BUILT TO GIVE YOU BETTER MILEAGE.
We designed this shoe to come out ahead in the long run. We call it the Roadrunner because that's exactly what it's for. Long distance road running. We've given it a multi-studded sole design that's built for super traction and long wearing durability. The soles are topped off with uppers of nylon and suede that make this shoe as light as road dust. We also give you reinforced toes and heels. Cushioned mid soles. And an extended heel counter for solid support. You'll find Roadrunners at your nearest Nike dealer. Waiting to give you a long distance run for your money.
