Black Running Shoes(101)

Unleash your potential in our black running trainers. Whether you're a sprinter, distance runner or trail explorer, our shoes support you every step of the way. You'll find breathable uppers that keep your feet fresh and comfortable. Meanwhile, cushioned insoles help protect your muscles and joints. And with grippy outsoles that are engineered to suit the surface you'll be running on, you're all set to chase down your goals.

Unlock your potential

When it comes to running success, the fit of your shoes matters. We make our black running shoes in a selection of profiles to suit your movement style. Higher-profile options give your ankles extra support, so you get better stability on uneven surfaces and over longer distances. Also, keep an eye out for cushioning around the ankle that helps reduce chafing and discomfort. Want a minimal, lightweight design? Look for low-profile designs that hug your foot for a sleek, barely-there feel.

Revolutionary uppers

At Nike, we know comfort counts. Our black running shoes with leather uppers combine sleek looks with outstanding durability, so your feet stay protected mile after mile. If you're hitting the open trail, look for pairs with GORE-TEX technology. This water-resistant fabric helps to lock out rain and keep your feet dry. For lightning-fast sprints and warm-weather runs, we have pairs with breathable mesh uppers that provide air circulation. Meanwhile, their flexible weave ensures your footwear moves and stretches with you for maximum freedom of movement.

Test your limits

Running is a high-impact sport. That means you need black running shoes that provide effective protection. Our Nike Air units soak up the impact of each stride and landing, so you can tackle your distance with confidence. They also deliver great energy return and a springy, propulsive feel that powers you forward. Look for pairs with Nike ReactX foam for revolutionary cushioning that keeps you comfortable stride after stride.

Tackle any surface

We make our black running trainers in a choice of outsole designs to suit the terrain you're tackling. If you're a track-and-field specialist, our running spikes give you the grip and power you need to hone your performance. Running mainly in urban environments and on tarmac surfaces? Check out durable rubber outsoles that work as hard as you do. If you're heading out into the countryside, choose black running shoes from our trail-running range. You'll find deeply cleated soles that provide exceptional grip on wet, muddy or uneven terrain. Meanwhile, deep grooves in the soles mean your footwear flexes with your foot for lasting comfort.

Nike's Move to Zero

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. Since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste. Plus, we repurpose old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets into high-performance yarn for our clothing. If you're ready to join us on our journey, choose Nike black running trainers from our Sustainable Materials range. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content.
