The Jordan Trunner NXT is built to handle long training runs and cone drills in equal measure.
Jordan Brand's new trio of running shoes — the Jordan Trunner NXT, Jordan Trunner LT and Jordan React Havoc — are designed explicitly to aid team sports athletes through conditioning (5k to 15k runs) and speed-focused training.
Each has NIKE, Inc.'s React technology for long-lasting cushioning — after all, cardiovascular fitness is built stride by stride — and are engineered to help support larger athletes (think lineman and post players) through dynamic, side-to-side movements and fast-feet drills.
Jordan Trunner NXT
The Trunner NXT is designed to cushion larger athletes through training runs. The extended heel fin creates a distinct aesthetic and enhances heel to toe transitions. The shoe is also made to tackle speed drills requiring hard cuts, such as cone and shuttle drills, with the support of a diamond-shape cage that helps stabilize the foot during lateral moves.

Jordan Trunner LT
The Trunner LT carries the same full-length React tooling and extended heel as the Trunner NXT, but offers a lightweight mesh upper and a more minimal support cage.
Jordan React Havoc
The React Havoc is built to support long conditioning runs and traditional sprint training. The distinctive geometry of its midsole, familiar to fans of Nike's React family of running shoes, contains a Nike Zoom Air bag in the forefoot for snappy transitions on the track. The TPU heel cup also provides stability for bigger athletes.
All three new running silhouettes, including the limited Jordan Trunner NXT HTM, release July 1.
