Nike Revolution 8

Nike Revolution 8 review: what runners say

Fit

Runs narrow; some runners report needing a half size up, especially with thick socks. Toe box is slightly wider than previous versions.

Feel

Cushioning improved over the Rev 7, with decent bounce and smooth transitions. Not as soft as a high-stack shoe — rides more like a lower-end daily trainer.

Durability

Thick rubber outsole with good coverage; sources report reliable grip on dry asphalt. Expected mileage not explicitly quantified, but consensus points to durability adequate for the entry-level category.

Best for

Casual runners or beginners for runs up to 10K. Suited for heel strikers. Not recommended for marathons or structured speed sessions.

Weak points

Narrow fit, particularly in width and with winter socks. Limited forefoot cushioning flagged as a recurring shortcoming.
