Nike Fast

I've had a hard time finding mid rise tights with pockets to use for long runs, and for longer races where I can't wear shorts. These work for me. Much better than any high rise, which is now almost every other brand. I could do without the knee panels on back. they are ok, but not as soft a material. Pockets are great, but why not have them on both hips? I went with medium because I hate tight waist bands. Could also probably have gone with small, but these do stay up fine. Often go small with shorts, but medium on tights. These are full length on me, wish tights came in petite lengths too!

The colour was great but the seams around the back knee panels were very itchy and the waistband kept slipping down so not a good fit compared to other Nike leggings I’ve bought in the past.

These leggings are the opposite of my preference in so many ways, but surprisingly they were pretty good! For one, I prefer high-waisted, full length leggings because I’m tall and move a lot with my mixed training. I trust high-waist leggings more to stay put. Even though these leggings are mid-rise, the drawstring definitely kept it in place. I didn’t have to worry about slip-ups or continuously tie them over which was a surprise. My favorite part are absolutely the pockets! There is one side pocket slip where I can fit my phone and a zipper pocket in the back for my keys or chapstick. It’s amazing to have that functionality for a run because my fanny pack gets annoying with all the bouncing. With these leggings I can run without it. I use these leggings exclusively for those lighter activity days. I will say, with the functionality comes a thicker and bulkier looking waistband and I don’t love that. A thinner waistband to me looks more flattering so this is a trade-off. I thought I’d hate 7/8 length, but it wasn’t so bad! I also like the material, it has a really soft feel and is lightweight up to the waistband. I would love this in more fun two-way colors where the etched design of the swoosh had more personality to pop.
