Very cute little running/gym shoes. Very comfortable and attractive looking, and they go with a variety of clothes. I even wore them to work couple times and got compliments on 'em! :)

I usually wear a size 7, but that size was out of stock, so I took a chance and ordered a 7.5 hoping it wouldn't be too big. I'm so glad I did! The 7.5 fits great! (The 7 would have been too tight I'm sure.) The sneaker runs a bit narrow, so keep that in mind when choosing your size. Overall, it's a great, comfortable sneaker! I'm glad I purchased it!

Although the fit was a little tight initially around the ankles, they eventually "worked themselves in". Great shoe for walking and light jogging. Very comfortable and light.

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.

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.

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 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.�

Nice comfy shoes for non-top-o-the-line Nikes. The construction is a bit flimsy. Beware: "Overnight" shipping took 10 days! UPS or Zappos dropped the ball on my shipment big time.
Brands I'd also recommend: Nothing fits like a Nike!

I walk a lot, and these are great shoes. They're comfortable and light: a great buy. I wear them to work approx 8-10 hours daily. My feet or back never hurt after a long day.

Just got these shoes and I like them a lot. I haven't got to wear them outside yet but I know they will be great to walk/jog in. They are lightweight. I was amazed by how quickly I got my order. I received these shoes within 18 hours after I ordered them. Thanks Zappos for the fast delivery!

I read other reviews that said these were a bit tight and to order 1½ sizes larger. I did and I probably could have stayed with my original size.

I looked everywhere for some nice and affordable Nike sneaks and I came upon Zappos. Best thing that happened - found two sets of shoes at a great price with great shipping. It was an awesome experience. A+.

These are surprisingly comfortable. I have not had a pair of Nike shoes in a long time because they were never comfortable. I read some of the reviews before I purchased. Others found them comfortable, and they were a reasonable price, so I tried them. They are worth it!

Beautiful! Just as pictured and arrived really fast! I ordered them two days ago and they are already here! Haven't worn the shoes in but they have sturdy soles and are true to size! I also love the design!

Really nice shoe, unfortunately it runs small. Also, more narrow because of the way it is designed. Too tight for me to be comfortable.

These are very comfortable straight out of the box. I usually wear a size 10W, but these were all right for me. I bought the violet color. They are gorgeous! I am thinking of purchasing another pair.

I bought these in hopes they would be similar to the Air Alvord 8 in purple/black that I can no longer find. They are very close in style and fit, so I'm quite pleased. They are comfortable and have just enough support without feeling too restrictive. The arch support is not substantial but it is there. The style is perfect for the gym or for casual wear.
