This is 8th pair of Nikes in 15 years. The last better than your average sneaker. My knees and joints are getting there so I wanted something with superior cushioning. I guess this is as cushioned as the come.
Performance 8/10 - As usual I get a half size larger on Nikes because they are a snug fit for me. The contours are great and wrap well. Heel guard isn't too stiff and is flexible. The shox feel really good but need some getting used to as far as balance. Not like you'l keel over, but it's slightly different. Good airflow that keeps it comfortable too.
Price and appearance 7/10- Not a big fan of the exposed shox but I guess that's what makes the show. Feels like I'm on stilts but otherwise not an issue. Price is average, and is usually worth the durability.
In general, this is a good walking shoe if you need the extra bounce or cushion.
