Unless it's GameDay I can't justify wearing purple shoes

The Jordan and Air Max golf shoes are also the best looking/comfortable on the market.

Nike thinks the swoosh is worth more than the material itself.

I think I feel the same as you do though I bought ASICS for running shoes because nike seems kind of less of an expert brand for running, it's like they just copy others, throw a swoosh on it, and think people will eat it up.

It's like when nike first started to make golf products. You knew nike, but you felt like their products were shite and unrefined when compared the brands that had been around awhile.

I think it's safe to say nike is a basketball brand first, everything else is second.

Running purists all seem to hate Nike. However, with of all the models they have, I'm sure almost everyone can find a good one for them.

Nobody competes with them in basketball.

Adidas provides good competition in tennis and soccer.

Golf has so many specialized companies that it's just kind of a mess to figure out who's best.

IMO, the quality of practically all men's shoe brands has gone down over the last 10 to 15 years.

Nike has always been about style over quality. With that said, there's still a lot of good quality Nikes out there. Imo, their attire is best in the market, however shoes I'd go Asics and Brooks if I was a runner. If it's for basketball, LeBron has the best ball shoes bar none, Kobe and KDs are style only as well as the majority of Jordans. Adidas actually makes a very underrated basketball shoe however.

I've worn the Nike frees as casual running/gym shoes for like the past 6 years. They are always comfortable.

I'm not a fan of their newest iteration though.


Agree with all of this. I bought a pair of Frees a few years ago on a lark, and they were the best pair of shoes I've ever owned bar none. They were extremely light, supportive, comfortable, and they looked good.

There's no telling how many workouts I had in them or how many miles I put on them. I still regret having to retire them, and I didn't care for the newest iteration of Frees when I started looking a few months ago.

Nike shoes fit me well, I like them for a "lower end" shoe. If I had my rathers, I'd buy a new pair of Merrells or Salomons everytime, but sometimes the budget doesn't allow.
