NIKE Men's Renew Ride 2 Running Shoe

Product Information

The Nike Renew Ride 2 doesn’t offer much in terms of correction for these issues and might end up feeling uncomfortable once you get into your runs. The Nike Renew Ride 2 is another budget shoe to enter the market, which is a very difficult area to lead in because of the lack of features these shoes have. When a shoe like this has nothing but foam driving you forward, you need that flexibility to help your foot strike and your stride. However, there is no toe off pop meaning your legs must do all the work to get this shoe moving through your stride.

He has an active family, his wife is a marathoner and triathlete and 9 year old son has ran several 5ks. I was worried at first that this had the same high arch that gives so many runner issues in the Alphafly Next %. In fact, I tried that at the National Zoo with my kids and wished I’d worn my Hoka Challenger ATR work shoes instead.

Just 20 mins into running, my feet go completely numb with these shoes (and not even with doing the same run with a nike tennis shoes, or a general adidas walking shoe).

Weirdly, when running it doesn’t feel as bad as when you first put it on, but it’s still not a great sensation. Stumbling into the sneaker game later than usual, he started out behind a camera through long hiking expeditions around the world. More than that, being molded to the midsole means that it’s really durable too, which matches the React foam and makes it seem the shoe can like well into 500 miles. I think this is more of a result of the narrow fit and the lack of stability control within the Renew Ride 2, but I felt regularly unstable on my test runs. While the React foam in the Renew Ride is a great addition, there’s an overreliance on it which leads to little else in the shoe that’s catered to running.I think these are probably aimed more as a casual workout shoe, maybe with a bit of treadmill running involved in it too. Seeking a cleaner aesthetic, Doug now works mostly in fashion and sport, opting for outdoor locations rather than a studio. That’s not entirely true, I wouldn’t go for them myself, mostly due to the sizing and stability issues. It’s nice to see it in Nike’s budget running shoes, it suggests the Renew Ride is going to hold up well over time.

The colorways on offer don’t fit in with what other companies (and Nike) are currently going for in running, which kind of confirms this. This is why I often suggest Nike running shoes for people because they’re the most consistently spot-on with sizing.
