There are several different shoes in the SuperRep line – and different shoes for different purposes.

Nike ZoomX SuperRep Surge HIIT Shoe Review (40)
This is the SuperRep Surge – it’s using Nike’s most advanced foam (ZoomX) and lots of it. It also has a 10mm drop. Think of this as a "running shoe for the treadmill" – but you could run outside with it too.

How do you choose the best SuperRep shoe for you? It depends on what you want to do in the gym.

In this article we’ll compare and contrast the many SuperRep shoe options.

Nike presents a useful and sensible line of sneakers created particularly for calisthenics, endurance, full-body workout, and HIIT exercises. The SuperRep line is custom-made for those active movements, giving targeted comfort at the forefoot, utilizing two Air Zoom pods concealed by a stronger crash pad than standard rubber.

Here are some of the styles we are going to look at:

Nike Air Zoom SuperRep 2 (White/Hyper Crimson/Spirit Teal/Gold) The Nike Air Zoom SuperRep 2 is a class shoe. Meant for indoor usage, it's lightly built, but has plenty of cushion for high-impact HIIT workouts in a class.
Nike SuperRep Go (White/Black/Football Grey/Flash Crimson) The Nike SuperRep Go is a more affordable class shoe. Also lightly built, but very cushioned. The lightweight upper and exposed foam on the outsole mean this isn't an outdoor shoe, but is great for indoors workouts.
Nike SuperRep Cycle (White/Black) Peloton and other forms of indoor biking are all the rage - and the Nike SuperRep Cycle is purpose made for indoor spinning workouts.
Nike ZoomX SuperRep Surge (Black/Martian Sunrise/Sea Glass/Black) Here's the Nike ZoomX SuperRep Surge this is like a running shoe for the treadmill. It is highly cushioned with ZoomX foam and has a 10mm drop - so it's great for long workouts and running. The outsole is tough enough for outdoor usage too - this might be the most versatile SuperRep shoe.

The technology used in the sole unit sets them apart from the others, and with their stylish look and colorway selections, you’ll be excited to go to the gym to show off a bit.

Nike Air Zoom SuperRep 2

SuperRep 2 has a wide sole design, side arcs, and a full-length plate in the sole that presents remarkable balance during lateral movements. It has amazing support with Zoom Air cushioning to keep your foot locked in and protected as you jump, climb, and do spinners.

It has great flexibility through a wide groove right beneath the toe area, which Nike names the “Burpee Break.” This grants a natural tight for movements like burpees, planks, and mountain climbers. It also gives a breathable upper and supportive midsole structure making the shoe very comfortable.

Nike SuperRep Go

This shoe is meant for indoor usage.

It’s lightly built and very comfortable.

But, it isn’t a very tough shoe so it would probably not last long outdoors.

The Nike SuperRep Go blends luxurious foam cushioning, versatility, and comfort to get you going in fitness classes or while streaming workouts at home. It has a soft mesh that breathes and flexes as you move and has a ribbing that compresses around your foot during agile moves for a supportive feel.

The arc establishes support when you move side to side while the rubber tread in high-wear areas gives durability and traction. The midsole is made of a high-density material that is solid and has a middle and side that spread outwards to increase balance during lateral movements. A rubber outsole is in place to cover the heel and balls of the feet.

Nike SuperRep Cycle

The Nike SuperRep Cycle is created to give comfort and breathability to high-heat, fast-paced indoor cycling. It has lightweight mesh materials used in the upper structure to make the SuperRep Cycle shoe light. It offers excellent ventilation for your feet throughout your bike session.

Two Velcro straps secure Nike SuperRep Cycle – one on the toe box and the other over the top of the shoe tongue, to hold your heel in place and to slip on and take off easily. The rubber beneath the heel and toe provide traction while walking to and from your bike.

This shoe uses ZoomX foam to provide cushion – and there’s a lot of it.

Nike Air Zoom SuperRep Men’s

This is the original version of the SuperRep shoe with the Arc system and Zoom air units.

You can still find it – and you might get a pretty good discount too.

Nike Air Zoom SuperRep has a Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot and a spacious, supportive heel to keep you moving and lifting conveniently. The two Zoom Air units in the forefoot are lightweight and receptive to jumping. The Cushlon foam at the heel absorbs shock from high-intensity reps and cushions during lifts.

The stretchy slip-on design is wrapped with mesh for breathability, stability, and a supportive feel. A plate runs the length of your foot for comfort as you go through your routine and gives force over the Zoom Air units to initiate active cushioning.
