Never mind the comparison; the first thing you need to do is stop considering Nike running shoes. If you want to buy Nike apparrel, fine, but don't waste your time with their shoes.
Nike = Fashion Over Function.
That is all you need to know...

The second thing you need to know is this is a load of bunk. Nike shoes are trendy, yes, but very functional. I have run in some form of Nike for 4+ years, averaging around 4k miles/year. You know how many injuries I have had? Zero.

Shock yourself , best shoe out there now for the super soft pillow ride but faster road feel is the Hoka product.

None of the shoes mentioned here are even close to its feel and protection.

All of my older running friends have converted me. Ive also noted its become a very poplar shoe of Ultra runners.

The LunarGlide is the most pillow-like shoe out there and light for the amount of cushioning you get - whether that makes it the right shoe for you is another question.

Think REAL HARD about your running before paying $150 on shoes that have a specific design that forces you to run in a specific style which is strongly connected to knee and lower leg injuries.

These shoes have thick heels for "damping". While with proper running form, that part of the shoe should hardly touch the road. Yet, due to the heel being so tall on these shoes, it's neigh impossible to not heel strike in them.

BAD SHOES

BAD IDEA

Learn about proper running form, put it into action, and get low offset (heel to toe drop) shoes to transition into. Become a better and faster, less often injured runner.

I am 92kg and happy on Adizero Rockets (to be had cheaply) and Asics Piranha SP3's. If I can transition, everyone can.

Don't doubt, don't thank, DO IT.

Rupp runs in Structure because of pronation. Pegasus is the best trainer out there if don't need stability.
