Nike Ava Rover

appreciated the heads up. got these because why not
 
these just arrived. I think this is the first time I've ever intentionally sized up, since I kept reading they ran small. so I got 10.5 instead of my usual 10. put them on and man they are nice and smooth. really light and airy, but the sole feels thick and supportive for an 8 mile walk so would be a good disneyworld day shoe or 3 hour general admission club show for example. I think they'll dust up and shade nicely and be a low key cool but highly functional and versatile pair. caveat: I've had them for 20 minutes just walking around the house

my only issue with this pair...
gddammit, they're a little too big.

so I'm gonna mull whether I exchange before wearing them out. returning's such a hassle

I did the order on Nike for 10 and 10.5 but it’s been sitting in label created since Sunday.
 
I tightened up the laces and utilized the top string hole, and then these things fit like a charm. decided I was going to test them out so did a 42lb ruck walk to Nats Stadium to do stair laps and these things are probably the most comfortable nike I have. really easy to wear, I can't imagine them ever causing a pain point, and that sole is just so cushiony without feeling like I'm wearing a pair of waterbeds. I'm totally getting another pair, either the black & sails or the all blacks

Color wise are these an off white or more of a light muted pink. Looking at these and the yellow or clay red pair.

they're very much in the off-white/sale color, I don't see pink at this point, having walked around outside for 15 miles or so by now. I can see how that middle strip in the toe looks a little pinkish but irl I get a faded/aged white vibe

Which 3 would you get thinking a white pair, black pair, and one colorful pair but open to any combo since I like all 4 1000002970.jpg

I bought the black pair so that would be my choice.
 
True 10 a little too tight in toebox for my liking, but I ordered 10.5 as well. Comfy shoe, just going to need some slightly higher socks so the tongue doesn’t cut into ankle.

Used mine for disney land. Definitely runs a bit snug in the toe. Reminds me of an upgraded Element 55/87. Super comfy. coupled them with the unicorn sock as well.

Definitely gonna wait for other colors to go on sale.
 
D_eezus D_eezus digging that you used them for disney, my first though was these would be perfect for that. I've put in about 50 miles in them over the past 4 days, walking the vegas strip, hiking all over valley of fire, and today we did 14 miles in boynton canyon. these poor bastards are just getting rocked but they're holding up nicely. fingers crossed for tomorrow when we do a 1 day grand canyon descent/ascent. god I'm tired and old

The dirt on them looks amazing. Tbh
 
i really want the hyein SEO's. i think that grey /black contrast is fire. second choice would be all black. not sure i wanna spend $100 more for the hyeins though.

Jesus Christ these feel so cheap in hand. They are comfy though. But the materials are pitiful. Nike has fallen hard in the past 20 years.
