The outside of the shoe makes it look like a normal running shoe but the inside of the shoe looks like a dogs dinner! Nike need to take a lesson from adidas in their style design. Think how ugly a high top shoe would look!

it looks like a trainer os will pobably feel like a normal running shoe during use which isn’t what is needed. Flatter shoes, although not as good for your knees, that give better grip and mor stability are what are needed.

Jeez I was expecting more from Nike. Still prefer the adidas.

I like the new fencing shoes by Nike, and I would like to know the price of the shoe and how can you order them? Will they come in different styles, such as Navy Blue and white, and can they be worn as a casual shoe? I look to you reply.
Thank you

The shoes are going to be between 100 and 150. They’ll be out in August.
