The new Nike ZoomX Ultrafly Trail is a helluva shoe and I've been fortunate to throw them through the review guantlet for the last year+. Now that they're almost hitting the market, i thought it was the perfect time to drop my review of this $250 shoe. What are YOUR thoughts?

I love that you actually mention the madness of shoe pricing today! 🤩
IS THAT A FOOT-SHAPED NIKE SHOE??? This has to be closest to foot-shaped I’ve seen with Nike at least. This and the Vibram outsole makes me want to consider it.
I've found the nike trail shoes i've tried (kiger and zegama) to have decent toe box volume tbh. That having been said i'm definitely fairly middle of the road when it comes to width, salomons are too narrow but altras (except the slim footshape ones) are too sloppy
What does "foot shaped" even mean? I think my feet are foot shaped and there's no way I can run in Altras. Stop with the marketing gobbley gook. Agreed with below that Nike trail shoes are a very accommodating fit, especially compared to their road shoes.
Don't forget the Nike free
Any shoe that fits one’s own feet well is obviously good. However with long narrow feet myself hearing a shoe fits rather wide is not what I want to hear but no doubt the reverse is also true. Shame really that there does not seem to be sufficient commercial value making more than the odd shoe model in different widths. Got to think this one is far too niche compared to say a Brooks Ghost to do so.
@@df540148foot shaped like Altra and topo, doesn’t cut across the big toe. It’s actually really important to people with natural shaped feet - not just marketing. I actually find some other brands, including Nike Vaporfly and wider Inov8 pretty foot shaped too. Adidas, the worst pointy shapes
Saw the new Zagama at WSER….Vibram sole. Finally.
really great video production. I love sitting at the cross roads of runner culture and sneaker culture. this is great!
When you don’t have $250 as a negative, that’s all you need to know about how good of a shoe this is
And yet folk are saying the NB Fuelcell Trail might be even better than this! My poor bank balance 😢😂
Have about 30 miles in mine. Really have loved running in this shoe. The vibram outsole is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. I would say it shines on fire roads and light technical trails. Gnarly trails it’s ok.
Love your reviews. Used to watch them all the time. Wish you did more of them. 🙏🏻
Definitely going to buy a pair or two when they're on clearance
So want this shoe as I’ve been waiting for Nike to add Vibram to their somewhat not great traction trail shoes which fit well, but $250 if a hefty pill to swallow.
Ginger approved, I have to try it!
I do like Nike - ran in the Wildhorse, Zegama, and Pegasus Trail.
This said, the Arc’teryx Norvan LD3 is bombproof with Vibram for A LOT less that $250!
Nice I remember how comfy you said they were during trail tested! At the end of the day it’s a super shoe carbon plate etc so price wise it’s cheaper than Alpha fly vapor fly in 🇦🇺it’s cheaper than Tec X 2 A380 and Endorphin Edge is only $10 cheaper than Nike NordaOO2 Speedland &Kailash are all high A$400 i like the look of the NB Supercomp trail but as I stated in comments the toe box is supposed to be snug? Although NB are good with there width availability! Hope you can test them soon!
Got this shoe at a discount, and I'm loving the wide toe box. I have flat and wide feet, so this is a saviour. I may be weird, but I'm loving this shoe on road, oh well. Thank you for the review. Fyi, the one i got is the normal colorway, the funky orange and purple was still at retail price. Again, great shoe review, and thank you.
Just got mine. No runs yet but it fits soooooo goodd! Really looking forward to first runs with it.
I'm pretty certain that, out of all shoe reviewrs for this shoe, I have yet to see a negative review. I know I'm stoked to try it!
Have you tried out the new Terra Kiger? I love that shoe. I’ve done a few half marathon Spartan races. It worked well.
Just copped with a birthday code!! Can't wait to test them! I don't know why but I get Virgil Abloh design vibes off of these shoes?
This shoe is pretty great. Great cushion, traction and bounce for moderate trails. Only bad thing so far is lock down. But that might change once I get 30 plus miles
60 miles in. Great lockdown. But atleast once every run , laces have to be re tied
Enjoy Nike road shoes, but always sceptical on their trail shoes. This may well be a try for me, though!
Ordered mine today!
11.1 oz? That’s pretty heavy. Love Pebax foam. The Vaporfly is sub 7oz….wonder why this shoe is so heavy. Would have loved to hear more about the performance of the carbon plate on the trails.
Is that possibly the pre-production weight maybe?
The answer is outsole rubber. And thicker upper.
Just managed to get these on sale, can’t wait to get them on feet!
Saw these at the Wy’east Howl in 2021 on 2 of the 3 half marathon podium.
I really want to try the new gel-kayano 30 or the nimbus 25, though I'm still not quite sure which one to get. Seems like the perfect easy/steasy run shoe.
Like $5 golf balls. Are they good...yes. Worth it for my game?? Same with 200 barrier for shoes.
Noo, say it’s crap please. I finally got my trail shoe favorites figured out after the last year of trail and error (see what I did there?) and I do not want to spend anymore money trying new shoes in hopes they are perfect and be crowned my new favorite. Until next month anyway…
Wishful thinking grabbing these on sale. I expect a limited run, and they sell out immediately. Maybe by Christmas some new colorway. With all the long term Hype, them adding the Vibram, I think its going to be a Win for Nike and a Fail for mass availability.
