Overall

It's a Nike and suits my running needs. I've worn it for the past 2+ years over a number of different surfaces and in a wide variety of weather conditions. It doesn't seem to collect much dirt and is in excellent condition. My only complaint about this shoe is that it is a fairly tight fit. (Not surprising given that I'm a size 9.5)
