Dude seriously, stay away from Nikes. They are pure garbage. I haven't used a pair of Nikes for running since the early 2000s and haven't looked back. They are cheaply made and overpriced. (OK, almost all sneakers are overpriced but you know what I'm saying).
That said, get yourself some nice Brooks. They hold up much better and usually you can find good deals online. I never pay full price. I find they are much more comfortable than Nikes as well. Nike's toe box always seemed narrow to me. Gave me blisters and shit.
Couldn't disagree more. I run almost exclusively in Nikes and have never had any issues with durability OR pricing. The beauty of Nikes is that 6 weeks after the launch of a shoe, they're discounted because Nike releases new colorways. I've never had to pay full price for a brand new (minus 6 weeks) pair of Nikes. Lunartempos: 300-400 miles. Lunaracers: 300-400 miles. Pegs: 400 miles. Flyknit Lunars: 300 miles.
LunarTempo 2's right now are $75 at RW, use my 15% and I can get a pair shipped to my door for $64. Best neutral lightweight trainer I've ever run in.
