When I run I tend to have soreness in my right ankle the next few days. Does that mean I am wearing the wrong shoes? I have Nike Running shoes. Am I landing incorrectly or putting more weight on my right foot? It's weird because I'd really like to run more but it's uncomfortable for me. I didn't used to have this problem when I was younger.

Do I Need Better Running Shoes?

If you think your running shoes may not be up to par then you can visit a running specialty store where they can analyze you step and see if you are an underpronator, over-pronator or a a neutral step.
They can then determine based on your running experience, body type, running habits and personal preference what types of shoes would be good for you. You can go through a selection and choose the one you like the best.
If you don't have specialty running stores around you then you can always just do some research online about stride types and cushioning and all that then find a store that carries a wide variety of running shoes.

+1 Get your feet and stride examined at a specialty store like Fleet Feet. That's what I'll be doing for my next pair
I hear some runners say Nike is more for style and there are better options...I don't know. I got Asics on a couple recommendations I like them, but I want to make sure I have the best shoes for me

I haven't gone wrong yet with Sauconys. My current pair is so comfortable. I'll need to get a 2nd pair soon before the styles change up.
In regards to your ankle injury. How much were you running prior to the pain starting as compared the just when the pain began? Were you running at all and then just decided to take it back up again and maybe over did it?
All major brands of running shoes have different models for those with different pronation (the tendency to roll the foot inward between the heel strike and push off of each step). Shoes meant for those who pronate more are firmer on the inside edge.

Whether the shoes are right for you or not has nothing to do with the brand - all brands make a huge range of shoes for different types of feet. What's right for someone else is by no means right for you. If you're getting pain in your ankle I'm not sure if its just the shoes that is the problem - have you always had this pain? Ankle problems, especially when they're on one side sounds like something that can be fixed much better with orthotics made for you. If you plan to continue running in the future its probably a good idea to see a podiatrist.
My biggest recommendation is not to stick with one brand just because someone has recommended them - all shoes fit differently, so definitely get fitted properly for shoes at a specialist running store. If you're willing to pay for orthotics, get the orthotics BEFORE you buy running shoes, and take them with you when you're fitted for runners.
