The hate and the love of the shoe has been discussed among sneaker enthusiasts. The flyknit racer has been out for quite a while, but as Nike being Nike they are always releasing new colorways and new styles of the shoe. It is made with the Nike flyknit material that makes it super lightweight and comfortable. The material molds to you foot and keeps it secured. Many people love the flyknit racer for its super lightweight feature. The shoe is literally like the weight of 2 apples exactly 6 ounces. This shoe is specifically designed for runners, but most people just like the look and wear it like any other sneaker to walk in. However, some shoe enthusiasts claim that this sneaker is not comfortable at all and the durability is bad. People either like the shoe a lot or hate it and prefer Adidas over Nike specifically ultra boost over the Nike Racers. To end all the talk about the shoe I will take a trip to the local footlocker and champs and see for myself how the shoe is and maybe buy for a follow up review.

So I took the trip to Footlocker and champs and both stores had them. They had them in the Black and White colorway. My first impressions were that the bottoms were very hard, but it was amazingly light and felt like I wasn't holding anything as if my phone was heavier. I tried them on in a size 9.5 which is my usual size and the shoe is true to size. The moment I put them on and stood up I knew they were something else. The bottoms, which I was worried about because it was hard, it almost felt like it wasn’t even there and it literally felt like I was wearing hard socks. The only downside that I felt with the shoe is the durability. I have a wider foot and it just felt like it would break over a period of time less than the average running shoe. For $150 I believe it is ideal for people who go to the gym or run casual and extreme. I will be purchasing soon and write a follow-up story.
