Two colorways—green and white—are discounted, and they're available in sizes 7 to 15, though some have already started to sell out.

The Kiger 9 is one of Nike’s premier trail shoes. In this iteration, Nike shaved some weight off the shoe and lowered the stack height, which gives the Kiger a nimble, responsive feel—especially helpful when negotiating rocky, technical terrain. The midsole is made from React foam, a well-balanced cushioning material that feels soft and bouncy, and it’s paired with a high-abrasion rubber outsole with multidirectional lugs for lockdown traction and good durability. The engineered mesh upper breathes well, so your feet stay cool while running, and an internal midfoot band keeps your feet aligned on the footbed for a comfy, secure fit.

Runners have been super impressed with the Kiger 9’s blend of grip, cushioning, and low weight. “I run on gravel, grass, and road, and it feels great on all surfaces,” one shopper said. “It’s super breathable and lightweight but doesn’t skimp on the cushioning.” Another shopper agreed saying, “These shoes are super comfortable…Soles are very grippy and the cushioning is pretty springy.”

Another shopper used their Kiger 9s while hiking, and said they performed great. “After a few hikes, they've become more and more comfortable,” they said. “They feel light on my feet, and I really notice the comfort on longer hikes.”

The Nike Kiger 9 is a rock-solid choice for taking on challenging trails, and at just $97, it’s a standout bargain, too. But don’t wait around to grab a pair—these popular trail shoes are going fast, and certain sizes are already selling out.
