How do they perform though? Anyone like Nike’s offering of trail shoes?

I’m stubborn and dead set on full Nike gear for moderate hikes. But the more I look into trail running and the outdoors I’m leaning more towards technical offerings. Goodbye brand synergy.

Those spikes on the Terra kigers aren't going to last hiking/trail running. Nike's running line traditionally hasn't been nearly as good as other brands although they have gotten better in the past few years.

I haven't looked into it in a few years but Salomon is supposed to be good and I run in Asics.

He’s right Nike outdoor stuff sucks. Nike is only really top notch when it comes to b-ball shoes

Are there any cool high top dunks, AJ1s or Blazers coming later this year?

The college pack dunks are far and away the dopest I’ve seen in a while. Slept on and not more than 200 or so on stockx and goat.

Nike just dropped more blazer mid 77s in monochrome canvas

in terms of using nikes for an athletic purpose, the metcons are probably the best cross training/crossfit shoe on the market

they're also real ******* ugly, though. they've started doing the rare PA for metcons, with this monstrosity coming out soon:

(i think the red represents blood, and the black is your inner demon you fight when training alone? or some stupid **** like that)

I like the Metcons and find them nice looking. Depends on the color you choose.

The more expensive Nike bball shoes are great but the rubber is soft so they don't last outdoors. I had to switch to UA. I tried the KD Trey which has firmer rubber but the fit was off and I kept stubbing my toes.
