They remind me of the ones that come in extra super wide for people with swollen feet, I think it's the punched leather

tierraJ · 27/07/2019 13:36

I don't think they look good, there are other Nikes that look much better

fancynancyclancy · 27/07/2019 13:42

Yes & I normally a fan of Nike’s

sallyscallop · 27/07/2019 13:45

I've got those (different colour) They don't look anything like that on 👍🏻 I love mine

HundredMilesAnHour · 27/07/2019 14:35

They're dreadful, sorry OP.

Is it the colourway you think, or everything about them?

colour doesn’t help

Jaffacakebeast · 27/07/2019 15:01

Yep, they’re rank

HundredMilesAnHour · 27/07/2019 15:38

The colour is particularly rancid but the style is also dire. I'm shocked at Nike releasing something so "old lady on a cruise thinking she's down with the kids".

Hideous.

goose I agree, they remind me of the dr scholls loafers with the punched leather you see on sale in chemists in Europe sometimes.

What do you think of these?

Yes.

The style of chunky trainers in fashion are fila disruptors or balenciagas etc, which don’t have such a large sole. It’s both the thick/plain sole and the colour that makes both pairs of trainers posted look orthopaedic.

Alexander McQueen trainers have a chunky sole but the shoe has a sleek aesthetic which prevents that orthopaedic vibe.

Why are you into these trainers? Eg do they have a slight platform?

handslikecowstits · 27/07/2019 17:26

I think it's 'hearing aid' colour, OP. They'd look better in a different one IMO.

The Air Force ones don't look good on me somehow and I don't find the chunky flatform as comfortable

Yes. My MIL would love them.

I don’t like the Reebok toe

sallyscallop · 27/07/2019 18:46

Gosh, I'm scared to wear mine now!! Mine are perfect for the job (gym) as they have great arch supports for when I'm running.

TantricTwist · 27/07/2019 23:14

They look like they're more geared towards work foot wear such as Sketchers. Comfy and practical when you're on your feet all day

BlueMoonAndRedNose · 29/07/2019 13:30

I like them both! Blush

gingersausage · 29/07/2019 15:01

Is this a sponsored post? The title is strangely specific 🤷‍♀️

FoggyNelson · 29/07/2019 19:07

Have you considered the Air Max Theas? I feel like they have the sleekest look about them out of all the Air Maxes, and they're fairly comfortable.
