About the shoe
Nike Interact Run stands out as a lightweight, breathable daily trainer that excels in comfort and versatility for easy runs, walks, and everyday wear. Its plush Flyknit upper and flexible sole make it a strong choice for beginners or those prioritizing comfort, though its midsole and outsole are best suited for short, easy efforts rather than fast-paced training or challenging conditions.
Lab tests and user feedback highlight exceptional upper durability, with perfect scores in Dremel abrasion and resilience tests. The Flyknit material resists wear better than expected for the price, though outsole grip is noted as a minor weakness.

Expert and user consensus positions the Nike Interact Run as a budget-friendly, entry-level daily trainer best suited for short, easy runs and general fitness use. The Flyknit upper is praised for comfort and breathability, but durability concerns and minimal cushioning limit its suitability for long runs or high-mileage training. The midsole is described as soft but lacking in responsiveness and energy return, making it less ideal for tempo runs or racing. Traction is below average, especially on wet or uneven surfaces, ruling out trail use and limiting confidence on slick roads. Most reviewers and users recommend the Interact Run for casual daily training, treadmill sessions, and recovery runs, but advise switching to more robust models for serious training, long distances, or competitive efforts.
- Exceptionally lightweight build reduces fatigue on daily runs and walks, making it easy to wear for extended periods.
- Highly breathable Flyknit upper keeps feet cool and comfortable, especially in warm weather or during longer outings.
- Impressive durability in the upper and overall construction, offering reliable performance despite the budget-friendly price.
- Flexible design adapts well to natural foot movement, enhancing comfort for casual runners and walkers.
- Midsole lacks energetic bounce, resulting in a less responsive ride that may not satisfy runners seeking speed or propulsion.
- Outsole grip is limited, making it less suitable for wet surfaces or technical terrain.
Best for and fit
Daily training
Ideal for Best for beginner to intermediate runners or walkers seeking a lightweight, breathable, and affordable shoe for easy runs, daily errands, or gym sessions. Ideal for those with a neutral gait who prioritize comfort and flexibility over speed or aggressive cushioning, and who typically run on roads or well-maintained paths.
First Nike Flyknit under $100. Upper is divided into thicker rear for heel support and thinner, highly breathable midfoot/toebox. Weighs 8.5–9.2 oz (men’s US 9). Not designed for long-distance or high-mileage runners; best for daily training, gym, and casual runs. No stability elements or rocker geometry. Excellent breathability and comfort for the price.
Sizing: Generally true to size; no widespread recommendations to size up or down. Fit is consistent with other Nike Flyknit models, but users with very wide feet may find the toebox slightly snug compared to extra-wide offerings.
