Footwear News has compiled a list of the six trainers available to buy now that will help you get in shape in the new year.

Jordan Brand isn’t all about retro Michael Jordan signature-shoe releases. Some of the brand’s silhouettes are in the training category, including the Nike Jordan Flight Flex Trainer 2, which retails for $110. The shoe features Hyperfuse construction, a flexible midsole, EVA foam lining the footbed for a soft feel and a midfoot strap for support.

If your preference is a mid-cut shoe, the UA SpeedForm Phenom from Under Armour may be the training sneaker for you. The shoe, which retails for $110, features the brand’s ArmourVent mesh upper for breathability, full-length MicroG foam for better-cushioned landings and an aggressive traction outsole.
