Best for
The Revolution 8 is Nike's entry-level neutral trainer, and at $75 it is priced to be a first pair. The mesh upper is more breathable than in the last version, the foam midsole has comfort-focused rocker geometry, and flex grooves run through the cushioned outsole. It weighs 292 g.
It suits you if you want a cheap, simple shoe for easy runs and getting started. It covers short, relaxed mileage well, and the rocker helps the stride roll through without much thought.
It is not a lively shoe, and it is not built for tempo days or long distances. The basic foam gives up refinement and response in exchange for the price. It is a starter shoe, not a training tool.
