the gum sole makes these look like indoor soccer shoes - more specifically sambas.
February 27th, 2017 at 4:05 PM ^
I dunno. Don't really see the resemblance.

That is why I wear athletic shoes only when at the gym. I have the first Air Jordan Michigan shoes and that is the only time I wear them. My only gripe with those shoes is the top of the back part. If I'm not wearing high enough socks, the material on the shoes really digs at my skin on the achilles heel. Eventually my skin gets rubbed too much and it bleeds. Poor design on Nike's part.

and I actually don't like wearing them for anything that requires arch support. There are certain fitness cardio machines at my health club which the shoes aren't good for. I find regular running type shoes are best in those situation.

I SO want to like these....but they look like women's volleyball shoes. Please, just come out with some more Michigan Jordan kicks.

Try scraping them off in grass. The gum will come right off.

I don't mind it but you better chew it with your mouth shut.

They appear to promote pronation.

It's not so much that they promote pronation, but that they counteract supination.

(And yeah - those look like a nightmare for anyone who pronates.)
February 27th, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
I couldn't wear them for that reason - the majority of the wear on my shoes is classic for people who overpronate - heel and forefoot wear - so those shoes would probably kill my feet. On the upside, I am proud of my extremely flexible feet, a feature which is fairly common in those who overpronate as well.

If they slant to the inside, don't they support supination? I walk on the outside of my feet. I'm severly overpronated. My running shoes have to slant to the outside or I get a sore Achilles and my big toes hurt like hell. The bed of the shoe is what slants. The sole of my shoe isn't slanted.
February 27th, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
Pronation
The inward slant exaggerates the pronation. If you supinate, then it balances them.
February 27th, 2017 at 2:39 PM ^
FTR, someone downvoted you and it wasn't me.
I know they say flat feet are over pronated. When I went to Running Fit to be fitted for shoes, I was told I have flat feet and basically no arches but I still have the most wear on the outside of my shoes. For that reason, I was forcing myself to walk on the inside of my feet. I had no idea what that was doing to my feet. I actually ended up returning the shoes and going to a podiatrist who also had no idea why my feet hurt so bad. I ended figuring out on my own and retrained myself to walk on the outside of my feet again.
Now I get shoes from Running Shoe Warehouse. They are online, cheaper, have 90 day free returns, have all of their shoes organized by pronation-supination-neutral walking and free shipping.

I think that it is just that particular photo.
This photo from Sneakernews makes it look rather neutral.

and in Adidas?
February 27th, 2017 at 11:37 AM ^
One Adidas I will happily own are the Boost. I was turned onto them by a Nike/Jordan fan boy. I thought hell froze over when I saw him wearing Adidas.

I like these but wish they would release some of the Player Edition Jordans the Basketball and Football team has been wearing around.

I read that a lot of these people in Cross fit end up in affairs with their Cross fit partner.

The shoes might be designed for CrossFit, but I bet you could still work out in them

Never understood people's desperate need to criticize butterfly/kipping pull-ups. They aren't intended to be strict. They're intended to allow for efficiency and endurance in a workout in which pull-ups are only one component.
