Nike Zegama Trail 2 Trail Running Shoes

Up the Sierra, through the woods, to the top of the trail, you can go. Equipped with an ultra-responsive ZoomX foam midsole, the Zegama Trail 2 is designed to conquer steep ridges, jagged rocks and races from trailhead to tip.

Engineered Mesh Upper

The upper of the Nike Zegama 2 has been created with engineered mesh uppers that encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations within the fabric increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. When temperatures begin to rise the well-ventilated upper ensures a constant cooling effect so you can power through any workout with ease. The upper also includes an internal heel counter that helps to increase stability on a variety of terrains, whilst the built-in gaiter seals out dirt and debris so you stay comfortable and protected. Overlays stretch across the toe for extra durability. Finishing the upper of the shoes is a traditional lacing system that locks down the midfoot for greater stability and control, so you can feel confident out on the trail.

ZoomX Midsole

Nike ZoomX foam delivers Nike Running's greatest energy return yet for responsive comfort on the trail. Ultra-light and super-responsive, the midsole material delivers Nike's greatest energy return yet; it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. The revolutionary ZoomX foam is manufactured from Pebax, a product conventionally used in plastic bridges and other moulded parts and yields cushioning that is not only lightweight but soft and springy. Until now, these three characteristics (collectively) have proven nearly impossible to achieve. Pebax has a lower density than some thermoplastic alternatives and this makes it lighter, flexible and more impact-resistant, whilst giving it a higher capacity for energy return. When blown into a foam these properties remain, gifting you with a lively underfoot feeling that encourages you to run fast. Signalling the incredible resilience of ZoomX, the tiny creases that occur on every midsole, do not have an impact on the foam's performance; these beauty marks are a result of the autoclave process which places the foam under extreme heat and pressure. The ZoomX sheets are then compressed in a Phylon preform which shapes the midsole parts. Because the special foam is so lightweight (one-third the weight of Cushlon), Nike can use more of it to separate your foot from the ground; this means you get a thick and supportive midsole that will spare your joints as you strike down onto the hard, unforgiving ground.

Vibram Megagrip Outsole

Developed using a Vibram outsole, the Zegama 2 from Nike provides extreme grip and traction on the trail. Developed for use on multiple terrains, the extremely durable rubber can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. A deeper, diverse lug pattern highlighted with greater spacing gives greater traction for more technical terrains, cutting into the earth for non-slip performance so you can feel comfortable every time you step out.
