Customer Service

I do not understand why Nike has this model of messing with a good thing. they used to be the best running shoe around for my running style, but in going after other shoe buyers in the market, they ignored the buyers that were Nike loyalists. I emailed them about the shoe that was fabulous. Their response was that times change, so do their shoes. alas, my feet have not changed.

Performance

They were sold to me as good cushioned neutral shoe. Even running trails it is not very good heal cushioning.

Strengths

lightweight

Weakness

fit, color, cushion
