Nike Air Zoom Wildhorse 5 Trail Running Shoe

Built specifically for trails, the Nike Air Zoom Wildhorse 5 keeps you galloping over rough terrain in breathable, multi-layer fabric. A rock plate helps shield your foot, while a Zoom Air heel unit cushions your stride on and off the path.

Multi-Layer Fabric and Synthetic Upper

Abrasion-resistant uppers will encase each foot in ventilated comfort. A multi-layer fabric and synthetic upper wraps the foot in lightweight breathability. Striking the perfect balance between durability and breathability, the perforated multi-layer fabric increases airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in, whilst producing a strong fit that's ready for rough adventure. Synthetic overlays provide protection against bumps and grazes on the trail whilst ensuring a secure, locked-down fit when navigating tricky terrain. The midfoot fit cage combines an asymmetrical, no-sew overlay with a traditional lace system to provide lockdown on uneven surfaces. Flattened Flywire cables in the top eyestays unite with a minimal heel counter to secure the rearfoot, reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. Plush foam surrounds the entire ankle to create soft, next-to-skin cushion while a wider forefoot allows room for comfortable toe splay. Protective skin wraps the toes to reinforce the Wildhorse 5's trail-worthy state, defending you against roots, rocks and general hazards. A partial mesh inner bootie cradles the foot in a plush, sock-like feel and enhanced breathability.

Phylon Midsole

Phylon resides in the midsole; the lightweight and responsive construction is formed with EVA foam pellets that are compressed, heat expanded and then cooled in a mould. Resilient and springy, it helps to spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving terrain. Nike Zoom Air features under the heel 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. Zoom Air's advantage is that, as well as providing excellent impact protection, it boasts a super lightweight and low-profile design which lets your feet sit closer to the ground, enhancing proprioception so that you can run more efficiently. Embedded within the midsole, a rock plate helps to protect your feet against rocks and stone bruises, letting you run with confidence over awkward terrain.

Dual-Compound Rubber Outsole

A dual-compound rubber outsole completes the Wildhorse 5. High-abrasion rubber skirts the perimeter of the rugged waffle traction pattern, providing multi-surface grip and durability in high-wear areas. Sticky rubber makes up the centre to supply slick-surface traction, so you're good to go across sodden ground. Grippy outsole lugs mean optimal grip and easy mud shedding, never killing your pace with weight, and they're strategically placed with a sharp, crisp shape to amplify grip in every direction, in every condition. The heel is rounded to roll with the ground, promoting a more natural running motion. For the athletes who crave comfort on the road less travelled, choose the Air Zoom Wildhorse 5.
