Nike Wildhorse 6 Trail Running Shoes
The Nike Wildhorse 6 keeps it stable, secure and lightweight on the trail. An updated outsole delivers the traction you need, while a foam midsole keeps you cushioned on your run.
Breathable Mesh Upper
Mesh uppers encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. When temperatures begin to rise the well ventilated upper ensures a constant cooling effect so you can power through any workout with ease. The mesh at the forefoot combines with materials along the toe to help prevent abrasion. The overlays protect against bumps and grazes on the trail whilst ensuring a secure, locked-down fit when navigating tricky terrain. A collar around the ankle hugs the foot to ensure added comfort whilst also preventing dirt and debris from entering inside the shoe so you can continue with distraction-free strides. The thin tongue features segmented padding which prevents pressure from the lacing to ensure a comfortable yet supportive fit. As well as this, a utility tab in the back allows for an easy on and off. Lastly, flattened Flywire cables in the top eyestays unite with the lacing system to reduce in-shoe slippage and create a locked-down fit.
React Foam Midsole
A full-length platform of React cushioning resides underfoot to deliver feathery durability plus smooth responsiveness. To produce this startlingly lightweight and springy midsole, crafted from synthetic rubber, Nike listened to the voice of the athlete. Their in-house sports research lab plugged footstrike data into a proprietary algorithm that determined how much cushioning was needed where. They simulated testing on (about) one hundred possible shoe geometries to quickly determine the handful they knew would work best for most runners and then merged the science with an elegant design, intended to feel like a slipper on a mattress. The reactive nature of this clever midsole material means it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Soft, generous and substantial, React will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infuse every stride with the kind of zealous power that is often elusive in the running world. Extra cushioning in the heel creates a stable feel and helps to keep your foot firmly on the platform.
Full-Rubber Outsole
Developed using a durable rubber the outsole of the Nike Wildhorse 6 Trail Running Shoes ensure durable protection on the trails. The forefoot and heel have been constructed using abrasion-resistant materials to ensure long-lasting durability and grip. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. Placed specifically in these two areas of the outsole the abrasion-resistant rubber protects as you strike down and take off. As well as this, Nike's sticky rubber has been used within the middle of the outsole to ensure increased grip when changing direction. Ensuring slick-surface traction the sticky grip ensures you're good to go across the sodden ground. Grippy outsole lugs mean optimal grip and easy mud shedding, never killing your pace with weight, and they're strategically placed with a sharp, crisp shape to amplify grip in every direction, in every condition. Completing the outsole is an anti-clog coating which helps to keep the outsole and lugs clean from mud build-up.
