they are in updating their shoes and constantly innovating.
