Product Highlights
The Nike Romaleos 4 features a 20-millimeter heel-to-toe drop for Olympic lifts and squats.
While not particularly breathable, the upper is resilient and durable enough for regular wear and tear.
Nike adds two midfoot straps across the Romaleos 4s for improved lockdown and stability.
While the toe box is admittedly more accommodating than previous Romaleos iterations, it’s still a pretty snug fit.
