Product Summary
The Nike Winflo 8 Shield is a weatherized road running shoe for your rainy day runs. They are a neutral shoe with a 10-millimeter midsole drop. It features Nike’s famous Zoom Air units in both the forefoot and heel for cushioning. The Winflo 8 Shield is only available in men’s sizing and comes in sizes 6.0-15.0.
The Winflo is water-resistant—it features a water-repellent upper, gusseted tongue, tape-sealed seams, and bonded eyestays to keep water away from your foot. The outsole is inspired by all-winter tires to provide traction in wet and dry conditions. Multi-directional shapes help to shed the water and microgrooves grip the road.
