Nike C1TY Premium CORDURA®

I really like the upper part of the shoe. The design is great and the durability and fabrics are what I was looking for. I don't live the rear / upper finish material where you put your for into the shoe. It has a cheap look to it which doesn't make sense to me as it doesn't match the quality of the shoe. The reason for two stars is that the soles of the show what out incredible fast. These are marketed as city shoes. I wear mine commuting to work and I walk about two miles a day total but only three days a week. Likely 8 miles per week on average considering the other days I wear them. After about three weeks the sole at the ball of my foot was worn halfway already. In a month or two I'll likely be without meaningful tread at the ball of my foot. It seems that this is due to one nub for tread on the inner ball of the foot that takes the brunt of the work. They should have included additional nubs. Secondly, the rubber chosen is soft. I wish they would have used multiple materials.

Wanted a new pair of black sneakers for work, bike commuting, and walking around the city. These sneakers are incredibly comfortable, especially spending all day on my feet at work. The support is super cushy. I went a half size up based on other reviews about the tight toe box, and I’m glad I did. It’s roomy in the toes, which is good because I usually wear thicker socks in the winter. The color is not exactly how it appears in the product photo. As others have said, the suede part of the shoe is certainly more dark navy than black. Doesn’t bother me too much. One thing to note as somebody who rides a bicycle everyday, the upper part of the shoe, near the eye stay and collar lining, is very stiff. When you’re pedaling it can lead to some rubbing. It’s not the end of the world, and it might soften with wear.

Really solid pair of shoes. That brown and gray color ways are just so clean! The shoe themselves are very comfortable and I appreciate all the little details.
