About the Ultrafly Trail
Nike’s Ultrafly Trail blends the plush, responsive ride of a road super shoe with the grip and durability needed for long trail efforts. Its stable, cushioned platform excels on smooth and rolling terrain, but the unstructured upper and higher weight limit its performance on technical trails. Best for runners seeking comfort and speed over long distances where terrain is moderate.
