Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT%

Pros: Fast, springy shoe providing excellent forward propulsion. Workable at all paces from easy to race pace; performs exceptionally well in and around the tempo pace range, where the firm lockdown and forefoot cushion combine to make you feel like you could run forever. Aesthetic and well-designed too.

Cons: Extremely tight around the midfoot; stock lacing pattern can easily cause the wearer considerable pain. Those with wider feet especially may need to change the lacing pattern. Traction is subpar; not recommended to run on wet or slippery surfaces in these.

Overall: A useful and affordable addition to any shoe lineup. Highly recommended.

As much as I want to say "except for short track intervals," the fact is this shoe keeps works great for short stuff as well as long tempo runs. Great energy return. Great cushioning = great recovery. I've lost count, but I'm on my 4th or 5th pair. The only drawback is the price, so it's best to find a deal somewhere. 

Probably not for everyone, the first run out they felt bizarrely unstable, but ended up being my go-to mile eaters.  Lasted about 800 miles, wish they lasted longer.  I needed about 1/2 size bigger vs other Nikes. 

Doens't perform as well for short distance workouts or higher speed work but still does a good job. This shoe performs best for races 2 miles or above, it does have some traction problems when its wet

These shoes give a very smooth run, and the colorway is great. My only criticism is that they have an off-the-ground feel, which feels somewhat unnatural.

Great shoe from easy to fast miles, I can do all of my training in them so the pricetag is understnadable, no complaints about the shoe at all, even wore a single pair for over 1000 miles.

Great show for the roads and track workouts. I also use it for smoother trails.  The only issue is that they tend to make a squeaking noise.

I am a novice runner, but I really have enjoyed this shoe once I started using them about a year ago. Great cushion and makes me feel like I'm leaning forward when running.  With other shoes, sometimes my legs have this feeling like 'I just don't have it today'. I never get that feeling with these shoes. 

They are pricey. There is no way around  it, but if you can find a sale, I would jump on these. 

Very good but not a good shot to kick around in after it’s retired. The Zoom Air Pod makes it look awkward. The ZoomX foam makes it lively. Fly knit upper is a plus.
