I normally lean towards Nike running shoes but decided to try them mainly because they were under $50 and that seems to be what I was looking for in a running shoe: something very simple , that will do the job. First impression out of the box: This is a damn good looking shoe (I really like the gray herringbone to tell the truth) First impression of my feet: Very comfortable, true to size, and again they look really good First impression on the street when running: nothing special, some lack of ankle support but nothing detrimental, not too heavy and a bit more padding and cushioning than my old nikes
