Are Nike running sneakers totally out of fashion among upper middle class women?

It isn't like they're hard to find.

It's a ghetto shoe, though.

I don't think a racist anonymous internet poster is the arbiter of what's fashionable or not.

Ghetto and ghetto fab are not racist terms in this context; it’s a type of fashion aesthetic.

I bought a pair of Hokas a couple of years ago because everyone raved about the cushioning. They were great for maybe 6-8 months, then the cushioning really wore out. My Nikes last far longer (for more miles).

I think Hokas and OC sneakers are trendy, and for people who are using them primarily for running errands, going to fitness classes, short runs, any shoe is just fine. But all the serious runners I know wear shoes that fit their feet best, and honestly it's still mostly Brooks and ASICS.

6-8 months with 20+ miles a week? You’re wearing your running shoes wayyyyy beyond their lifecycle.

Right? That's what I was thinking. An experienced runner should know better. And as far as "fit my feet best" for 20 years you have never found that shoes change? I have found that as new shoes come out the 5.0, 6.0 or whatever that things change. That once well fitting shoe doesn't work anymore. I've tried them all but am not going to commit to one for life. They work until they don't.

A good running shoe should last 400-500 miles. If she changed it at 6 months, she was within that and if she went 2 months over, she was slightly over.

Which Danskos would you recommend

I'm a runner, who likes fashion. I don't know whether I'm UMC or just rich. For running, I get professionally fitted and use the recommended shoe until it doesn't suit my needs anymore. So I don't ever choose running shoes based on fashion or a desire for passersby to recognize me as UMC.

Regarding Nike, I see a lot of Nike on the feet of friends and randos. Nike Internationalists are popular.

Really really eye opening and sickening. That said, DS loves Nikes but I try to buy them gently used (if at all) so at least I’m not supporting Nike directly. In contrast, smaller more up-and-coming shoe brands are capitalizing on treating their sponsored elite female athletes really well despite not having deep pockets like Nike does. That’s where I would prefer to spend my $ and I suspect at least some others out there feel the same.

This is why companies shouldn't make political statements. They attracted progressives, sponsored Dylan Mulvaney and Collin K, which caused people to scrutinize them for ideological purity. Meanwhile no one scours On's advertising for political sins.

Nike just doesn't fit my feet well, while Acis does.

Homes can be ugly but they’re the only shoe that helped my plantar fasciitis and I tried everything (custom orthotics, ultrasound treatments, PT) and my podiatrist told me to switch to Hokas. I was in so much unbearable pain and could barely walk. I wore the hokas religiously unless I was sleeping or in the shower and pain gone in 2 weeks. I have never looked back.

I like nike apparel, but stopped wearing Nike running shoes years ago when they started putting huge white soles on every running shoe. They look almost orthopedic now. So I wear asics and sometimes brooks for actual running, Roxy or converse for fashion.

Kind of a sneaker head. I own multiple pairs of Nikes. They are the most comfortable for me because they run a bit more narrow than others.

I agree with this, they work really well for narrow feet compared to some other brands.

I just looked at their website for a running shoes for the spring and literally every pair looks so ugly and tacky. I think the logo is subconsciously triggering me. I think the logo has negative cachet because of their bad marketing the last few years. Even their website features legit ugly people wearing the shoes and clothes (why??!).

Even while watching Rory win the golf Masters last weekend, the Nike logos all over him didn't look prestigious and elegant, it looked so tacky and cheap.

Nikes were a bust for my teen runner.

Brooks seem like they provide the highest quality for those looking to actually run. Hokas are super trendy. I do hear good things from people who are on their feet a lot. (Nurses, teachers)

Same. My teen runners and I all like Brooks the best .

I've always wondered if Hokas open the door to injury. I know *some* lift is good, but their lift seems a little unnatural.

nies are very popular with the toddler, elementary school, middle school and high school crowd, also with thugs.
