Who should buy the Nike In-Season TR 8

The Nike In-Season TR 8 supports the movements of high-intensity interval training. More importantly, it is suited for anyone regardless of where they are in their fitness journey. This Nike pair is a solid choice if: 

  • Your day-to-day activities or your job requires you to be on your feet for several hours, and you need a shoe that offers comfort even after prolonged hours of use. 
  • You suffer from bunions and are after a pair that would not be bad for your foot condition. 
  • You prefer a shoe that keeps your foot cool and dry as you go about working out intensely in warm environments.

The Nike In-Season TR 8's outsole

The sole unit of the Nike In-Season TR 8 is the same as the one used on the previous model. It features an exposed midsole, but high-wear areas are protected by rubber pods. The cuboidal traction pods provide a multi-direction grip.

Flexible forefoot

Flex grooves are placed in the forefoot section. They enhance the pliability of the material and aid in the smooth heel-to-toe transition of the foot.

Shock-absorption

The heel of this workout shoe is concaved. The hollow portion helps dull the impact during heel landings.

Shock attenuation

The In-Season TR 8 uses dual-density foam. The outer layer is rigid and durable which protects the softer core. This construction aids in attenuating shock and keeping the foot steady.

Anti-slippage

A soft foam insole lines the inside of the Nike In-Season TR 8. This layer cradles the foot, preventing in-shoe slippage and helps dull impact when it hits the ground.

Breathable upper

A tightly-woven mesh makes up the vamp and the heel of the Nike In-Season TR 8. This fabric helps with foot containment.

Meanwhile, a different type of mesh is used on the midfoot panel of this training shoe. The material aids in keeping the interior fresh. The inside is lined with a soft textile. The fabric aids in wicking moisture and breathability. Synthetic overlays are used on the midfoot and heel section of the upper. They add style to the top, but they also serve in securing the foot.
