The way to the front door can seem endlessly long… When it’s dark outside and rain is ticking against the window, the couch has an almost magnetic effect. And even when you do feel like running, the idea of coming home drenched and cold isn’t a particularly motivating one. It’s oh-so often that we spend so much energy on asking ourselves repetitively “should I go for a run or should I stay in?”, that when the time comes to go out you’re too knackered to even bother. Fortunately, Nike has come up with a clever and stylish solution. With their Shield products you’ll stay safe and dry during your winter runs and you won’t have to spend any mental energy on existential questions. The question ‘to run, or not to run’ just becomes a statement: ‘to run’.

Nike React Miler Shield
The design of the Nike React Miler Shield is based on the Nike React Miler, an all-round running shoe with plenty of cushioning which is specially designed for longer runs. The Nike React Miler Shield offers reliable stability for your runs in the wet. The texture of the outsole is inspired by winter tires and offers plenty of grip on moist, slippery trails. So you can confidently keep your pace even in rainy conditions. Despite its weatherproof properties, the upper is still light and allows good air circulation. A water-repellent layer and sealed seams help keep your feet dry. Next to all that, the shoe also features a reliable midsole: the midsole made of React material last long and enables a soft, yet stable running feel.
Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 Shield
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 is a very versatile, neutral running shoe and Nike’s best-selling model. The Zoom Air element underneath the forefoot offers optimal energy return and a slightly springy feeling. The Shield version of this shoe is made of a water-repellent upper material which is also used in high-performance outdoor clothing. So wet socks will be a thing of the past and bad weather is no longer a mood killer! The outsole offers excellent grip on wet, slippery surfaces. The grooves in the outsole drain away water, so that you always benefit from optimal ground contact and thereby minimise the risk of slipping.
