I normally gravitate towards Nike running shoes but decided to try them mainly because they cost under $50 and seem to be what I was looking for in a running shoe: something pretty. only that will do the job. First impression out of the box: This is one hell of a looking shoe (I like the gray herringbone to be honest) First impression of my feet: Very comfortable, true to size, and again they look really good First impression on the road while running: Nothing special, a bit lacking in ankle support but nothing detrimental, not too heavy and a bit more padding and cushioning than my old Nikes
