Nike's running range splits into daily trainers, cushioned cruisers, support shoes, tempo shoes and carbon racers — we match six current models to the runs you actually do.

Nike's running range looks sprawling until you notice that it is organised by job rather than by name. The Pegasus is the everyday trainer. The Vomero is the soft, high-cushion one. The Structure is the support shoe. Zoom Fly and the Plus models handle faster sessions, and Vaporfly and Alphafly are the carbon-plated racing shoes.
