Nike Running Shoes Compared

Trying to work out how one Nike shoe differs from the next? A brand's own website will show you its shoes one model at a time. What it will not do is line up the whole range side by side, on the same specs.

Here is every Nike model in the ATHLO+ Shoe Lab with a full set of specs — 27 shoes, grouped by category and compared on the figures Nike publishes.
