Nike Revolution 5 Review (2021): Should You Get It?

8.9

Overall score

<strong>Good, simple and functional road shoe at a low price</strong>

The Nike Revolution 5 is an entry-level road shoe with a stylish design. It offers a simple and functional configuration with a basic sole using rubber on the outside and EVA foam on the inside. The result is comfortable cushioning with all the responsive cushioning you need to have fun.

The upper is also stripped down with a simple layer of knit. The ventilation is thus optimal but several runners have noted that the upper is, unfortunately, a little fragile.

As you can see, the Nike Revolution 5 is a basic model that represents good value for money at around 50 pounds (60 dollars). Moreover, with 255 grams (men’s version), it’s a relatively lightweight model. It can be interesting to alternate with your main shoes during easy recovery workouts or to run at the gym on a treadmill. If you’re looking for an inexpensive but slightly more advanced model, the Nike Legend React may also be a good choice.
