Has a rain resistant type fabric on it. I had a pair previously and wore them until I couldn't anymore. These are taking longer to break in and I have rubbed a blister on the back of one of my feet. I think it's the fabric that is causing it a longer break in period. Other than that, everything is still good for me.

Great looking shoe. Excellent design and capable of standing up to outdoor activities. Shoe requires quite a long break in period. The material over the toe box is very stiff and when you step, and the material breaks, it digs into your toes quite a bit. But after a handful of days of wear, it does get better and go away.

Very solid shoe. I have worn these in the Brazilian Amazon, and my feet have not gotten wet, albeit I wear my boots when it really pours. Very satisfied with speed of delivery from Zappos and overall customer service.

This unique fabric blends in the revolutionary chlorine-proof Dow XLAâ„¢ 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.�
