They look very similar and both have very cushioned midsole. You can thank the comfiness of Nike\u2019s ComfiRide cushioning and extra high foam stack.\r\n\r\nThey are noted to be lightweight coming in at 11.4 oz for the men and I couldn't find what the women\u2019s weighed. But, if I am being honest I thought they felt a little on the bulky\/heavy side for a running shoe. \r\n\r\nThe heel-to-toe drop is 10mm and they offer very high stacks of midsole foam that is said to give the shoe an ultra-cushioned ride. But, I don\u2019t think they are as plush as they look. \r\n\r\nLike most Nike shoes, they are updated with new technology and have a very modern look to them. Some of the technology offered is a new engineered mesh upper, premium material on the tongue and collar, new soft carbon foam, and lastly, the regrind rubber outsole.\r\n\r\nLooking at other shoes that are in a similar ballpark, I would strongly recommend the Nike Winflo 11<\/a>. They are both budget-friendly daily trainer that offers some new technology. \r\n\r\nBut, although I do like the Nike Journey Run, the Winflo 11 is just an all-around better running shoe<\/a>.","introduction_text":null,"conclusions":"[caption id=\"attachment_46652\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1280\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nMy conclusion of the Nike Journey Run is a mixed one. \r\n\r\nI love how they look and they are good for shorter runs. These are not a shoe I would lace up for a 5k I plan to PR<\/strong>. \r\n\r\nI would grab these for days when I knew I would be walking all day long. \r\n\r\nIt's a great choice for a casual shoe that gives you style and it does perform well for short medium-paced runs<\/strong>.","model":"Journey Run","_model":"field_5c1600ad0113f","who_is_it_for":"They are a great choice for the beginner runner.

Well not with these. Nike is a brand that is known to make good-looking shoes and the Journey Run is sharp. \r\n\r\nI bought the white, orange, and blue color scheme. I love how they look and I get many compliments when I wear them.\r\n\r\nTrying them on for the first time, I found them to be a little bulky feeling and on the firm side<\/strong>. \r\n\r\nI loved how they looked on but I had to wear them a few times to break them in to fully see what they had to offer. They do run on the slightly bigger side<\/strong> but not by much . I wore my normal size but had lots of room and could probably have been ok in a 1\/2 size smaller. \r\n\r\nMy first run in them was a 5k at a moderate pace. Like I stated before, I had to break them in so I didn\u2019t care too much for them on that first run. Don\u2019t get me wrong, they are very comfortable shoes but a tad stiff. \r\n\r\nI wore them around for the next few days to break them in and eventually took them on another run. One of the main areas I enjoyed was the midsole. I do like a nice plush and high-cushioned midsole, and the Nike Journey delivers on this<\/strong>. ","_first_impressions":"field_6313304ba000e","sole_unit":"[caption id=\"attachment_46656\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1280\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe sole of the shoe is where this shoe shines<\/strong>. You\u2019ll notice the extra cushioning it has in the heel from just looking at it. In the midsole, Nike has placed \u201csculpted stacks\u201d of soft low carbon foam that helps to provide the most amount of cushion for a comfortable ride.\r\n\r\n The midsole is loaded with Nike\u2019s top of the line cushioning and from the looks of them that they would feel very plush but they do give off firmer feel. They worked well at very short distance runs but lacked in energy return when they were taken out for longer runs.<\/strong> With having a higher stack height and an almost bulky midsole , I felt that they were not the most stable. \r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_46662\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1280\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe outsole is a rubber that provides you with nice traction on the roads, sidewalks, and track surfaces. \r\n\r\nIt would not be a shoe I would use on gravel, dirt, or trails. This rubber material is made with sustainable Regrind rubber. Regrind is the same material that gyms will use for their flooring.","_sole_unit":"field_6313305d53bc4","custom_fields":{"model":"Journey Run","cons":[{"cons_line":"On the firmer side "},{"cons_line":"Cushioning isn\u2019t as plush as they look "}],"pros":[{"pro_line":"Budget friendly "},{"pro_line":"Versatile "},{"pro_line":"Upper is very breathable "}],"vote":"6","purchased_from_name":"Nike","purchased_from_url":"https:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-3445118-13067763?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nike.com%2Ft%2Fjourney-run-mens-road-running-shoes-s4H8jR%2FHJ9290-085","comfort":"6","build_quality":"6","upper_rate":"6","sole_unit_rate":"6","landing":"5","transition":"6","toe_off":"6","traction":"6","durability":"7","value_price":"8","who_is_it_for":"They are a great choice for the beginner runner.
