- What is going on guys! Fresh off my second 100 mile ultra marathon - Hellbender 100 - in which I got to put some serious mile on the Nike Zegama 2. I put them through every test possible and glad to say they performed better than I could have imagined. Hope you guys enjoy this one!
Let me know if you agree/disagree if you've gotten to put some miles on a pair.

some improvements Zegama 3 could take: 1.Nike can use more Vibram megagrip ( covers the whole outsole rather than part of it) , with litebase tech to reduce weight; 2.the same with you, this shoe needs more toe cap protection, though this may increase weight; 3. most importantly, it is a bit overbuilt, with some deign elements in the upper seems unnecessary. remove them and the whole shoe can be lighter😍
Totally agree. Think there’s so much they can do without to tighten this up.
Will need to buy this, after watching your review
@@telebiopic Nike was just having a sale on them dropping them down to like $102. A steal if I’ve ever seen one. Hopefully they still have it.
There is a rock plate in the forefoot, same as the first Zegama.
Great review! I bought these shoes and they are sooo comfortable, amazing fit for my feet. I wanna ask Because you mentioning it in the video about the mud and How the shoe got heavy. That bothers me alot because I have a really muddy and wet 100k/ 100 miler (havnt desided yet :) ).
I really want to use the zegama 2 for this run but might swap it for a Salomon Genesis that has the matryx upper which doesnt hold any mud or water, but has a lot less cushining.
Whats your thoughts on that ? :)
@@patrikandersson2284 sorry for getting back so late! I don’t have any experience with the genesis but my feeling is that mud is mud and regardless of what shoe you wear, after awhile it’ll probably start to feel heavy and cumbersome. If you have the funds it might not be bad to switch at a certain point to help fresh up your feet. That’s what I did but the Tecton X2 was not the move lol. But good look on your race!
@@patrikandersson2284 I’ll also say with that in mind, which ever shoe is more comfortable for you would be my pick.
@@TheMilesMatter Thank you! i find the zegama 2 great and probably be keepin them on for the entire race
Thoughts on these as more of a trail hiking shoe? Also in Asheville area. Know lugs arent super deep and no rock plate, but that level of cushion has peaked my interest for 8-10 mile treks.
I’ve done a lot of thru hiking over the years and these would definitely be my go to shoe for hikes of that nature or even 8-10 mile hikes. I will say which I didn’t in the video that they do have a lot of material so I’m wondering if they’d be hot or not come peak summer but even then I’d still probably choose these as my shoe of choice for a multi day hike.
@@TheMilesMatter thank you, appreciate the insight!
Great review. Love that murdered out color way! Where did you find that??? Congrats on your 100 miler finish. 👊
Thanks man. I found it on this website called Mr. Porter a few days before the actual release but have seen the all black colorway in person at this store Public Lands by me and I’m sure you can find it online by now
@@TheMilesMatter Great Review I’m in the UK do you know when this colour way is due to be released in UK?
@@r4edo I wish I knew man, but unfortunately I have no info on that.
I got these to wear casually, haven’t worn them yet but from trying them on, they feel OK but the inside arch is a little high.. maybe as I wear them I will be more comfortable with them
Interesting I haven’t had that issue but that’s all foot shape dependent. Hope they end up working for you.
