Points Scale
Performance 2/5, honestly i am not a fan of this shoe. I Can't handle long runs in this shoe.
Price 3/5 Retails for $90.00 to $110.00 depending on what materials you want on your shoe i would give the shoe a 4 for i paid $90.00, but they up the price for more reflective material and other reasons, really Nike?
Durability 2/5 With just an EVA mid sole i think that in the area that i strike (midfoot) there is some very significant wear after 50 miles
Comfort 4/5 The mid sole is awesome i could wear these all day
Looks 4/5 this shoe looks awesome the upper has its own unique style to it. and the colors you can get in this shoe is crazy as well as Nike I.D.
Total 15/25
Bottom Line
This shoe is alright if your interested in it i would suggest trying it on and taking a test run with them. I wish Nike wouldn't advertise this as a "barefoot" shoe. These shoes are nothing close to a "barefoot" or minimalist. It's flexible and that is just about the only feature it has. Nike+ community is awesome.
