Our verdict

The girl nike grey and bright orange color code brings a Pegasus-like look at a much lower price, and we think that makes it very appealing for a lot of runners. In our lab bb4, we found the firm foam and high 12 mm drop match its budget-friendly design, yet on our runs it still felt steady and easy to use. And on top of that, it brings better grip and strong durability, making this a genuinely positive update.

girl nike grey and bright orange color code | Who should NOT buy

The steep 12 mm drop may feel higher than expected for some runners, and we consider there are many interesting alternatives, such as the New Balance Fresh Foam 680 v8 or the ASICS Gel Contend 9.

We also found that shock absorption remains limited, especially for forefoot strikers. From our perspective, this creates a less forgiving feel during longer runs, and we suggest here a solid alternative: the nike air yeezy shop deutschland shoes outlet hours.

Cushioning

Shock absorption

The girl nike grey and bright orange color code remains a cheap running shoe, nike zoom basketball shoes gold and black.

This is common in shoes at this price, since they’re designed more for casual or occasional runs than long-distance efforts, plus the budget doesn't allow for an advanced foam. For that purpose, the 109 SA / 83 SA results should work well for most runners and it's a small improvement over the 108 SA / 72 SA of the Quest 5.

Energy return

We’ve tested ComfiRide foam in other Nike models, so we didn’t expect standout energy return as we really know that EVA has clear limits. Still, for such a low-priced shoe, the 50.8% rebound feels modest but reasonable.

Heel stack

You probably noticed that shock absorption in the heel is noticeably higher than in the forefoot, which usually hints at a steep heel-to-toe drop. But let’s confirm it with exact measurements.

Starting with the rearfoot, we found 35.2 mm. That’s quite generous for a low-priced shoe and makes the Quest 6 an appealing option for heel strikers who want a high stack height without spending much.

Drop

The forefoot is noticeably thinner than the heel, giving the shoe the familiar geometry seen in many Nike daily trainers. In fact, we found that Nike clearly built the Quest 6 for heel strikers, as it delivers a substantial 12.0 mm drop from heel to toe.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Nike used its EVA-based ComfiRide foam for the Quest 6, a material the brand often includes in budget-friendly models like the Journey Run.

We discovered during our runs that it feels noticeably firm, so it doesn’t deliver the cloud-like comfort of higher-priced shoes and instead provides a more stable, grounded ride. After testing it in the lab, we confirmed this with a 25.0 HA measurement.

Rocker

The low forefoot stack allows to keep the shoe in a classic shape without a pronounced rocker. For beginners, this works really well, making the Quest 6 comfortable for daily wear and smooth enough for easy runs.

Width / Fit

The girl nike grey and bright orange color code comes only in a regular width, so this is it—either it fits you well or it doesn’t, as there’s no wide option available.

After we created our gel mold, we took three measurements. The first came in at 94.1 mm, which sits close to the average and should work for most runners.

Toebox width

The second measurement focused on the toebox, which is usually the most important area for most runners. We found a similar result to the first compared to the average, with a 72.7 mm reading that doesn’t stand out and follows what we jokingly call a “Pareto fit” aiming to suit around 80% of runners.

Toebox height

No one should feel unwanted pressure in the Quest 6, especially since it’s not designed for long-distance runs in the first place.

Traction / Grip

Traction test

Nike is often seen as a brand with a weak reputation for traction, but we discovered that they are clearly working to improve it. And the Quest 6 is a strong step forward, because a 0.44 score gives solid grip on dry surfaces and decent grip on wet ones, easily beating the poor 0.11 result of the Quest 5.

Outsole design

The girl nike grey and bright orange color code uses two rubber patches placed across the forefoot and heel. These patches use small lugs arranged in the classic waffle-inspired pattern from Nike shoes, while the midfoot features a large cutout that exposes the foam and reduces weight.

Flexibility / Stiffness

Despite the low forefoot stack, the absence of flex grooves and the thick rubber layer make the Quest 6 slightly stiffer than expected for this category, and it reached 14.6N in our lab test.

Weight

The added cushioning and durability in the Quest 6 come with a slight weight increase over version 5. It now measures 10.0 oz or 283g, which remains reasonable for this category of cheap shoes, though we hope this becomes the upper limit for future Quest models.

Breathability

The upper of the Quest 6 looks highly ventilated at first glance and feels quite good for a budget shoe, which usually comes with simpler materials.

However, when we tested airflow with our smoke machine, we discovered that ventilation is more limited than expected. In the end, we rated it 3/5.

Using a powerful light behind the upper helped us examine the material thickness and the effectiveness of the ventilation holes. Here, it’s clear that Nike focused more on durability and comfort than airflow.

girl nike grey and bright orange color code mesh

Our microscope test confirmed this, showing large ventilation holes that are mostly blocked by a secondary layer.

We would have liked a bit more airflow, but overall, the Quest 6 delivers a solid upper for its price. It’s comfortable, nicely built, and suitable for most of the year.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The girl nike grey and bright orange color code is a fully neutral running shoe, and we don’t think it’s a solid choice for runners who need added stability. However, thanks to its firmer foam and wide forefoot base, we believe most neutral runners will get enough support for daily runs.

We also liked how the exaggerated heel bevel smooths the transition for runners who land on their heel first.

Torsional rigidity

One thing we loved about the Quest 6 is that it feels very flexible from a torsional standpoint. After we found it a bit stiff in our 30-degree bend test, we discovered this low torsional result at 2/5, which helps the shoe stay adaptable and comfortable for all-day use.

Midsole width - forefoot

One of the changes Nike made from the Quest 5 is a redesigned midsole with a wider net base.

The previous model measured 107.2 mm in this area, while here we recorded 117.1 mm. This is a major shift between generations and helps the toe-off feel much more neutral.

The heel also grew slightly, going from 86.2 mm to 88.6 mm, which keeps the design moderate and brings it closer to the average shoe. A touch more width could be helpful here, especially since this model is clearly tailored for rearfoot strikers.

Durability

Toebox durability

Our first durability test pits our Dremel (5K RPM and 2N of force) against the engineered mesh of the upper, and it’s 1-0 for the Quest 6. The multi-layer mesh handled the challenge well, and a 3/5 result is a solid outcome.

Outsole durability

Outsole thickness

Nike understands the paradox of running shoes: most runners expect a budget model to last longer than a premium one. To help with that, they added a generous 3.8 mm of rubber to the outsole, giving the Quest 6 noticeably more lifespan than many pricier shoes.

Tongue padding

We liked that Nike added a tongue loop to keep everything centered, and the lacing system feels solid and dependable. It also uses what Nike calls the Midfoot Fit Band on each side, which adds security by pulling the foot in as you tighten the laces.

nike quest 6 lacing 23975162 main

What really surprised us is that the tongue looks ultra-plush, yet our calipers showed only 5.8 mm of padding, proving why precise measurements matter more than initial impressions. But still, it's really comfortable and strikes a good balance between padding and weight.

Price

There’s a small price increase in the Quest 6, though it feels fair once you factor in inflation. It still lands comfortably under 100 dollars and delivers the kind of solid, basic features you’d expect from an entry-level trainer.
