Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 91.6 / 100 — « The Nike Zegama 2 is a highly anticipated update that we feel completely outshines the original model. It finally features a Vibram Megagrip outsole, enhanced with more ZoomX plush foam, and an upgraded upper that offers excellent ventilation and durability. Despite its weight and the higher price tag of $180, we think it's definitely one of the best trail shoes in the market right now. »
  • Running Lab : 87.3 / 100 — « Pairing Nike's ZoomX platform with a 4 mm drop, the Zegama 2 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (302 g, a 4 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on trail make it a standout contender at $180. »
  • r/RunningShoeGeeks (Reddit) : 88.2 / 100 — « Pairing Nike's ZoomX platform with a 4 mm drop, the Zegama 2 earns strong long-term mileage feedback from runners for its joint-friendly ZoomX ride (302 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 4 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
