Nike Joyride

Why Beads?

They’re soft, they’re bouncy, and they form the core of an innovative new cushioning system designed to help make all the ways you move feel easy—even running.

A Softer Cushioning System

We spent years obsessing the beads—finding the right size, shape and feel to deliver a soft, comfortable ride. Here’s how it works: Every time you take a step—or stride—10,000+ beads shape around your foot to provide personalized cushioning and support, before responsively bouncing back to propel you forward.

Absorbs the Impact

That soft ride doesn’t just go easy on your feet—it helps your whole body feel good. The Nike Joyride cushioning system offers 14% better impact absorption when compared to some of our most trusted running shoes (tested with Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 and Nike Epic React FK2).

Feels Fresh Every Run

Nike Joyride is designed to work for every runner, at every stage of their journey. It helps keep your legs and feet feeling fresh, so you’ll want to go again—whether yesterday was the longest run of your life or your first run ever.
