However, all good things come to an end, and the Roshe was officially discontinued in 2015.

That, of course, explains why the Roshe Run is back again in 2023. Given Nike's recent internal shakeup in the name of chasing “breakthrough innovation,” it might feel a tad cynical that the sneaker giant is reanimating yet another well-trod model from its archives.

Nike is notorious for having a narrow design. For many people, this means needing to get a size 1-1.5 inches BIGGER than their normal size. It's not necessarily “smaller”, just skinnier. But most people don't have long, boney feet like characters in Medieval paintings.

When the original Nike Roshe One released in 2012, it introduced the world to this zen philosophy in footwear design. Exuding calm comfort with a simple mesh and phylon construction, the Nike Roshe One provided support sans filler. Now, nearly five years later, the time has come to build on the success of the original.
