The Nike Shox Swift running shoe is the best cushioned shoe I have ever worn, and I should know. I log approximately 20-30 miles per week running outside and on a treadmill and run in at least one road race per month, anything from a 5K to a half-marathon. I’ve tried a lot of different brands and styles of running shoes.
he new Swift is an update of the Shox 2:40. At 11.3 ounces, it’s Nike’s lightest Shox shoe ever. RW Shoe Lab tests showed it to be one of the most flexible shoes in this guide. The Shox columns attach to a redesigned, flexible-plastic cradle that delivers a better heel-to-toe transition than previous Shox shoes. Nike added foam to the tongue and the ankle collar to give the shoe a more customized fit and a snug feel. Recommended for runners with high arches who want a fast, lightweight shoe.
The Nike Shox Swift is a speed-seeking missile. This lightweight, responsive men’s running shoe attacks the open road with a completely new seven-puck Nike Shox platform for the ultimate in enhanced cushioning and support.
This shoe runs a bit narrow, but they fit my orthotics and feel great on my feet. They also look stylish - I have the black, blue, and silver ones. They are very lightweight (8.9 ounces) - great for speed workouts or long training runs.
