My daughter loves these shoes! As someone who plays and runs nonstop, these were perfect. Every time she gets ready to head out the door, these are the shoes she reaches for. They are great for all the running and jumping during gym and recess. The material is lightweight and breathable which is great for all those sweaty activities. She mentioned that the shoes feel very springy when walking and running. These will be great as a daily runner for the rising temps in the upcoming spring and summer months. I haven’t noticed any visible wear and tear yet but we will see how they hold up with ongoing daily use. I will probably go ahead and pick these up in a few more colors.

Bands at the side of your feet work with the laces to add stability and a secure feel.

#teamnikePerfect for my daughter
Cskings - Apr 25, 2025
Daughter found the shoes to fit true to size and very comfortable. She has now started using them as her daily shoes. The design is great and she been really enjoying the comfort and the color wave of shoes. The fabric is soft and open to provide breathability for feet. She found the soles of the shoes to be her favorite part since they provide her comfort. She does feel that the shoes have been perfect and would not change anything. Shoes are holding up extremely well especially being daily use shoes now.

#teamnikeRunning Technology At Its Best
Steve P - Apr 26, 2025
My 5th grade daughter LOVES the Sonic Fly Big Running Shoes! She is on a club track team that often utilizes both the indoor and outdoor facilities at a local university. The ultra-light shoes work well on both surfaces and the concrete during warmups. She says that the soles keep her feet feeling ok after practice- which has not always been the case with other models and brands! My daughter also likes the ankle support that is provided. She has had trouble in the past with a shoe feeling “loose” while running long distances. Also, let’s be honest, appearance is equally as important as performance for my daughter. She will style the shoes with some baggy jeans and oversized sweatshirt for school. The color scheme (black, white, and gray) go with anything. Nice job Nike! Great versatile shoe for all purposes!
