Nike V5 RNR

I’m a big fan of any shoes that bring a retro feel to a historically ignored market- kids shoes! When I pulled these out of the box for my son, both my son and daughter immediately loved the way they look. The hit of blue on the side was a real hit for both kids. As far as performance goes, my son did note that they feel lightweight, like he wasn’t even wearing shoes, but that’s as far as he went into it, leading me to believe that they are overall comfortable and a good choice for everyday wear. He can wear these on a bike ride, then immediately start playing football in the back yard, then get back to chasing his sister around without changing shoes! These look like they were influenced by the Vomero, which I love. I get a real kick out of retro inspired styles for kids. It all started when I got my kids pairs of Cortez a few years ago. I’m glad that Nike has continued to incorporate retro styling, AND lightweight performance (those Cortez weren’t the most comfortable for them :)). Overall, I recommend! How these will fair over time is yet to be seen and I worry a little bit about the mesh on the toe box which has a tendency to get very dirty, very quickly. Overall, solid shoe for active kids.

I had the opportunity to try the Nike V5 Runner shoes for my daughter, and at first, I was skeptical because she usually doesn’t like wearing shoes. However, the moment she put them on and stood up, she loved them! She normally says all shoes are too tight, but not these—the fit is perfect, and they offer plenty of room. The width is just right for her, and an added bonus is the stretchy laces, so you don’t have to worry about tying them every time. She can simply slip them on and go. I didn’t give them a full 5 stars only because she just got them, and I want to see how they hold up after a few more wears. But seriously—don’t walk, run, and get your little ones these shoes.

Great shoe in a stylish color scheme. I could appreciate the bulk look but not a heavy shoe. It’s really light and my child had no issues walking or running in them compared to other shoes. They were a bit challenging to get on. I had to assist my child versus usually being able to do so on their own. Once the foot is in the shoe. It fit just right. Maybe a half size up would make it easier to get the shoe one. The shoe is breathable, durable, and comfortable. They have a little spring and could be used for many activities from the gym, running, cycling, or energy expending activities. I like how comfortable the shoe is. The worst part is the challenge with getting the shoes on. Overall, definitely please and will look to buy additional color ways.
