I normally gravitate towards Nike running shoes but decided to try them mainly because they cost less than $50 and seem to be what I was looking for in running shoes: something very simple , that's enough work. 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
