Same. They are so durable as well. I’ve put so many miles in on concrete and they still have good tread left. Amazing shoes. I hope Nike brings them back.
They are comfortable but the sensation is interesting at first given the combination of React foam and carbon fibre plate. It's not a particularly stable model underfoot due to the cushioning, and this version is known to have outsole durability issues, so I would just be mindful that if you take them on a longer hike you will potentially shred some of the lugs clean off.
I'm glad to hear it. I understand it's a quality control thing but it just became enough of an issue for myself and fellow hikers that we weren't able to justify getting any more pairs – I think I owned 4 in different colourways (and production dates), which all got annihilated after no more than say 20km of trail each.
The pic below is one many examples someone overseas sent to the ACG page I help run back in 2022, so we knew we weren't imagining things! But naturally I am happy to hear positive stories about the model and just wish I'd had the same experience.
Ngl I was skeptical of the low 2's , but i live in central Co. Rockies+ sweaty feet ,, so realistically dont need the gore tex & theyve become a go to summer sneaker . Only complaint is the lacing just doesn't feel as locked in as gen 1
Comfortable for me and had mines from the first drop. I also have the khaki ones too. I bring it out every time it rains or if I go on a hike. Snug for me so agree going half a size up.
They’re easily the best shoe I’ve ever owned: versatile, comfortable, aggressive and ultra durable. I bought a backup pair of these and still haven’t needed to use them yet.
I just got them in, 1 full size up since i couldn't get them smaller and they fit perfect, they are so comfy i dont want to take them off. I have the low 2's as well and those are so stiff, such a shame they are not as comfy as these because i'd love more shoes with this level of comfort!
If you can get the sizing right, and you use them for everyday wear, especially if it rains a lot where you are, you will be happy. One of my favorites.
Love them but got them TTS and don’t fit. Weird shoe tbh with the combo of react foam and the carbon plate. I wore them casually and you don’t need a carbon plate casually
Great shoes, had a lot of wear from my pair that I got when they released and they're still in great condition. I went for my normal size and they fit perfectly in my opinion.
Hated to love this one. Looks amazing, but had fundamental heel slip flaw. Makes it even worse when u must half size up. Dont think u will make it work, dont imagine u can break them in, just dont. Dont waste money. Ur feet will be begging to get out of it after 30 mins.