Just picked these up for $120 US I’d like to say absolute steal 😆 can’t wait to try them out!
Looks awesome
It's going to retail in the UK for £229.95 and this would make it $295 with the current exchange rate 😮
Ugh. I hate these prices dammit!
The $250 is ex-tax as that is how US pricing works as sales tax varies per region whereas £229 is VAT inclusive. So their pricing is unfortunately basically the same in the US and UK.
Ouch ! Inov8 looking to be a better choice?
Just paid £207 on sale for mine, from pro direct, not quite a bargain but better than full price ha!
Carbon plate nike last about 1000miles plus in my experience.
Ive been in the running footwear industry since 1994.
Holly crap, a Nike w Vibram!!! Sounds promising, can’t wait.
You changed the snare hits in your intro music to snaps!
Some additional layering too :)
Finally Nike teamed up with Vibram! Best of both worlds! Hopefully more colour ways will appear on the market, white trail shoes just don’t sit well with me. And the price. I shall wait for price to drop and more colour ways.
How is the grip on more muddy terrain? The lugs seem pretty small. Also are they at least water resistant, or does a small splash equal trench foot?
The price and weight puts me off would probably just use for an ultra as its too heavy for shorter trail races
Why would anyone make a trail shoe in WHITE? (or even a road shoe for that matter)
Great review !!!! is that good for the road as well????
I mean, it can be, but definitely designed for the trail
The Nike trail shoes that I've worn over the years have always been comfortable. However, the lugs have always been too shallow and were sketchy on tech or sandstone. So, I've limited my wearing this shoe to loamy trails near my home. (Currently have the Peg 4 trail) At $250.00, will it be better than the Hoka Torrent or other models?
Just visited Nike website and it's 260$. It's insane. Tons of better options in better prices.
This is the first time (at least for me)I’m seeing that you recommend buying a shoe which costs $250. Even though I’m not a trail runner, I want to buy one
Little puzzled by reviewing a prototype. If it has been good for lots of miles over a year and is still holding up well why was the outsole considered so bad it was swopped out. I wonder if the Vibram has added weight and/or has otherwise changed the feel of the shoe. Also for a shoe marketed for racing it seems very heavy from what have heard. Is that the Vibram I wonder...
A NNormal Kjerag has a vibram megagrip litebase outsole but is stunningly light. It can't just be the outsole.
It’s an early sample vs prototype, but I definitely agree about weight. While the number is higher than I’d like, it really didn’t ‘feel’ heavy or clunky 🤷
The Nike outsole sucks. It doesn’t stick to rock at all and gets slippery when wet. Fine for gravel and dirt but if you are getting into alpine or run in rocky rooty areas that get wet it’s borderline unusable.
New Balance super comp trail seems like it might be a better shoe- stability and outsole look like they'll provide more for the runner than the Nike does.
I agree possibly! But early reviews suggest a snug toe box! So unless they bring a wide version I’d have to pass ☹️
Seconded.
It’s interesting thus far, for sure
My big critisim is this shoe was designed for the Trail's in the US and none technical trails with its shallow lug depth. Over here in Europe the trails are narrow with uneven variable rocky terrain and mud galor it just doesn't have the depth in the lugs to deal with the terrain over here in the UK and EU.
It's designed for some of the US trails. There are loads of really technical trails that compare with those in Europe.
How would these outersoles hold up on concrete paths and bitumen roads?
At 7:43 I just hit the stop button. Absolutely absurd price for a pair of shoes.
I'm calling it now, this is going to be in the Gear of the Year...you just watch...
What's your discount code for running warehouse
When is the Zegama 2 coming out???
Praying for a kiger 10 with vibram 🙏
they look great as theyre not crazy lookin, but twofiddy is a bit crazy
Can anyone let me know if this shoe would be good for straight up day- hiking? I had Speed Goats prior and I'm a fan of trail shoes for hiking.
It's actually listed on Nike as $260 now
I’ve been seeing this shoe in the Asian Nike website for several days already
Been running in the summit Vectiv pro….hoping this is a better alt. Carbon plate at the top of the midsole I’m kinda on the fence about with the summits.
I’m rotating that shoe now, agree
@@TheGingerRunner have done one 11, then 18 1/2(5500 gain), then 2 short runs followed by another 18 1/2(5700 gain). Second long run caused me hot spots on left ball of foot….almost a blister) Not sure why the second long run in summits it acted up then. Insoles aren’t great….if they were padded more, wonder if that would help. Just to note, was wearing ultra ininji socks during both long runs.
Considering my invincibles midsole falling apart i would not try zoomx on a trail shoe, zoomx is fragile
heck for that price.., I need to hit up an employee to buy this shoe for me.., so I can use there employee discount
Best idea yet!
I would like to see a more flexible less expensive nylon plate version :-)
Can we get a trail tested with this and the hoka tecton x 2?
There’s already a trail tested with this shoe!
I am still sane and would never pay close to 200 for a shoe. I'll wear my shoes soleless.
