Here’s a quick summary of this Nike Zegama video review
The Nike Zegama shines with its exceptional traction, ensuring you stay grounded on even the most challenging trails.
The shoe’s responsive cushioning system adapts to rugged terrains, providing comfort over long distances but that ZoomX midsole is sometimes a double edged sword with it’s high stack height that lacks stability in some instances. The breathable mesh upper keeps your feet cool, supporting longer runs with ease.
PROS:

- Balances comfort and performance for long-distance trail runs.
- Keeps feet cool and comfortable during intense activities.
CONS:
- High stack can cause instability in some scenarios/terrains.
- Tongue could be longer, and padding improved.
