A modified forefoot minimizes irritating “hotspots” and increases overall fit with isolated front eyelets. Mesh uppers have been modified to provide protection against obstacles like rocks, mud, roots and branches. Meanwhile, the Air Zoom Terra Kiger 6 is sleek like a Pegasus in its construction but stout in its stylings. Even the lacing system is modified, with a lateral fit band increasing lockdown. This rough-and-tumble build is juxtaposed with a full-length React foam footbed, which itself is contained by a horseshoe-shaped piece of firm rubber in the heel. The collar of the shoe is very comfortable with a mini gaiter able to prevent the entry of small debris.Thanks to a 5/8 cut sock upper and thick mesh/sturdy synthetic materials, the Wildhorse 6 doesn’t lose any durability in its pursuit of comfort. The upper is perhaps the best part of this shoe, breathable, lightweight, and at the same time very enveloping and protective in the parts where it is needed, on the tip and in the back. The tread material is anti-abrasion to last over time. The tread pattern is brand new compared to the K6, with cleverly positioned lugs in both the front and rear part. The React midsole compound, combined with the Zoom technology, helps performance on runable stretches.Ĭompared to the previous version, much drier and suitable almost exclusively for fast runners, the Kiger 7 has 3mm more material in the forefoot area that makes it more cushioned. It also performs well over longer distances even if it is not an ultra cushioned shoe. Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 7 is the trail running shoe that we most recommend for those who want to tackle short and medium distances on technical and preferably rocky terrain, ideal for light trail runners who prefer performance in races and training from 5 to 15km.
