Nike Zegama 2 Reviews

A 4E-wide runner finds the Zegama 2 very cushy and comfortable.

Their go-to for the back half of long ultras thanks to its comfort, protective cushioning and stability.

They love how cushioned the Zegama 2 feels on long runs over mixed road and trail terrain.

Owns the Zegama 2: heavy, overcomplicated upper and not fast, but loves the grippy Vibram sole and soft, protective ride.

This runner finds the Zegama 2 comfortable and well cushioned but rolls their ankle in it more than any other shoe.

'Miles better than the original': the ZoomX makes climbs pleasant and the shoe impresses on flats. Nike fixed the v1's weak points. He used a racer's loop to stop heel slip.

The Vibram MegaGrip upgrade gives significantly more traction than most trail shoes on loose Colorado terrain. It’s a better-executed max-cushion Nike trail shoe than the original.

Vibram MegaGrip finally brings wet traction to a Nike trail shoe. Cushion seems unlimited, stability is good for the stack, and the rocker is smoother. Still heavy, and the toe box could use more vertical room.

Finds the Zegama 2 a bit clunky but the closest thing to a max-stack road cruiser that stays stable, and it handled trails surprisingly well; the weight made hill repeats much harder and narrows its pace range.

About 50 km on trails over four months, including a hill trail run. They find the Vibram outsole grips well in wet and mud and the ZoomX foam very comfortable, and say it works on road and for hiking too. Complaints are the weight (338 g in a UK 10), laces too short for a heel lock and a high price with no carbon plate; they also warn that the heavy shoe and strong grip could trip a tired runner who starts dragging their feet on long runs. Hard to recommend at this price unless you favor Nike.
