Love, love these shoes! This is my third pair in a different color and fabric. This pair is all leather and the color red is a nice red. Not too orange. These shoes are super comfortable. I normally alway wear a size 9 in shoes and this includes Nike. I did size up to a 9 1/2 and am glad I did. My first pair of these I bought in the store and the sales person told me to size up. So for every pair since, I have. A 9 1/2 gives me room, but still doesn’t slip. I have received many compliments on these shoes!

My favorite Nike sneakers. The fit is perfect: holds your feet in place so comfortably, the leather is smooth and it looks spectacular.