Anything over $200 hurts my soul
No mention of the weight/drop/stack? A bummer that you weren't able to review the final product.
It’s in the title during intro
Just wish they'd release non-plated versions
Honestly, the plate isn’t too intrusive. But taking the plate out could reduce the price, I’d hope!
a quarter of a Thousand Dollars for a pair of shoes. Insane trend that I can't support anymore.
brb gotta sell a kidney
27/07 here in the uk!
How does the ZoomX midsole perform compared to the midsole in the Zegama? That midsole was terrible. Major disappointment for me. So firm and dead.
I disagree about the premature wear out of the Nike midsoles. At least when it comes to React foam. I've ran in more than I can count and remember, and never experienced it. Never. Except from the foam that TnF uses, react is the best there is.
Save yourself some money and get the Nnormal Kjerag. Smokes this Nike 🔥
250 dollars for the shoe and that’s where I shut off video but great review.
I'm here to checkout how great is this shoe because it is currently on 11.11 sale for a 54% off. Has anyone tried it and felt worth it?
I know, I'm that guy. But after souring on Nike over the last decade, Kara Goucher's book was the final straw. Nike might make great shoes, but the company sucks.
Vibram like vibration
I know you said you got "a year" out of these shoes, but I wish you could have given a mileage. Because I really can't see how non-elite runners are going to get the value out of a $250 shoe.
For me, I have to say 500 miles. I’ve hit the 500 mark on mine and the midsole is starting to have less energy return and the lugs have gotten worn.
He did give the mileage several times: 200 miles.
@@jumpman11alamo200 miles isn’t enough per the review. When do they start to “sunset”? 300? 400? If start to finish its 500 before they retire, in my case- mowing the lawn at 500 miles I might be ok with that. Anything shorter I’d be dissatisfied.
I mentioned it in the review, a few hundred at least. I usually stop counting around 60-80 or when a shoe is reviewed. In this case, I documented my first run in Trail Tested and waited until they were made available (far longer than I expected). With the number of shoes I rotate through, it’s hard to accurately put a number to these, but I’m probably being pretty conservative honestly.
With as many shoes as you test, strava or Garmin should be the go 200 for mileage tracking those shoes! Thanks for the review! I wouldn't consider 200 miles a lot or worthy of $250. That carbon plate probably doing more damage to your feet than it is making any of us faster.
It would be a nice shoe if they ditched the carbon plate and replaced it with a flexible rock plate. I can only imagine my leg pain after running many hours in a rigid carbon plate shoe.
The carbon isn’t very intrusive, but agree a nylon plate could work AND reduce price
@@TheGingerRunner if the carbon isn't rigid, then the nylon would work the same...I think the marketing department helped design this shoe.
For a second i thought the name was ULTRAFAIL
How to wash this shoes 😢?? properly
zoom x is king
Any word about sense of carbon plate if there is?
It’s pretty mellow, not totally intrusive like it can be in some road shoes. I like it
Ouch. Especially if that’s the only colorway.
And hell yeah for the eff bomb. Hahaha.
Forget $200. I’m tired of shoes being over $100. Ridiculous
At that price absolutely never going into my rotation!
Yep, unless it goes on sale.
Ugh, I know.
Tread looks a lot like Sense Rides. Huh. 😂
I like how they kind of covered up and concealed the swoosh. That's really what it deserves.
Wonder if this would be a good shoe for Javelina Jundred 🤔. By the way my girlfriend thinks you look like Ben Afleck in this video. 😂
How anyones paying more than 100 for runners unless pro or rich is beyond me. They’re consumables, I’m going through 5-10 pairs a year.
Holland 🇳🇱 price is €249,99 😱🫣
Well. I have it for three months . they are expensive but I found them half price .
What I think ?
- they are not bouncy
- they are heavy
- have no grip for the forest
- too stiff too be comfortable
- way too large
- not exciting to run in
Worst trail shoes Nike made despite all the good points you can hear sometimes
The first time I see a Nike trail shoe I would consider trying, but 250 dollars...? Seriously? This should be Endorphin Edge price range and these are available with nice discounts at the moment. So again, no reason to buy it. Also, shouldn't you have tried the final version? I can imagine that in a year they have changed considerably.
Only thing that’s changed is the Vibram
$340 CDN. ooof.
Indeed. Ugh.
$250????? I'm out!
Would 30km be enough to make the shoe not the stiffest shoe of all times?? Seriously… only real downside is that it’s stiffer than VF and AF, like WT…f.
If im not getting 500 miles from a 230 quid shoe then no chance
$250 USD = over $300 Canadian + 13% tax in my province. I’ll never buy it
$371 AUD lol.
A$ 330 on website!
Way too expensive. Folks, buying these won't make you an elite. You'll have the same amount of fun for half the price.
200 miles is not that much...hard to know it's durability
Nike reminds me of Apple. Its not that its a bad or inferior product but it seems you have to pay an extra coolness tax cause of the name.
$250 Shoe
How much?!?... 😂😂😂.... 😢😢😢 I'll stick with my Peggies.
The discount code is useless for most of the shoes reviewed in the last two years. Just FYI
