나이키 샥스 Z SE

Overall - A throwback to shox lovers. A little narrow and a rigid for my liking. Especially when you compare to newer offerings with flyknit uppers and other flexible options. Look - Love the shox making a comeback. Had a pair when they first came out hoping to pic up a few more inches in my vertical jump. The shoe is very sleek looking and stylist for the gym or all day wear. Comfort - A bit mixed. The shoe is narrow which makes it feel tight. However the midsole is comfortable and my feet felt fine after a few hours of wear. Durability - Tough to say with only two weeks of wear. But it appears very durable and they shoes still look brand new.

Got these Shox in black with the holographic check and I loved the design and detail. I grew up with Shox and they were my dad’s favorite shoe. I thought this would be a nice casual show to wear but as soon as I put it on I could tell they wouldn’t work for me. They definitely required some breaking in to get used to. At first , they made my feet feel like they were going in opposite directions. I realized the issue lies with the super narrow insole. It’s definitely way too narrow and cuts across the top of my foot. I’ve never had a show to hurt my foot while sitting down and not even walking. I almost walked barefoot to my car at one point. The heel of the shoe is nice and sturdy. I recall Shox having a little give to them in my childhood. These were solid like a brick on my heel. They are a really cool shoe but definitely only meant to style and profile. I didn’t get that far due to the pain across the top of my foot and on my pinky toe while just trying them out at work. I work them for at minimum 8 hours at work honestly they still look never worn. The fabric and material is very durable and and sturdy. I’m not a fan of lines going horizontal on a shoe because it makes your foot look longer. These remind me of bowling shoes. Unfortunately I do wear a half size so it was a little too big and I felt it sliding on the back of my heel. The size discrepancy is too small to go down though. Would get better with a thicker sock.

These shoes are very cool. Design-wise, I'm loving the iridescent rainbow finishes (swoosh and bottom heel part) against the all black fabric of the shoe. I feel super stylish when I wear them. I ordered my usual size (6.5) and they fit -- however, these shoes are a lot stiffer and more narrow than Air Force 1s or Air Maxes. There doesn't seem to be much cushion support so I haven't attempted to wear them out for a full day of walking in the city. (And because I am short, I tend to like shoes with a larger platform / cushion so maybe one day Nike can make these with a cushiony platform :) ) Besides the stiffness, these shoes are definitely well made and sturdy. The fabric has a nice design to the stitching to makes them feel like they could handle a lot of wear.
