The Nike Flyknit Air Max ($225) is Nike’s lightest most flexible running shoe to date. It fuses their classic technology Air Max soles with new tech Flyknit uppers. Weighing just 12.8 ounces it features an ultralight Flyknight upper, a light waffle pattern outsole, Flywire tech for a snug comfortable fit, and a sculpted cushion midsole.
These newly dropped Adidas Originals Tubular Runner Black/Onix ($110) are a redo of the ’90s ZX 7000 silhouette. These feature a Neoprene upper with leather and synthetic overlays and snakeskin embossing. The uppers also feature leather heel accents and turquoise tongue pull tabs. The whole kit rides on a chunky EVA outsole.
