Nike Juniper Trail 2 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes
The Juniper Trail 2 has waterproof GORE-TEX on the upper, grippy traction and a soft, cushiony midsole. It helps keep your toes dry when the trail conditions are splashy and sleety.
GORE-TEX Upper
Providing your feet with a constant supply of airflow and exceptional waterproof protection, the Juniper Trail 2 utilise a breathable GORE-TEX upper. The GORE-TEX materials provide optimum protection on the trails by protecting your feet from rain and moisture in poor, changing weather, including snowy conditions. The collar of the upper consists of heathered foam, this minimises the chances of water, dirt and debris from entering the shoes, letting you run without distraction. An inner sleeve has been added to provide snug comfort by wrapping around the midfoot securely, while Flywire cables have been integrated into the lacing system to further lock the foot into place. A traditional lacing system has been used, as you tighten the laces, the fit becomes more secure.
Cushioned Midsole
A full-length cushioning platform resides underfoot to deliver feathery durability plus smooth responsiveness. The reactive nature of this midsole material means it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces superfluous muscle power, diminishes fatigue and enhances performance, keeping you going longer. Soft, generous and substantial, the midsole will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infuse every stride with the kind of zealous power often elusive in the running world. Under the heel, there is extra cushioning to supply your stride with extra bounce; it combines pressurised air with internal fibres to deliver responsive cushioning that springs back fast, so you can move faster. Embedded within the midsole, a rock plate helps to protect your feet against rocks and stone bruises, letting you run confidently over awkward terrain.
Durable Rubber Outsole
The outsole of the Juniper Trail 2 is made from ultra-durable rubber for maximum control. It's made with at least 8% Nike Grind material, from scraps from the footwear manufacturing process. This means the shoe is good for your run and the planet. The rubber is hard-wearing and resists damage. A generative traction pattern is combined with tapered lugs to provide great multi-directional traction, helping you run efficiently up and downhill and tackle rocky trails with no issue.
