Nike Run Defy Men's Running Shoes

Run by your own rules in the Nike Defy. Featuring a foam midsole, super-breathable upper, and outstanding traction, the shoe prepares you for runs of all lengths and paces.

Breathable Mesh Upper

For optimum comfort, support and breathability when running long or short miles, the Nike Defy feature a breathable mesh upper. With strategically placed perforations, the shoes supply constant airflow to your feet, preventing them from overheating and keeping them fresh even when your road run gets tough. The flexible construction softly encases your feet, allowing for free, comfortable movement and a restriction-free stride, while maintaining a seamless design to prevent irritation or chafing from ruining your enjoyment. A cushioned collar and tongue sit comfortably on your foot to reduce discomfort while traditional laces ensure a secure, locked-in fit and prevent in-shoe slipping.

Foam Midsole

For a soft, comfortable landing and responsiveness when landing, the shoes feature a traditional foam midsole. Providing you with underfoot cushioning and a soft, bouncy ride, this comfortable foam midsole spares your joints when striking down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces, enhancing the energy to encourage comfortable strides.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Supplying you with a secure grip across road running surfaces, the Run Defy features a durable rubber outsole. This durable compound provides enhanced longevity and good traction on a range of road running surface types. The waffle design's flexible structure keeps strides comfortable and foot motion natural. Flex grooves adorn the outsole for an improved cushioning effect and increased grip on various surfaces.
