text: Within 3 months of average wear and tear, the stitching at the front of the shoes had begun to come undone. Shortly after, the cloth exterior ripped, forming large holes allowing my socks to be visible. The sides and top of the shoe only offer support in the form of 1mm of cheap foam and thin black lace. Up until now, I have only ever purchased Nike shoes and I can honestly say that this is my only negative experience with this brand. For the price of these shoes, I expected to be receiving a quality product. Needless to say, I will never be purchasing Nike shoes again. Do not buy these if you want lasting running shoes.
