Potential improvements, particularly in the quality of the laces and the overall performance of running shoes

In September 2025 I invested in two pairs of Nike running shoes at full price, based on the recommendation of a friend who trains for marathons and is one of your brand ambassadors. With all goodwill, she suggested the Vomero 18 and the Air Zoom Pegasus 41 Gore-Tex. Unfortunately, I now regret following that recommendation. Not only has my running pace been noticeably slower compared to when I run in my Saucony Kinvara Pro, but I’ve also had consistent issues with the shoelaces on both Nike pairs. During a 10k run, I had to stop five times because they kept coming undone. This wasn’t a one-off incident — it’s been a repeated frustration, and it’s disappointing to experience this with such a popular and respected brand. I’m sharing this feedback for the second time now (first attempt in November 2025) in hopes it helps drive improvements, particularly in the quality of the laces and the overall performance of these shoe models. I genuinely believe in the value of user feedback, and I hope this is taken to heart.
