Nike Juniper Trail 2 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes
The Juniper Trail 2 has waterproof GORE-TEX on the upper, sure-footed traction and a soft, cushiony midsole. It helps keep your toes toasty when the trails are splashy and sleety.
GORE-TEX Upper
Featuring GORE-TEX technology, the upper on the Juniper Trail 2 proves to be highly waterproof without sacrificing fit or feel, as the material is lightweight and flexible, allowing fluidity in your movements. Whether you encounter wet-slicked pavements or soaked trails, these Junipers are highly effective in blocking liquid out. Quick drying properties within the materials ensure that when the shoes have been drenched, you will not be waiting a lifetime to use them again. Despite being highly waterproof, the upper also provides great ventilation for when temperatures rise, ensuring a great cooling effect to help you power through any workout. A heathered foam collar helps keep your ankle warm while keeping extra debris and water from getting inside your shoe, Flywire cables integrate with the laces for a secure feel, locking down the midfoot for greater stability and control. The inner sleeve provides a sock-like fit and the outer material features reflective features to improve your visibility in low light conditions.
Cushioned Full-Length 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 helps to reduce fatigue and enhances performance to keep you going for longer. By dissipating shock upon impact, your joints will be spared from strain when striking down on unforgiving and uneven surfaces. 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.
Nike Grind Outsole
The outsole of the Juniper Trail 2 is made from ultra-durable rubber for maximum control. See the speckles on the outsole? That means 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 tackling rocky trails with no issue.
