These are great shoes for everyday wear, the gym, and even solid running shoes. The first thing you notice when you take the shoes out of the box is how light they feel. Nike has definitely pulled off some magic here because despite how light the shoes feel they also give a lot of support. They give a similar feeling to other high support running shoes while being both lighter and more stylish. I was a little worried about how comfortable the V shaped tongue would be and if it would slide down during workouts but it stayed in place and was more comfortable than a normal shaped shoe tongue. All in all this has been a great pair of shoes that I’ll use as my daily gym shoes and probably put a lot of miles on them. My one word of caution is that they run a little smaller than some other brands. In other shoe brands I’ll wear a 10 but for these a 10.5 fits perfectly.

Comfort and Style in One
SoleSurvivor - 12 Aug 2025
Thanks to Stellar Reviews for giving me the opportunity to try the Nike Ava Rover Men’s Shoes. From the moment I tried them I was impressed with how well they fit and how soft they felt. The comfort level is excellent, making them easy to wear for extended periods without fatigue. I really like the design, particularly the way the shoes are cut around the ankle. It creates a cool look and makes them easy to slip on while still feeling secure. The fabric feels durable yet breathable, allowing my feet to stay comfortable while running My only minor drawback was the yellow color that came with my pair, since I did not get to choose it and it is not my preferred shade. However, this is a small issue compared to the overall quality, comfort, and style of the shoes. Overall, the Shoes deliver excellent comfort, thoughtful design, and versatile style, making them a strong choice for both casual wear and light activity.
Fun meets comfort

Picked up the Nike Ava Rover in the celestial gold/crimson, and wow—instant obsession. The comfort is unreal, like walking on clouds. I got them as a men’s shoe and the pink accents give them a touch of playful femininity while still making a bold statement. They turn heads everywhere. Pro tip: they run slightly small, so I sized up half a size and they’re perfect. The chunky sole and bold color combo are totally on-trend right now—these are definitely a vibe.
