Universa Medium-Support High-Waisted Pocket 7/8 Leggings

I’m sorry, but this new version of the Universa leggings is the most I’ve ever been disappointed in Nike. I was hopeful with all the positive reviews, but then when I saw most were collected as part of a promo, it made sense as to why what I received was the opposite. The first version of the Universas might be the greatest legging Nike has EVER designed—and might be the only leggings actually worth the $110 price tag. I have 14 pairs in almost every color because they’re so great. But this new version is bad. The material is different (less stretchy and feels cheaper), the waistband is shorter and less flattering, the waist shape no longer creates and accentuates a curve, the pockets are awkward, the compression that was so perfect before is gone, and the sizing is off (I got my normal XS and the waist is about 1.5-2” bigger than the XS in the first version. I have no idea why Nike messed with something so great, but this new version is a fail for me. The only positive was how cute the color is (University Red). Retuned them immediately.

I have 5 or 6 pairs of Nike leggings and absolutely love them! I was surprised when I got these and they felt quite cheap. I don’t think these are medium support and they weren’t flattering like the other medium support leggings I have. Not sure what happened with these! But I definitely don’t think they’re worth the price tag.
