"Just do it."

Nike offers a vast array of products for an active sports lifestyle. Because every athlete wants to be better, Nike is able to outfit an athlete from the top down with high performance shoes, clothing, socks, bags, watches and eyewear. Since today’s sports are about creating great athletes and transforming them into great players, Nike is there every step of the way to enhance each training experience, making each workout count.

Top quality and performance are key to unlocking your inner potential. With a pair of Nike Shox beneath your feet and a Nike Dri-Fit ensemble to help deflect sweat and discomfort, your goals will be within reach. No matter what your goals are, Nike knows that training and running are a way of life. Keep up with your active lifestyle and prepare for the game with the NikeFit apparel system.

If swimming is more your game, Nike Swimwear has got you covered. From training to team swimwear, Nike remains at the forefront of new and innovative technologies. Nike Swim is constantly striving to develop new fabrics for more comfortable and effective swimwear. Since harsh, chlorinated water is hard on swimsuits, Nike has created an answer with Nike NX fabric. This chlorine-resistant, colorfast nylon fabric can withstand long hours of training and competition while retaining its shape throughout the life of the garment. Excellent shape retention and soft, lightweight comfort can be found with Nike Swimwear that utilizes Nike EVR-X poly fabric. This unique fabric blends in the revolutionary chlorine-proof Dow XLA™ fiber with a comfortable stretch for maximum performance and comfort.

Nike continues to seek new and innovative ways to develop superior athletic products, and creative methods to communicate directly with Nike consumers. Nike Free, Nike+ and Nike Sphere are just three examples of this approach. Nike has always been at the front of technical integration, whether it is from Bill Bowerman’s wife’s waffle iron outsole, the revolutionary Nike Pegasus, to Nike Air technology; Nike is always pushing the envelope on creativity. When it comes to creativity and functionality, Nike’s motto is “Just do it.”

Very uncomfortable! I love Nike brand and Nike shoes but these shoes are not in line with Nike standards in my opinion. Very tight and the back of the shoes comes up to my ankle. I could not get them off quick enough after a 4 mile walk!

This is a good shoe. The band in the inside definitely gives a level of support that many other shoes lack. However, the shape of the toe box is less than comfortable. I ordered the 7.5 in a wide, and I don't like the fact that part of the upper hangs over the sole, as if they made the upper wide on the same sole. Thus, it is not a great shoe. It is good, but I've done better. I purchased these, and the New Balance 626 Wide at the same time, with the plan to keep only one and the New Balance 626 has a more comfortable toe box and forefoot flex, and the sole is adjusted to accommodate the wide upper. Not only that, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the New Balance 626 was assembled in the United States, and well, that made the decision to keep the NB 626s over the Nikes that much easier. These are going back.

I'd also recommend: New Balance!

Fun shoe for casual wear or weights. Probably not the best for cardio workouts. Very cute and lots of compliments! I like they make my feet look smaller.

Great shoe! I run about 40 miles a week and these have been holding up quite well. I find that Nike's always run a half size larger than my normal shoe size. I ordered my usual 7.5 in sneakers and they fit perfectly. Great color and style.
