The 6 Best Nike Running Shoes of 2025Esquire's Top Picks
"Nike has answered the call for an ultra-lightweight (we're talking under 7oz) racing shoe with its Vaporfly line. The Vaporfly 4 is its newest modela sleek silhouette that takes propulsion to the max. A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate delivers a race-day feel, and the midsole intentionally bulges out by the heel to reduce weight on the inside of the foot for a more stable ride."
"Next up is the Vomero Plus. This technically-advanced design is heavy on the cushion, so you're going to be extras comfortable in this shoe when you're putting on the miles. A giant stack of a full-length ZoomX foamthe most responsive foam out thereis giving you Nike's highest energy return. Great for a casual runner or an older runner, but it's also one that a serious marathoner would like to have for long slow-pace runs."
"If you are looking for an entry level pair of running shoes that don't sacrifice quality, turn to the Flex Experience Run 12. The plush, soft upper hugs your foot for comfort, grooves in the outsole make for ideal foot flexibility, and a low foam stack keeps it lightweight while still providing support. For a 5K or less, it's a no brainer."
