i am generally a fan of nike and nike quality, but i would not recommend these. compared to my many other pairs of nikes, the heel of these is very roomy and the toe box rather confined. as seen in photo, the background nylon mesh is very different from toe to side, so instead of looking like a nylon foot sheath with leather outer reinforcements, it just looks like a mish-mash. the custom embroidery on the back of my custom pair seems to have been ignored and replaced with default NIKE.
