Description

Perhaps the most revered shoe on our list, this is the one if you have Kipchoge levels of expectation from your shoes.

After all, these are the ones the late Kiptum wore when he set the men’s marathon world record at the Chicago Marathon in 2023.

The challenge with the new breed of shoes with seriously stacked soles (this sneaks under the World Athletics 40mm limit for sole thickness) is that they’re a bit tippy, especially when turning corners. But, for the latest iteration, Nike has used a continuous outsole for increased stability and an all-new last (shoe mould), fleshed out around the midfoot.
