Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 4 Reviewed & Tested
With each new release of a Nike shoe, the sneaker community often wonders how such minimal changes to an updated version of a shoe could possibly outdo the last rendition of it. Nike has again not let us down with the Terra Kiger 4 Running shoe, which features solid additions to an already well-renowned model of shoe. It isn’t very expensive in comparison to the latest editions of other running shoes and offers a lot of value which is exemplified by the detailed and sturdy construction of the shoes. There are several beautiful color options that appeal to men and women of all ages, and each and every pair of shoes is super durable and reliable. You can wear these pretty pairs of kicks in the gym, in rocky areas, or just about anywhere you can think of. Overall, the Terra Kiger 4 is a great update on a tried and true shoe.

Upper
Midsole & Outsole
The outsole of the Terra Kiger 4 features Nike’s classic Dual Density construction. This is a huge plus because it gives you more adequate protection in areas of the shoe that are more susceptible to wear and tear. Though it is often seen as kind of an afterthought, the outsole is actually quite vital in offering comfort and strengthening the foundation of the shoe as a whole. Moreover, it has a waffle pattern that provides multi-surface traction and improved durability. The waffling also aids in giving the shoe more natural movement.
