Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 79.6 / 100 — « The Nike Quest 7 takes an unexpected direction in a market dominated by high-stack running shoes. Instead of adding more foam, Nike went lower, and we found that this creates a lighter, more flexible, and ground-connected shoe. We also appreciated the softer foam and improved comfort, especially since the price remains impressively low. However, our lab tests revealed some clear drawbacks, including poor breathability, limited outsole durability, and very little forefoot cushioning. »
  • Solereview : 78.6 / 100 — « In Nike's performance & tempo lineup, the Quest 7 stands out in compression testing with a seamless heel-to-midfoot transition (224 g). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for performance & tempo training. »
  • Runnea : 77.2 / 100 — « Pairing Nike's Nike proprietary foam platform with a 9 mm drop, the Quest 7 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Nike proprietary foam midsole. A smart choice for runners looking for a 9 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
