Expert Review Sources

  • Running Shoes Guru : 76.3 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 4.4 mm drop and weighing 170 g, the Nike Zoom Rival Multi impresses in real-world track testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on track make it a standout contender at €150. »
  • RunRepeat : 75.6 / 100 — « The Nike Zoom Rival Multi stands out as a budget-friendly spike made for athletes who want to cover many track and field events with one shoe. In our view, its direct track feel and broad versatility make it a strong pick for hurdles, jumps, sprints, and multi-event competitions like the heptathlon or decathlon. However, we think that its all-around design and lack of a premium foam make it less appealing for long distances or advanced athletes who prioritize performance. »
  • Solereview : 74.3 / 100 — « Pairing Nike's Nike proprietary foam platform with a 4.4 mm drop, the Zoom Rival Multi delivers progressive forefoot flex and evenly distributed Nike proprietary foam compression on the mechanical test bench. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for track & cross-country training. »
