A new release that receives high marks from the RW Shoe Lab, from wear-testers and from RW editors. While as-yet unproven over the long haul, the shoe represents a promising new addition to its category.

Runner's World Awards: Best Debut


We Say: The 180 has the same air unit in the heel as the Nike 360, but a foam forefoot provides a firmer base of support, and deep flex grooves make this shoe more flexible, according to RW Shoe Lab tests. The men's version features a new sockliner for a better fit, while the women's 180 adds cushioning to the forefoot to accommodate the average woman's lower body weight. Both versions are equipped for Nike + iPod Sport Kit (see "Keep Your Distance," page 131). The 180 is recommended for runners with high arches looking for durable heel cushioning.

I absolutely love this shoe. It has perfect cushioning & accomodates my high arches. I have tried the shox & pegasus also, and this is by far my favorite!.
