Runner's World Awards: Best Update


We Say: This update is built on a new last that's more snug in the heel and forefoot, similar to the feel of Nike's Zoom Elite road shoe. Besides the air unit under the heel, the shoe features a new forefoot air bag for better protection from the trail and a softer feel underfoot. Nike has also added sticky rubber to the outsole for traction on wet rocks and a new water-resistant mesh to the upper. Deeper flex grooves make the Kyotee slightly more flexible than the original, but not by much. Recommended for runners with normal arches who regularly traverse a variety of trail conditions.
