What Reviewers Say

Praised for comfort and a retro aesthetic that pairs well with casual outfits, these shoes feature lightweight construction and responsive cushioning. Fit tends to run large and narrow—sizing down a half size is commonly recommended, especially for those with standard or narrow feet, while wider feet may find true to size works better. Durability concerns appear frequently, with the foam midsole prone to cracking or splitting at the heel after a few months of wear.

Good but
The shoes is of great quality. I’m not 100% sure if it’s made to walk/stand on your feet for 5 plus hours. I love the shoes just can’t wear it to work

Love ‘em but soles wear too fast
On my third pair. Keep buying them hoping and praying the soles will wear longer. They don’t. The protruding squares wear down after about three months of use in the highest wear areas of the sole. Original materials indeed. Everything else about this shoe I love, love, love. Style, colorways, fit, comfort. Very comfortable without too much cushioning to the point of not being able to feel the pavement. Might have to move to the 89 Pegasus or Internationalist just because of the sole.

Doesn’t look like the picture.
I got the Navy Blue. I love everything about the shoe, but the tongue is a thin white material covering a yellow foam. It makes the tongue look like a yellowish off white that contrasts with the bright white on the rest of the shoe. The picture clearly shows a tongue of gray foam covered by white fabric. I contacted Nike, and they said the tongue foam is supposed to be yellow.

Even better in person
I copped the phantom white color way and was satisfied how nice they looked in person. The suede is is great and the knit mesh is nice and breathable. The foam mid sole and air unit really make a difference compared to other older nikes like blazers. All day comfort, nice colorway, vintage look I have a new favorite daily driver.
