For some time now, running models designed in the early 2000s have been making a strong comeback thanks to the Y2K aesthetic! For the occasion, Nike and its creative teams have crafted a brand new hybrid model: the stunning Nike V2K Run.
Nike V2K Run: a silhouette that fits right into the trend!
The recipe is simple: imagine the perfect blend between the comfort of a Nike Zoom Vomero 5 and the sturdiness of a Nike M2K Tekno, and you get the V2K Run. A perfect combination of both icons, it features Cushlon technology like the Vomero, delivering optimal comfort and a feeling of lightness. On the heel, there is an oversized panel inspired by the back of the M2K Tekno, itself an updated version of the iconic Nike Air Monarch IV. All the ingredients are here for it to become your must-have for the new season!

Nike V2K Run: an alternative to the competition.
With its silver leather panels, the low-top features a retro color scheme reminiscent of the stunning Asics Gel-Kayano 14. An effective combination of beige and grey, giving the whole shoe a vintage look. With this new design, Nike aligns itself with the trend of sleek runner silhouettes, much like Teddy Santis and his label Aime Leon Dore. A big fan of archive models, the New York-based designer who also serves as the creative director of the Made In U.S.A line at New Balance, has brought back numerous "dad-shoes" in collaboration with his brand. We remember the stunning New Balance 860v2 and its cousin the New Balance 1906R, which featured beige and green tones.
Nike V2K Run: our styling tips!
Comfortable and versatile, the V2K Run offers endless combination possibilities. Its silver upper, reminiscent of the Nike P-6000, gives it a retro look that pairs perfectly with many types of pants. We recommend choosing wider-cut bottoms like cargo pants or regular-fit jeans that will complement the oversized style of the V2K Run nicely.
Nike V2K Run sizing guide and fit
If you are wondering how the Nike V2K Run fits, the answer is: slightly small! Indeed, the Nike model has a women's sizing that runs slightly narrow, so if you want more comfort, we recommend going half a size up from your usual size.
