Once again, like many other Nike budget shoes, there are no reflective elements on the Run Swift 2, meaning you need to be extra careful should you be out running after dark.ДЄt $70 I think thereвЂ™s actually good value in this shoe. The upper is plenty breathable with its wide-mesh construction and even though it has a thick 9.0mm padded tongue, the shoe didnвЂ™t feel hot on my feet. This shoe is comfortable on pavement and mild dirt running paths, which is a nice element for a do-it-all style of shoe like this. The outsole also features 2.2mm lugs giving it extra grip on varied terrain. The full-rubber outsole is generously thick at 4.4mm (average outsoles are just 3.5mm), and the rubber is firm at 88.5HC on the durometer (compared to an average of 80.5HC), meaning the shoe should wear slowly and have plenty of life. The shoe seems well built with plenty of welded overlays on the upper to keep debris out and act as an added layer of protection against abrasion. The Run Swift 2 isnвЂ™t all that swiftвЂ¦ At 10.3 ounces (291g) itвЂ™s more of a clunker than a light and nimble shoe built for speed.ДЄgain, I see this as more of a performance sneaker than a true running shoe because of the weight here. The flex was affected just 3% compared to the average shoe being 35.3% stiffer at cold temps. I actually think they look sweet and feel good enough to wear walking around in.ДЄnother positive is this shoe didnвЂ™t seem to stiffen up much in our freezer tests.

Honestly, for me, itвЂ™s a bit dull and I wouldnвЂ™t want to run these for anything longer than a recreational jog, but where I so dig them is just as a town sneaker. Your browser does not support the video tag.
