Nike' s all-terrain shoe to adapt to mountain surfaces arrives with a major redesign and significant improvements over previous versions. All this without detracting from its capabilities when it comes to offering a maximum level of comfort to run very comfortably on any type of terrain. This is the Nike Wildhorse 8.
In honor to their name, and as implicit in their DNA, these renewed Nike Wildhorse 8 will continue to be those trail running shoes of reference for your most demanding workouts. Its main hallmarks are: responsive cushioning, secure support and great traction for long distances and high mileage.
Talking about the most outstanding new features of this eighth edition of the Nike Wildhorse Trail, it is obvious that its aesthetic change recovers the path of what is a more classic trail running shoe. It loses that extra volume in the rear part of the model -on its sides-, and even the bootie-like format that used to wrap around the ankle area is no longer present.
This does not mean that this important change in the look of the Nike Wildhorse 8 loses support and stability. They are features that are maintained, but from a different perspective. In this way, it can be said that this eighth version of the Nike Wildhorse leaves behind that groundbreaking design that we have seen in the Nike Wildhorse 6 and Nike Wildhorse 7, and recovering the more traditional aesthetics of the Nike Wildhorse 5, for example.
The reconfiguration of the midsole is another argument in favor of this eighth version of the Nike Wildhorse. The star technology continues to be the full-length, dual-density React foam, which is responsible for maximizing those smooth, more reactive transitions.
On the other hand, while the inclusion of the so-called rock plate tends to create a stiffer shoe feel, the behavior of these Wildhorse 8 is not that. You'll have it ready and willing for any of your adventures in trail territory, and whenever you want it.
The upper materials have the mission of ensuring more lightness and structure, as well as improving the breathability section, improving the degree of ventilation of the shoe.
Other details such as a more spacious forefoot area and an improved tongue and lacing system contribute to the increased comfort of these Wildhorse 8.
On the outsole, these Nike Trail Wildhorse 8 feature a high-abrasion rubber compound for superior grip on both uphill and downhill runs. Prominent lugging to ensure that grip on the ground. They are even able to adapt to adverse conditions, for example a rainy day, with all that this entails.
In fact, this Nike Wildhorse 8 is a model with more reactivity, and therefore faster than previous versions. They are not a racing shoes, but they can be a great option for races through water where the mud is very present, and where the paces are more variable. They adapt very well to greasy and decomposed terrains. Of course, their natural habitat is long distances.
In addition, they are trail running shoes for men and women that are oriented to runners of medium-high weight. With greater lightness and agility, the whole shoe appears as a very interesting option for runners over 75 kilos, and female runners over 60 kilos. Mainly, if your preference is to wear a stable, reliable and safe model in multiple mountain terrains.
Finally, the technical specifications of the Nike Wildhorse 8 maintain a drop of 8 millimeters to offer a more comfortable and secure stride. Of course, one of the improvements of this model is that it is now lighter, and its weight is slightly below 300 grams.
In conclusion, Nike Trail shows its "wilder" side with these renewed Nike Wildhorse 8 to run longer distances, but with great comfort and safety, but without sacrificing a more agile and dynamic response than in its predecessor versions.
