His very 1st pair
I ordered these for my husband. So far, he likes them. These are his very first pair of carbon plate sneakers. I ordered a pair 1st, loved them, and then ordered his.
He's worried they won't last the full 300 miles, but we'll see in a couple months. We both feel that our feet and lower legs do less work in these. So to keep balanced, our goal is to switch carbon and minimalist sneakers every other run.
The tote bag we both received in our shoe boxes was a nice treat, but may I suggest a shoe horn instead? These sneakers are tough to get into. We both have to use a shoe horn to get feet inside.
Also, they're loud. We go clop, swish, clop, swish....We sound like a horse and buggy. Although, it's a rhythmic sound so it kind of keeps us calm.
One more thing, he always wears size 10 1/2 in shoes, but deliberately goes up a half size in sneakers to prevent black toe nails.

THEY Squeek really loudly! Run away from these Nikes.
They Squeek! Really loudly! They are short in length. They feel strange on. The fabric is see throgh on top. Not in a good way. They seem like cheap knock offs! DO NOT BUY THESE. I love the fly knot and these are horribly designed. Please stop reinventing shoes and mekt the ones that are great Nike quality!

Fast shoes for road terrain only not gravel because Rocks can get stuck in the fly plate.
Fast, light, comfortable & responsive but best for road only, not trail with gravel because rocks will get stuck in the fly plate on the bottom of the shoes. I ran a 1/2 marathon last weekend. I won my age group but Lost time because the route included a gravel trail section and a rock got wedged into the fly plate on the bottom of one shoe. I kept running with the rock in my shoe hoping it would come out but after a few kms I HAD to Pull over hold onto a tree lift up & turn my foot over, use all my finger & hand strength to get the rock out. After that I went back to a 7:30 minute/mile pace catching up for lost time. I will not wear these shoes again on gravel or trail. Fast shoes, comfortable & light, I love them.

Fastest racing shoe I’ve used. The help it gives with your leg turnover feels like I’m cheating

I die! I die!
The colors are just as vibrant in person. I love how chunky they are. Much more comfy than the older model. The heel is higher and more narrow so I would not necessarily run in these for fear of rolling my ankle. I still love them though. Too too cute. Great gym sneakers or just for fun. By the way, I bought the blue, lavender and neon coral color.
