Love the shoes. Super cute, like the snug fit for crosstraining. Sizes up half a size from my other Nikes. However, is no one talking about how cheap the tongues look with the exposed foam and how the foam turns orange/yellow? I had bought a pair and loved them but once the foam turned the entire shoe had an orange/yellow tent and look grungy. Wish better materials were used. Have never had an issue like this with Nike and my family wears a lot of Nike. If not for the foam I would give 5 stars. Have my eyes on another pair but, will not buy because of the foam and know it will be a short time before they too look gross.

Waffle Origin
In 1971, Nike cofounder Bill Bowerman was watching his wife, Barbra, make breakfast on a waffle iron and inspiration struck. He swapped batter for rubber and the Waffle outsole was born. It not only delivers traction, durability and heritage Nike style—it proves that greatness is in the everyday. And that old, rusty waffle iron? Well, it now sits on a pedestal at Nike World Headquarters.

Foam turns orange/yellow.

Loud popping noise when walking
ChristinaD153852427 - Sep 12, 2025
I have 3 of these and all of them end up making a loud audible snapping/popping sound on both feet when I walk. It’s as if something in the base is broken. I was recently walking with a group and all of them could hear it and were asking what was wrong. Otherwise, a comfortable shoe.
Beautiful shoe; wrong size (they run small)

I love the shoes, but I didn't know they ran small. So I shouldve ordered a half a size larger than what I did. Im disappointed. I think the shoe is great and its a pretty shoe, they are just too tight for me.
