If you’re anything like us, you’ve had the same pair of running shoes for years. They’re ol’ reliable—maybe a little torn, with the sole wearing off day by day. Yes, you probably need a new pair, but with so many options out there to choose from, where do you turn? Luckily, one of our favorite athletic brands just dropped one of the hottest new running sneaker designs on the market right now: Champion’s new Sport Run sneakers. We partnered with three active influencers to wear them out on runs and workouts and put their durability and comfort level to the test.

With an enviable platform style and Cush-ION comfort technology, these #FitTokers prove that the Sport Run sneakers rank right up there with the best of them—and come in at an affordable price. Below, check out these trendy new sneakers in action, and see why they’re perfect for your next workout upgrade.

The Reviewers:

Fitness influencer and self-proclaimed “wellness Barbie” Kayla Elledge tested Champion’s new Sport Runs out for herself and agreed that they’re “worth the hype.” After unboxing the shoes, the first thing she pointed out was the trendy, colorful design—a colorway of hot pink (Hi Barbie!) and bright blue with a white platform. “Life is too short for boring colored running shoes. The brighter, the better,” she said. Then, she took her new babies out for a workout and spoke to their comfort: “They have the perfect amount of cushion to support ratio and I didn’t experience any discomfort.”

As you can see, these bad boys aren’t just stylish, they’re also perfect for any kind of daily workout—and former college track-star-turned-#FitToker J Johnson Jr. agreed. While doing a speed endurance training circuit, Johnson opted for the bright yellow and teal pair, then hit the track to start his workout. He attested to their lightweight material, saying that the Sport Runs helped him stay “light on his feet” as he took to the track for some sprinting drills.

Can the Sport Runs withstand running as well as shorter circuit workouts? Check out influencer Tiffany Henriques’ review of the Sport Runs for your answer. Henrique is just like most of us: She used to hate running. But after pushing through for a few months, she’s become somewhat of a fitness guru on TikTok, sharing with others how to get started on a running journey. So, we trust her when she said Champion’s new Sport Runs are perfect for running on any kind of surface.

While on her favorite trail at sunset (dreamy!) she tested the new sneakers, pointing out that the Sport Runs handle terrain like grass, gravel and concrete “like a champ.” She also notes that the shoes kept her feet cool (huge bonus in the summer months), and she had no blisters or discomfort.

The verdict? The Champion Sport Runs have these FitTokers buzzing, and we’re adding them to our carts immediately. So, if you see us walking around everywhere in these, now you know why.
