The running shoe industry has long been a game of averages. For decades, legacy brands have designed footwear for a “standard” runner—a hypothetical person with perfectly symmetrical feet and a median body weight. But as any seasoned runner knows, the human body rarely follows a bell curve. One foot is often wider; one arch is

Nike has spent the last decade dominating the podiums with carbon plates and ZoomX, but for 2025, they are completely reimagining how they categorize their daily trainers.

As a running shoe reviewer who has logged miles in everything from the original waffle trainers to the latest super shoes, I’ve seen the “stability” category go through an identity crisis.
